Does the storm 2 that much different than the 1? Is it better at things like copy and paste? That is a mother to use on my storm. I know it has a few features like wifi. Should I wait for RIM to throw me a bone with OS6? I don't know what to do! By the way, this would be an early upgrade. If I upgrade now can I do an early upgrade every year or do I have to wait two years to upgrade again? Thanks

Assuming you meet the requirements for the one year upgrade at the two year price, you can do it every year.
Using the Android OS isn't very difficult. It's learning curve is about the same as it was when first using a Blackberry, shorter now that you understand the concept of multitasking.
My roommate has an Incredible and using copy and paste is significantly easier than the BB, not jumpy at all but it's not as flexible (you place the cursor somewhere and hit select text, the cursor is anchored in place and another one appears that you can move, with Blackberry you can move both, although it's very jumpy and sloppy), just like it was on the Storm1, the problem with copy and paste doesn't lie with the phone but with the software.
Why not keep your current Storm and get a Droid X, you got 30 days to decide if you like it or not, if you don't, take it back and wait for a suitable OS6 device to land on Verizon...if you want a touchscreen, you'd probably have to wait until November or so when a new Storm usually comes out. The slider Blackberry thats on OS6 isn't going to be on Verizon.
I had the Storm1, the biggest advantages is double memory (I would have horribly low memory with the S1, never had that problem with the S2 and I've owned it since the day it launched), WiFi, and I can type like nobody's business on the S2.
