oops as Mike said all AT&T-owned stores have them... but some say that they're not "unboxed" yet, and others (believe it or not) told me that they're SOLD OUT!
@Daniel: I've had no problems at all... reception has been much better than my old Cingular 3125 - and no-one on the other end has complained about call quality - I've asked a couple of friends while on the phone and they've said they hear me perfectly. I haven't really used speaker phone much except indoors (where it was great), so I can't attest to that feature's volume, but regular in-call volume has been easily loud enough for me both indoors and out. Recently I've been pairing it with a Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headset, and I highly recommend it... if you can get used to the feel of the S9, the call quality is surprisingly good and being able to listen to music wirelessly in stereo is fantastic. The BJ2 handles the stereo bluetooth connection like a pro, with perfect streaming 99% of the time.
Try typing on the keyboard in-store before you buy - some people have said the keys are still too small for their fingers... for me, they're fantastic, but some friends have asked how on earth I press one key at a time so it's worth testing.
“Apart from the fact that it's got a bit of infamy to outgrow, the old model was a pretty sharp-looking handset and the Storm2 refines that look in all the right ways.”

Hi, Jake.
I plan to get the blackjack II this week, can you tell me about the reception or call quality of this phone?
