Samsung Fascinate Crashes Verizon's Andriod Phone Party

Summary

The Samsung Fascinate, which Verizon Wireless will start selling for
$199 this week, is the underdog in an Android lineup dominated by HTC
and Motorola.

On Verizon, those manufacturers' Droid phones steal the show,
benefiting from aggressive marketing and catchy branding. In terms of
hardware, the Fascinate is sort of a midway point between HTC's Droid
Incredible and Motorola's Droid X. The Fascinate also has 2 GB
internal storage and 16 GB on MicroSD, which is more than the Droid
Incredible's 8GB/2GB combination and less than the Droid X's 8GB/16GB.

Reviews of the Fascinate by Slashgear and Engadget note that the phone
uses Bing as its default search engine, not Google - probably more
fallout from the cozy Bing-Verizon relationship.
