I love the Fascinate, great smartphone for the money! I've played with friend's iPhone's and I really like the Fascinate better; the ability to use widgets and have news/stock updates on the home screen is great!
Love the light weight attractive design. Phone is somewhat ddifficult to use with one hand. Keyboard keys should also be larger. I am extremely dissatisfied with Android 2.1 on this phone vs. 2.2. I had use of Motor Droid2 with 2.2.1 so I have a reference. Samsung's constant lack of timely operating system updates makes recommendation to others difficult.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: obsolete operating system

Phone is terrible

Wish I had never bought this phone. Service is poor and the phone constantly freezes up. Have had problems with it from day one. Have had to pull battery be because my contacts keep disappearing. I use hotmail and get no notifications. I could go on. Worst phone I ever bought and will be putting my storm back into service!
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Id love it if it had the updates 2 view video on sites ie Adobe Flash. It doesn't have it yet & likely won't until I'm ready for a new phone I'm more frustrated than satisfied. NOTHING'S more infuriating than the disappointment of the inability to watch a video.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, updates not avail.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No Flash

Cons: Bing, No Flash, Running outdated 2.1 Android. Pros: Nice display, light, fast, compact. Nothing special, but good price on phone is the only reason I bought. Samsung does not run 2.2 on none of the major US carriers. Android 2.3, 4G is out, and they are still running 2.1 with no update in site. This phone should not have been plaqued with Windows features. Bing! You want see google products defaulted in any WP7 phone. Samsung!! Listen to your customers. The Galaxy Tab is another example!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: bing search default, running 2.1 aos
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall Great Phone

Pros: 1. The display is amazing. 2. The phone is easy to use. 3. The battery life holds up pretty well (in regards to other smartphones). 4. There's a lot of user friendly features.
Cons: 1. You have to be really careful while talking on the phone or your cheek will cut others off, mute them, or place them on speaker. If anyone knows a way to correct this problem, PLEASE let me know! 2. Preloaded apps can't be deleted from the phone. It's not a major con, but can be annoying.
