I bought this one after my Blackberry Bold 9930 and I am very impressed. I have two others and neither look as good or feels better than this one. Also a Samsung Fascinate Skin should be a mandatory purchase with the phone because you will love it. Sleek, form fitting, and rubber accent on the edges keep the availability of the keys on the outside in use.

Great review. I’ve had my Fascinate for a while now. I can honestly say its the best smartphone that I’ve had….I’m saying this after coming from a Blackberry Storm. Keep up the good work Samsung!

I just got my Fascinate and what pisses me off the most is the stupid timeout on the home buttoms. I took those for granted on my former phone (droid 1). But not only doese this phone flip the home/menu buttons, but I cant even see the darn buttons in most low light.

There is plenty to love (and hate) about this phone. But the home light seems like such a stupid bug to let slip through QA.

I went to the store and was going to buy the droid x or the droid 2. I ended up with the Fascinate unprepared. I held the phones in the verizon store and really liked the screen on the Fascinate. I have had no problems with the phone and am waiting for the 2.2 update. I have taken pictures/videos and am very impressed at the quality. I didn’t want a physical keyboard as I have been using the BB Storm since it came out and am used to no physical keyboard. I have to give this phone a 10 out of 10. Navigation is easy this phone exceeded my expectations on every aspect of the phone.

I agree 100 % I had the Incredible thought I upgraded when I stwiched to the Samsung Fasinate I did not know it was a down grade. I can't stand BING It's a waste of time. I miss google maps and adding events with addresses and just hitting th address and your on your way . You did not have to think with the Incredible It did it for you . So My question is Does anyone know if the 2.2 will offer an improved naviagation? and easy vocie commands and a better google search I miss that stuff on my Incredible I am actually thinking about going back to the Incredible but In one way it looks like a dinosaur next to my Fasicante but much more reliable . Howver if 2.2 will offer what I had with the incredible I'll stay Any advise?

I'm so happy with my new unlocked cell phones! This has an unbelievably fast processor, great feel and easy to text on. I used to own a unlocked htc phones, but I'm so much happier with my brand new unlocked samsung phones. This Samsung Fascinate is so much better for my business and pulls my email in so much faster. And I really couldn't be happier with it since it is an unlocked tmobile phones and it's a unlocked 3g phones I can take it overseas. My family loves my new phone and can't get enough of the games. I'm going to purchase another one for my son for his birthday from gsmauthority.com. Definitely would recommend this phone.

…if you root the phone and or install a custom ROM…you eliminate almost all of the negative aspects of this review.

if you download home switcher from the market you can set it as i have done it myself also you need to go into settings and clear the home launcher as default that i suspect is why you had the problem

You cannot set LP on the Fascinate. I tried it on 3 different units, it made thescreen go black. The only display you had was turn on and off screens. Once LP installed only way to get it back is to hard reset the phone from the off position, done at Verizon store. Fed up with the Fascinate.

Not to mention the phone freezing up, and not turning back on, 3 of them, one with no apps downloaded.

Sold and went back to DX

I have had my Fascinate for 3 weeks now, and I simply love it. Having had PDA's and SmartPhones for over a decade, and this is, by far, the most useful and well rounded device I have had to date. While I agree the lock button is inconveniently located on the side vs HTC's location on the top, it works well with your thumb once you get used to it. The camera takes stunning images, just remember it is a phone, not a DSLR. I have added LauncherPro, removed Bing, installed all the Google search apps including maps, and even rooted it to allow Wireless tethering. The ONLY major problem I have with the Fascinate is absence of a forward facing camera to enable video teleconferencing. Battery life? Don’t ask…I keep a charger at my bedside, my office, and my car. Oh well, you can't have everything…
