I came here hoping to read the answer to that question, but managed to only find 30+ posts of a pissing contest over "they should never have released it" / "serves you right for not waiting" / "my cell phone company is better than your cell phone company".

I am sure if you hold off until March or so it will be usable. My opinion is that someone who has never used a Blackberry device will like the Storm better than someone who owns one now.
