"Fascinate Has Problems" Says Customer. "We Know" Says Verizon

The Samsung Fascinate, which is the 4th Galaxy S phone to reach the major carriers,  seems to have a few problems. Verizon seems to know, and they are keeping a list, which is unfortunately pretty extensive. Verizon hopefully is readying an Over-The-Air update that fixes these symptoms, which include ending calls when pressing the search button in a call, screen blanking when receiving another call while in one, email sync problems, GPS issues (shocking, right?) and more. Also, the one thing that annoys me the most about the Fascinate is that it use Bing Maps and Bing Search instead of Google. What!!!?? It is a Google phone that runs on Google software, and they put Bing?! It was like when AT&T used Yahoo on the Motorola Backflip, except this time, the phone has hardware that is up to pace with THIS decade. Verizon should have just added this to the Droid series and the phone actually might have sold well. Verizon kind of made a waste of a phone that has the best hardware of it's class, with a 1 GHZ processor, huge GPU, and more.
