Does anybody know when the full version (not beta) of VS 2005 will be
available?

I'm have a new project, which will not be done until next January. Do you
think I can start it in C# Express 2005, and buy a VS 2005 in January?

From what has been stated publicly so far, I would think that would work out
fine. Although I haven't played with the express line yet, and so unless the
project files generated by express are not compatible, for some odd reason,
with what the professional line expects, you should be ok.

I think it would be a mistake to wait until January to switch to the new
version. The implication is "I'll have tested it completely, and, at the
last moment, recompile with the real version, and it will just work." That
decision is likely to end in tears. I would take AT LEAST a month of QA
testing once you've switched. (i.e. I'd buy it in December).

YMMV.
