good hardware, very very iffy software(blame verizon/bing/microsoft)
By Jiahui Shi
pro's1. omg omg omg the screen is so pretty (really you have to see for your self, this phone is the i-500. the i-510(samsung DROID CHARGEEEEEE is this phone + 4g) can be found in most verizon stores)2. hummingbird processor is "20% faster", but the important part is that the gpu(graphics card) is leapyears beyond any other phone at this price point.3. thanks to #2, if this phone is virtually unbrickable( in other words, there is nothing you can do to this phone software wise that breaks it for good)4. It runs on verizon and thanks to page plus, you can buy a used(check if its stolen or blacklisted first though) fasinate and activate it on prepaid page plus service(its a verizon reseller)5.Con's1. BING!2. also did i mention bing? also vz navagator, skype mobile(not to be confused with the other skype) and a bunch of other crapware.3. battery life. i worked a 12 hour shift this semester and this is the only phone that needs to be plugged in before my shift is over(my evo made it though when i turned 4g off and my samsung intercept has the same battery as the fasinate but it has a 2.6in screen vs the 4 inch on the fasinate.)

Awesome AMOLED Screen, but here's the rest of the story...
By Jerusha Chenoweth
Note: I am work from home, don't leave home a lot, and seldom use my smart phone for more than calls.First off the good:I love love loved the phone! The uber sexy AMOLED screen is awesome to say the least. I love the quality photos, the macro on the camera is awesome! The video quality is really impressive! Sound quality excellent! Signal reception WOW! Out at our lake property, where most phones struggle for a signal if they even get one... the signal reception was outstanding! I loved everything about this phone! The phone is really easy for a newbie to the world of smart phones to learn. I would give the phone 5+ stars for the AMOLED screen!Also, the phone is wifi capable, meaning when we traveled to Aruba, I could sit in cafe that offered free internet and sign on to send emails, Facebook or use Skype etc. Loved having the phone! It also took excellent pics even in low light... as well as wonderful hd video!Here's the rest of the story....I received this phone for Mothers Day 2011. I named her "Ame" after her AMOLED screen. Unfortunately by June 3G quit working. First, I called Verizon who walked me through a reset, explained about removing the battery blah blah blah. The reset didn't last... so the next day, I called Samsung directly because they are the manufacturer. The Samsung Tech walked me through a different reset than than Verizon had prior and subsequently walked me through .... but still sporadic 3G at best! I then started the Verizon tango... after the reset, I would have to wait for 24 hours or so to make sure that it was no longer working, call them back dance one more time and finally after a couple of tries with Verizon in June, Verizon finally sent a new-to-me phone (factory refurb... which btw irritates me to no end). :-/After receiving the first replacement phone (my 2nd Fascinate) all was good; for about 3-4 or so months... just long enough to momentarily forget why my phone was replaced to begin with. I cannot remember exactly when I started noticing that my cloud service was sketchy/intermittent and that I was missing texts (using Google Voice)as well (I rarely text so it took a while to realize I wasn't getting any). Sometimes I would find my stuff uploaded just fine.. then not so much. I had even emailed the cloud service and Google to complain about their service... boy was that embarrassing on my part. Sigh... Anyway, life was very hectic in November but finally the light-bulb went on in my brain, I connected the dots and called Verizon to complain about my phone in December (busy busy holidays) Come January, they finally replaced my phone (my third Samsung Fascinate) due to poor functioning 3G issues.This third phone arrived around the 15th of January and only lasted about two weeks... texts from Google voice were sporadic, and my Navigation crashed every time I tried to use it... regardless of whether I was using Verizon or Google Maps. I again had to start the Verizon Tango, the reset etc didn't work... the minute I fired up GPS or tried to go on-line... crash!Now, I really had a hard time deciding to give up on the Samsung Fascinate, I still say Samsung has the sexiest most vibrant WOW factor screen out there! Uber easy to use even for a newbie! But when the Verizon tech gave me the out... Finally after an extra 12 hours to decide... dumped the most beautiful phone I have ever owned! Feb 1st marked the beginning of a different brand android phone relationship.Note:If Samsung gifted me one of their newer ones with AMOLED, just to give them a second chance... I would love to accept, just to see if they've worked out the problems. But I won't shell out any hard ca$h for another Samsung after three strikes!

By Ashley
I bought this phone about 7 months ago and I absolutely love it.Before I had a Blackberry Storm, and this is a MILLION times better, and I chose this phone instead of the iPhone because I prefer Android. I really love everything about this phone, only reason I gave it 4 stars is because sometimes it freezes, but then again that has happened to every phone I've ever had. Sometimes it can get a little slow.But overall this is a great phone, and I'm surprised that there are so many negative reviews.
