Review

Samsung's Fascinate for Verizon is a slim and light phone. It uses Samsung's own Android skin which is not far removed from the default but does have a smoothly scrolling home screen and application launcher. Bing is used for all searching on the phone rather than Google, which some people will dislike. [The much less function] Bing maps is also used in place of Google Maps, but fortunately you can install Google Maps from the Marketplace.
