Wait for #2! The Storm 1 is a crapshoot on whether or not you'll get a good one at time of purchase. I love mine and I got lucky I guess, but don't get stuck with old hardware when the new stuff is right around the corner? They'll have had almost a year now to right some wrongs with the first one. As always good BB maintenance practices are vital in keeping any BB running smoothly, some more than others and I really think this is where the big disconnect is with a lot of BB customers who don't do research or read up on how to use the phone properly. "Smartphones" are different than "dumbphones" in that they run more like a computer than a cellphone and as such require shutting down of applications after use and soft resets on a daily/weekly basis to regain memory and performance.

I am in my 30 days, expires 9/29 and so far no problems. The Storm 2 I am told will have none, if very little rebates, discounts etc? So I will try to make it 2 yrs and see how Storm 2 does. Most of the accessories will not fit the smaller case, like charging station.

How much stock should I place in the phonearena website?

It is saying that the storm 2 will be released on 9/29.

I wouldn't put too much stock in any blog site. They're rumor mongers, especially. The phone will get released when it gets released, you can't buy it until then. So just be patient.

I can assure you it's definitely NOT being released in September.

Boy this phone is really starting a buzz! :smileyvery-happy:

It's nice to see on here. I know I am holding off for it's release also and if the October/November release rumour's are true then all will be good.

Frankly, the rumour sites seem to know more than this one. That of course is nothing personal to anyone!

Some of the better ones appear to be crackberry and boy genius report along with blackberry os. These ones seem to get some sort of reliable information that some of the other ones referr to. Phone Arena is one of those that looks to these other sites for info.

It will be nice when we get an offical word from blackberry and here. Until then I'll keep using my 8830 and not waste an upgrade, it will either be a Tour or a Storm 2 for me, with the Storm 2 leading the way after all that I have seen on it.
