For those of you still looking to buy a storm...head over to you local Best Buy. They got a shipment in yesterday (Friday) to fill some pre-orders. 2 stores in my area each got around 30 phones (10-15 for pre-orders). I snagged one at the Framingham, MA Best Buy. They still had 8 remaining. If you're buying full price (not eligible for Verizon upgrade) they will price match against the Verizon store price of $499.

Best Buy does not match for upgrade costs however. My business partner and I both are on the same contract. I got my phone at Verizon, and she got hers at Best Buy. She paid $100 more for her phone- for some reason they have different rules about early upgrades. Neither one of us qualified for the "new for two" but we qualified for an early upgrade. We are still trying to figure it out. Very strange. However, Best Buy is offering a free bluetooth headset with the Storm, and discounts on accessories.
