I ABSOLUTELY love my fascinate!!!

I have not had those problems and have had it for two weeks now.
Honestly I was paranoid about getting this phone because of the bugs that they always have but i have not experienced ANY problems with mine.

If you do get it I recommend getting the spare battery and charging box thing that they offer, i have to change mine once a day but i never have my phone actually plugged into the wall.. I just change out the batteries.

answers:

I do the exact same as you and i charge mine every other day. You DEFINITELY don’t need to charge it 3 times a day.

Alright, now I know much more about the iphone than the fascinate. The iphone has a much larger app store. To my knowledge, the fascinate is android, and one of the top reasons i went iphone is the app store. Android market had no quality games other than angry birds. Android runs widgets, so you can say check the weather without opening an app. You can also check your mail with widgets. The widgets also drain battery life. The iphone has horrible notifications, but has itunes. My music is my life, and I was stressed cause my android droid x didnt have my itunes music. Also the iphone has managed to replace my dedicated camera. It may be only five mega-pixels, but quality is crisp.
The iphone is more user friendly and easy to use.

Think this way:

-Personalization: Fascinate
-Easier to use: iPhone
-Camera quality: iPhone
-Notifications: Fascinate
-Gaming/app store: iPhone
-Music/movies: iPhone

Now think about this choice before just deciding. What are you looking for in a phone. DO NOT PURCHASE A PHONE BECAUSE OF ITS LOOKS!!!!

answers:

Not until the droid 2 that will be coming out on Aug. 12th has some time to shine. Look for it around Labor day.
