If you buy the phone now you can always upgrade the SW later on.

If I could afford one right now, I would have bought one!

I´ll wait cause at least here in Spain Vodafone will sell it in around 500€ so why pay more I am with co. so wait is the idea pay less good for my pocket.

@jucame: I think you will have to wait a while for the price to drop so low, maybe on contract with a network provider lock, but who wants that?
In Norway the cheapest one I have seen on contract was 760€. Don`t know if it was with providerlock though.

And that was a special treat for Esato members.
(They only had a limited number of phones and are sold out before someone ask)

The software is pretty darn stable for a handset like this!
