In my opinion, you should go ahead and buy the current Storm. The improvements to the Storm 2 are most likely minuscule and not all that great. You shouldn’t worry about it because, as you said, there’s always something newer and cooler out on the market; as soon as you buy that Storm 2, something even better will come out. Plus, that’s a long wait to deal with when you have a screwed up phone, and not really worth $100+.
