I bought this phone about 7 months ago and I absolutely love it.Before I had a Blackberry Storm, and this is a MILLION times better, and I chose this phone instead of the iPhone because I prefer Android. I really love everything about this phone, only reason I gave it 4 stars is because sometimes it freezes, but then again that has happened to every phone I've ever had. Sometimes it can get a little slow.

But overall this is a great phone, and I'm surprised that there are so many negative reviews.

pro's
1. omg omg omg the screen is so pretty (really you have to see for your self, this phone is the i-500. the i-510(samsung DROID CHARGEEEEEE is this phone + 4g) can be found in most verizon stores)
2. hummingbird processor is "20% faster", but the important part is that the gpu(graphics card) is leapyears beyond any other phone at this price point.
3. thanks to #2, if this phone is virtually unbrickable( in other words, there is nothing you can do to this phone software wise that breaks it for good)
4. It runs on verizon and thanks to page plus, you can buy a used(check if its stolen or blacklisted first though) fasinate and activate it on prepaid page plus service(its a verizon reseller)
5.
Con's
1. BING!
2. also did i mention bing? also vz navagator, skype mobile(not to be confused with the other skype) and a bunch of other crapware.
3. battery life. i worked a 12 hour shift this semester and this is the only phone that needs to be plugged in before my shift is over(my evo made it though when i turned 4g off and my samsung intercept has the same battery as the fasinate but it has a 2.6in screen vs the 4 inch on the fasinate.)

I started a love/hate relationship with this phone over a year ago on contract with Verizon. The software left much to be desired, but this new thing, AMOLED screen, was amazing! Battery life just sucked.

I had a couple problems with it, but Verizon always sucked it up and just sent me a new one. I'm not sure if I caused the issue or not, all glitches and no physical damage. Its been thrown out my car window 3 times with no damage! That's the magnesium frame for you, very lightwieght and inertia free, but strong. Very flammable though.

So the secret to this phone if you buy one, is GeeWiz. Its the software for the phone the way Samsung intended it. Look it up and don't look back! I can now go most of a weekend on light use, not a sip of charging.

Why there is nothing like it: no other phone is as compact and light, while being a full smartphone. iPhone feels huge and cludgy next to it. A geeks choice. Here she is docked on my dashboard: [...]
