Yes, absolutely buy more speedcubes. They are inexpensive and there's no reason not to fall in love with hardware while you work on the software aspect.

You hear a lot of people going "OMG don't learn F2L until you're under a minute!!"

But really it's not solve time that matters. Once you are super comfortable with the beginners method and know the beginners algorithms back to front then it's probably time to learn something new (like F2L). It keeps things interesting, because seriously, how boring is doing the beginners method all the time when you could be learning new stuff?

Speed will come with time and practice, regardless of the method. Don't worry about your times for now at all.
