I will run the risk of estimating (based on current activities) that 2.2 will release by the end of Feb.
Hmmm...Samsung doing something ridiculous...yeah that'll never happen...that'd be like the Acclaim getting Froyo before us...interesting
i think it would be kind of ridiculous for the mesmorize to release froyo first (i think thats scheduled for march)

If it wasnt for that hardware and the non-locked down-ness [just made that term up now]
Hate to throw the Iphone in here....but this is one reason Apple does it right.....they make one phone and one phone only.....they aren't like Samsung that makes a gazillion different models for all carriers.
Samsung doesn't spend the time or resources to make each one matter and run awesome....Apple does.
Now I know Apple isn't as customizable...but everything is a trade off. I believe there basic hardware and software to be superior and Apple continually updates their software
I can't get a Verizon Iphone for a while because I'm still under contract with the existing Fascinate.....I want to love this phone...but it has been hard.....never had to dick with Iphone when I was with AT&T.
Quick question: I'm a new smart phone user... my old phone was upgraded every 2 years, is it the same with these smart phones? I don't want to have this phone anymore...
Are you still within 30 days of purchase? If not your probably stuck
Nah I waited because I was told when I bought the phone and the last day of my trial that it would be out in a week or two.. plus I like the phone. Just want to be freaking up to date
We all have our reasons for wanting 2.2....but what exactly do you feel you.are missing by being on 2.1?
It's coming
That makes no sense. It's like having a car company make ONE model car and forcing the end user to adapt to it's short comings for their individual needs. Variety is the spice of life and the more phones we have to choose from the better.

I just keep kicking myself for not going with the droid x lol I might have to end up rooting this thing after all
It's funny, I played with the X and Fascinate for quite a while in the store prior to buying the Fascinate (Droid 2 for a short time).
The Fascinate won because it seemed a near perfect upgrade/transition from my Eris (minus the trackball), form factor wise, etc.
The X still looks great to me, though.
Well I was already running 2.2 on my droid but contract was up so I had to get a new phone I liked both the X and the Fascinate but I went with the Fascinate because it fit in my pocket better and I was assured by the rep that 2.2 was "on it's way soon!" lol My bad for believing, but this is gonna be the last samsung phone i ever buy

Chrome 2 Phone.
FYI - I told the rep that Verizon is pretty much forcing us to root our phones so we can get full FLASH support.
He said "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you say ROOT, NEVER MENTION ROOT TO A VERIZON REP" I got a good laugh out of it.
I was on the phone with a VZW level 3 support tech after the DL09/Mac debacle....
He actually SUGGESTED that I root, and that if I did and installed a Froyo build, that would fix the Mac problem. When I explained to him that because I had SO much trouble with this phone, I was afraid to root it and void the warranty, he said "Oh, they never check that".
