Samsung Fascinate September Launch

but we'll just have to wait for release. I tried the Vibrant and really wanted to like the phone but it was just too buggy. May have to wait for both to be updated to 2.2, GPS and email fixes before I can decide. Then there is the carrier cost, coverage and speed issues between Verizon and T-Mobile. Decisions, decisions and like most people on here, I want the best and I want it now! :D

Well if you tried it in store you can never go by that because with all the crap people put on those demo models you cant always go by that

Actually took it for the 14 day trial run. Signal strength was much better at home than AT&T plus 3G which AT&T doesn't have within 60 miles. The email started out OK, not great but OK, then got slower and slower then if it retrieved email at all it was the next day, not real useful. It set a fixed number of emails in the inbox so if you deleted crap mail, it went out an filled the inbox with the next oldest email while sending notification that there was NEW email. Reboots, battery removal, uninstall reinstall accounts, nothing worked so back to T-Mobile it went. Really disappointed because I loved the look and feel of the phone which hits the sweet spot for my personal preferences. So, I'm waiting for Vibrant fixes and will also look at the Fascinate and read the reactions here.
