Well, there is no release date on the website and all they have said is that it would be released 'later this year'.. Do you think there is a good chance it will be released in October?

Just becaues your plan is up doesn't mean you have to upgrade your phone right away.

If you upgrade now, you're 30 day grace period might be over by the time the Storm is released. If you find that you really like the Storm when it is released, you may not be able to return the Curve anymore.

Wait it out... keep your options available..

Really? So once you walk out the store with the phone there is no turning back?

Sure does stink.

No WIFI on the Storm though, what is with that? I have a BOLD for work and want to get the storm for my personal phone but Data in aus is expensive enough as is. Bastards just try and make you use wap at 2 bucks a meg.

I know what you mean.. Data is WAY to expensive here.

Does anybody have any ideas of what the pricing each month would be on a plan? Would the plan be similar to the UK one?
