I was in the same boat. I went for it and bought a storm. I bought from an individual so I still have my contract upgrade for if and when s2 comes. I don't regret it at all.

WAIT.
Storm1 is the phone that RIM got everyone to pay money for to be a beta tester for the storm2.
eBay it or wait.

If you buy the storm and sign a 2yr agreement you will have to pay full retail price to upgrade to the Storm 2 whenever it comes out.

We are not beta testers we just love blackberry and wanted the next upgrade. The Storm 2 is the next upgrade and that is what happens with technology, their will always be something newer and better, and thats the price we pay for having it first. I know it is a little bit faster then most of us expected but it will happen.

Check out ebay. Or, look here on crackberry. I've seen more than a few people selling their Storm. No one can give you an accurate guess as to when the Storm 2 will come out. I think it will be around November to catch the buying cycle of Christmas. But I could easily be off by 4 or 5 months either way.

New storm work many better than old storm. If you no have to have storm this minute then I would wait on storm 2.

I would definetly wait for Storm 2. Storm 1 is a steaming turd and you don't want to get stuck with it long term and you probably wouldnt be able to sell it for much after S2 hits. If at&t is good in your area the iPhone would be the way to go. It's like comparing a bmw to a kia.

Wait for the Storm 2, the Storm has major issues that are hopefully addressed with new hardware. If you need something now, there are plenty of great devices available, G1, Pre and iPhone.

I am in the same boat I want a new phone and well I am thinking about buying it off of ebay and then just get the second one when it comes out but then I wonder how much better is the second one going to be? Are they going to fix the problems that they had with the first one? I know I want to think they will but I just don't know. Then the iphone is just so much better then the storm but on a much crappier network, so I really dont know what to do.
