Hey all
Someone gave me a Verizon Galaxy S. Is this a fascinate??
Anyway, I'm in the UK and this thing is CDMA :-( Any suggestions of what to do with it?
Yes it is. I would root it and unlock it if possible. The i would install a custom kernel and rom.
Btw i have a tmobile galaxy s, but the things you can do should be the same.

How do you guys know it's a fascinate from that small amount of info? There are a lot of Galaxy S variants.

Because he said "Verizon Galaxy S" , so it must Fascinate
For OP : I live in Southeast Asia and im using Fascinate, just unlock the device and then inject with my local carrier (CDMA for sure), voice, sms, and data work perfectly.
Woah, Wait up guys, you seem to have forgotten something!
The Fascinate is not the only Galaxy S phone on Verizon! The Samsung Continuum (Crappy in comparison, no AMOLED) is also labeled as a Galaxy S!
OP, take off the back cover and take out the battery and tell us what is says for model, if it says SGH-i500 it's a Fascinate.

Well if you're waiting for the SGSII, give it a bit. The one that has AT&T bands just went through the FCC only yesterday (March 11th to me). There is a post about it on pocketnow.com. I'm thinking it's actually the one for Bell Canada some the model is the GT-I9100. The ones for the US should be here in a bit.

Anything but the 5250 processor, non-removeable battery, no microSD card. There, that should start off what they could screw up.
If they check those off on this phone, I'm getting it, without question.

What do you mean by this? The only thing about the One X better than the Evo 4G LTE is the processor. Everything else about the E4GLTE is on par, if not better than the One X.

From what I heard, Sprint and Big Red have an advantage thanks to their CDMA networks. Korean networks run on CDMA LTE, so...with a bit of tweaking from Samsung, we could *possibly* have the quadcore GS3 on Sprint
As for AT&T and T-MO, their networks are more complex to support as they have a GSM HSPA+/LTE and what not, something that isn't yet implemented and supported by the Exynos chip, or the Tegra 3 chip for that matter.
So in theory, we *MIGHT* get lucky with the Exynos. Again tho, take it with HALF a grain of salt

Odin is the program you need to use with Samsung devices to root and flash different modems and what not. i gotta admit, sometimes it is better than flashing a PD15IMG.zip but still...what if i'm nowhere near a computer?

if i'm ever going to get the Galaxy, i'm definitely going to get the International version. hate how the U.S carriers screw them up and such... ruins the whole point... i have an international version of the Original Galaxy S, GT-i9000, and if it weren't for it being international... i'm not sure how i can stand it lol. International ftw!
Yeah.im leaning towards internat versions for next major purchase.but if the note or sgs3 or the onex comes to Tmobile,then thats good enough for me for the next 2yrs.

Really? An unreleased phone still doesn't have source? Do we need to dig up the captain obvious award? Who cares? I was happy for the GSIII community as a whole, no matter what carrier. Are you unable to see without your ATT fanboy goggles? Grow up. At least Verizon customers aren't trying to figure out how to cheat the system to get slower internet to save a couple bucks a month. I cant believe you actually went there.
