Galaxy-S-GT-I9000

AT&T has the Captivate, T-Mobile has the Vibrant, and now Verizon Wireless has the Fascinate, it’s very own iteration of the Samsung Galaxy S. Featuring the same 4″ WVGA Super AMOLED display, 5 megapixel camera and 1GHz Hummingbird processor as its siblings, the Fascinate also has a six-axis motion control for an enhanced gaming experience, Swype virtual keyboard, and comes pre-loaded with Bing Search and Bing Maps. U.S. Cellular also announced that it will be jumping on the Galaxy S bandwagon, although what its model will be named and what most of its tailor-made features will be are still a mystery. Then again, so are its price and release date. All we know is that it, just like the Fascinate, will be available this Fall.

        DROID X, better specs.

        Bigger screen, HDMI output, 8mpx camera, will updated first than this one, maybe this has a better GPU, but the CPU on DROID X seems to be faster

    • elijahblake

      def looks better!!!

  • FrankieFlo

    Is vzw model also lacking the front facing camera as well ?

    • Diesel

      When VZW offers a service that can utilize it im sure they will start including them. Thats just my quess.

  • Bryant D

    Dang every carrier wants a piece of the Galaxy S.

  • DaveNYC

    seriously wtf is up with bing search and bing maps preloaded on android. an ‘open’ platform on an ‘open’ carrier should not come preloaded with any crap.

    • bob

      that’s why it has bing on it. it’s an “open” platform. they can do whatever they want.

    • Diesel

      Cant we remove it and add Google maps?

      • elijahblake

        Yes,

        Bing is just an option.. you can use yahoo and google as well

  • drew dogg

    The Bing is enough to make my clear decision… dro dro Droid X

  • JFA

    Bing search and maps??? They have to be kidding me. That’s like when AT&T traded Google search for yahoo.

  • STILLIRISE

    like i keep saying, when its all said and done, this will end up being the #1 selling phone, not because its “better” or its features…it will be #1 because its on all the major players..unlike the droid x, droid etc…this is the main reason why the blackberry curve is the # 1 selling phone…

    Fall? Talk about being late to the party!

  • elCheapo

    All this phone goodness and no flash for the camera?

    • Dream

      It Has an LED flash where are you getting your info from?

  • http://www.verizonwireless.com VZW

    You can download the Google Maps and Search. They are not blocking it like AT&T has done. It just comes preloaded with it on the phone.

  • iamajim

    looks nice; good to have choices eh? we’ll see how this stacks up to the X; my ne2 in oct is starting to look like fun.

  • madi

    so does anyone know if this phone will need a data plan and where i can get more info??? please and thanks=)

  • garbageguts

    Samsung Galaxy S or Droid X? The Galaxy S screen allows for angled viewing, vibrant images, can be used in sunlight, optimized power use, etc. WiFi n connectivity and Blue-tooth 3.0 will be much faster (e.g., download of apps, streaming to TV, web viewing, …) Droid X has better camera and lens – more screen real-estate for those who want it. In addition rubberized exterior and superior phone capabilities might be a tipping factor for many. Unfortunately, both phones will quickly become outdated once faster processor 4G options hit retailers late fall.
