Friend came by tonight to get some help rooting and loading an AOSP rom on his D2.
I will never consider this phone a pain in the ass again.

Are you implying that the droid 2 is a bigger pain in the ass? Because I feel like the fascinate is a huge pain in the ass and am looking for something else. If the droid 2 is worse then thanks for the heads up. **** I miss my nexus, why oh why couldn't they just make a vzw nexus like they said they were going to?!
if you wanted a nexus on verizon get a dinc, just as good actually better. and as far as the droid 2 goes, there is absolutely no way that the fascinate is a bigger pain in the ass than the D2 with the locked bootloader. No way no how

Amen on both counts. Inc and desire are both N1 clones, different form factor.

uhhh, you do realize you posted this in a fascinate forum? why would you think there are droid users here?
wow. good night.
Well that was my initial reaction. But theoretically someone out there with a droid is tired of it and wants a phone with a more soothing, sharper contrast screen. Myself, I think this phone has a lot of advantages over the Droid line on the aesthetic front.
However, "I hate my phone, so trade me yours" isn't going to create a queue of motivated buyers. So it reads like a rant.
My exact point was that a Droid user who is scouting the fascinate forum would be more likely to trade. And I do not hate my phone I'm just bored with it. I recommend this phone all the time.

yea i just really want a fascinate so i can get better roms
Seems that the owner traded...and posted in the wrong section to begin with. Thread closed.
Thought you all might enjoy this... looks pretty nice, but they still include the locked bootloader. Anyone willing to deal with that again or will you condemn moto to the way of the razr? Personally, unless blur is MUCH improved they won't be getting any more of my money. /end rant

Thicker, no FFC, no 4G no thanks.
No 4G won't even touch it, whats the point.
Locked boot = at the mercy of motorola regarding updates
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Frankly, screw Motorola. I like my Droid X, but the whole bootloader issue is guaranteeing I will never buy another device from them until/unless they change their ways.
I will never buy another Moto product with a locked bootloader...
Will go with htc next time... Just because of what they've been able to do with the evos UI, things we will never see on the droidx like MIUI,.and Myns warm rom looks pretty sweet.

Ive decided to keep my fascinate even though have an available upgrade. Thanks to our excellent dev community here, ive never been happier w/ what's floating around in my pocket. I use it for everything, and its been easy to root and flash. I think im gonna wait for the second wave of the next gen phones.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Good Choice you've made there.
Just think there will be plenty of more phones soon that would be much better than Thunderbolt =D
Yeah it's not really worth an upgrade IMO until LTE is widespread and dual core phones are established.
The current generation of 2.2 ROMs are shockingly fast, stable, and battery thrifty.
I'll still give any vzw rep a hard time for the meagre support this phone had received, but secretly I am really pleased with the latest superclean. Thank goodness there was no exodus before the EB01 roms were so thoroughly tweaked.
It's thinner (ok slightly) than a thunderbolt and fully unlocked. I love that I can save it from the brink of brick with Odin. It'd be nice to have dual cameras or LTE but I have no justification for bailing before Q3 or Q4. I want a higher resolution screen and perhaps HDMI out.

I totally agree. The Tbolt isn't a bad phone, but I think having the "latest thing" has hyped it a bit more than its worth, especially with 4G not being everywhere. I checked it out at a Vzw store, and I love the size of my Fascinate compared to the tbolt. It fits a pocket a lot better, its just so small and thin. Screen is better too.
Overall though, I think waiting for more competition is a solid choice, but of course I don't blame anyone for wanting the newest phone out there, especially if they have 4G in their area.
Thinking about waiting for the next big thing makes me think about all the new phones coming out for T-Mobile. Too bad they'll be internet-less smartphones later on....

There is no reason for upgrading f right now if you have a current Gen top tier phone. It is going to be a while before developers start making apps for dual core phones or apps that require a lot of processing power.

I had an original Droid before the Fascinate. A lot of good qualities but the weight drove me nuts. Newer phones like the thunderbolt weigh quite a bit more and you feel it. With the ROMs we have now, it's hard to justify an upgrade.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I think I'll keep my fascinate for a while, but the new droid incredible S/2 is tempting.

Went and played with a tbolt for a while, I wasn't the least bit impressed. Defi not enough to pay 300 out the door. As frustrated as I am with Samsung, our Dev community is awesome. Im pretty sure I was running adrynalynes roms on my pos omnia.
Thank you devs foe making the decision for me not to jump ship. Btw, I'm in San Diego and have 4g almost everywhere I am.

Yeah I had an upgrade too...... I used it tho...... On another fascinate for my wifes line lol. She was deadset on an iphone until she had my droid1 now she prefers android! Im gonna go celebrate by devouring an apple now!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
All of our devs are jumping ship to the thunderbolt. Though they say they wont abandon us, I'm sure development will slow because they will be playing with their fancy new phones. I would have upgraded if I could.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
dev for fascinate are doing all they can for our phone - if you have updated your phone with the current ROMs and kernels your phone should be running GREAT
we need Samsung to download the source code for the fascinate
when that happens we will see new updates for the fascinate - take a look at the i9000 threads in xda - our fascinate phone is not DEAD
Not concerned at all. Our devs are the **** by the way!

So you're saying it's not worth a couple hundred bucks to be able to get a slightly higher Quad score?

Well i usually jump on new phones had the iphone 3g,iphone 3gs,droid eris,moto droid,droid x and now my fascinate but nothen coming out cept the galaxy s2 looks temping imo. The fascinate is just as good if not better because of the speed size and screen.
I have my ne2 upgrade..but I am perfectly happy with my fascinate with all the great work from our devs its become an amazing phone.
Besides I don't consider the T-bolt an upgrade at all. More like sideways instead of up. Will wait till something like the sgs 2 or a dual core htc
Sent from my fascination with voodoo
T bolt really is a very minor upgrade. It just doesn't seem worth burning an upgrade for when I already have a fascinate. I also fail to understand the iphone like levels of hype and fanboy-ism surrounding it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I was wondering. Should I switch from droid x to samsung fascinate? I've had the vibrant. I liked it. Just wondering if it's worth getting.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Having recently picked up a DX on craigslist just to see what all the hype is about, I can say that I think the Fascinate is the better phone. Also, I think dev wise we have the edge. Plus it's more comfortable to hold than the X. I haven't really played with gingerbread on the X though, but I'm hoping we'll have that fully working soon anyway.
Back on C-list for the X!
Fascinate is better. Camera is better, screen display is better, performance is better, battery life also better too

I personally like the fascinate better.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
After shopping for phones last year and comparing the two i picked the SF because it was thinner ( didnt have that buldge) and the screen was brighter and sharper.
I like the DX better, The fascinate might win spec wise, but the DX isn't Samsung so it will actually receive updates. I also the the DX has a better feel.

So the only 'pro' you gave was that the droid x receives updates? How does that make it better? lol.
I was wondering if it's worth 200. Some girl wants to sell it.

Check vzw.com for refurbished fascinates. Don't know if it required a new contract, etc. but it was 50 bucks or so.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I just traded my x for this fascinate. I like both, sf has a killer screen. Droid x is a beast I had ginger on it and it was way fast. I like trying new things. I personally think the battery life is better on the x. They are both great phones. As far as updates go. You can find many roms that will fit your needs thanks to our great devs!

Get the Fascinate ....I switched from a D2 (same as X but with a keyboard) cuz of the locked bootloader ...ROMs for the D2/X are ok ...but you're always gonna base them off Blur and never truly have a Vanilla rom ...plus the vibrant has a better display its super light compared to both batt life is amazing ....oh and another thing MiUi ^_^

My current gf's upgrade is due and she's elgible for the phone surprisingly! I was considerng dropping my sexy, gorgeous, fantastic, amazing epic 4g on her and taking off with the 4ton4g! I played around with it a bit yesterday at the sprint store and I literally jizzed in my briefs!(false story) I'm strongly considering taking it though! Has any one played around with it as of late? First impressions?

I have had it for 3 days and love it. But you should look in the photon 4g section, and read the forums there. That's where you will find the most info on it. And yes its a bad Mopho!

Eh, personally the underwhelming Tegra 2 and locked bootloader ruined it for me. If it had the OMAP 4430 like the rest of MOTOs new "Droids" I'd give it a try.

I don't know if I would call the phone 'ugly' but it's certainly different. The screen...well, no one can really compete with Sammy's screen, let's get real here. Locked bootloader = fail IMO. I know, I know, there's an update that supposed to come out and unlock it, but when? Has there been an actual announcement date on it?
I was seriously considering the Photon because of impatience with the SGSII, but knowing the bootloader is in fact locked, and with hope of Nexus 3 coming in a few months, I'm going to skip on the Photon personally.
I hope it's a rockin phone for those that get it, I just won't be one of them.
locked bootloader = fail
I literally just got mine in the mail the ups guy just knocked on the door I'm about to open it up now......gotta love working for a third party sprint dealer. Korey has it and loves it. Unfortunately only way to root right now is having the media dock which is 100 bones but I'll let you guys know tomorrow how I actually feel about the phone.
Gonna miss my keyboard but I'm going to keep my epic for dev/testing purposes.....
I don't know display is really pixelated and lock bootloader sux
I honestly could not buy it. My epic right now runs smoother. Just based on the reveiws the galaxy s2 is much better than the other duel core phones.
