Verizon's version of the Samsung Galaxy S phone, the Samsung Fascinate can be pre-ordered today. Reviews of the Samsung Fascinate have been excellent, except for disagreements over Samsung's TouchWiz added-on interface and Verizon making Bing the only available search engine.

The best aspects of the Samsung Fascinate, like other Samsung Galaxy S phones, are the super fast 1 GHz hummingbird processor, especially when processing graphics, and the Super AMOLED 4 inch touchsreen. It is very close in specifications to the sold-out Droid X which is back-ordered and will not ship until 9/21.
To help decide if you want to buy the Samsung Fascinate, we suggest you read reviews of the top Android smartphones available now and later. If you still are not sure, you can wait until Thursday to see the screen for yourself and how it feels in your hands.

be another sell-out like the other the Verizon Droid Incredible and Droid X did earlier this year due to AMOLED shortages.
