Anyone know if Samsung will get Android 2.2 for the Fascinate?  And if it will be a free upgrade?

I bought my fascinate a week ago (Dec 4). The sales rep at the verizon store told me the new phones have Android 2.2 preloaded. I just checked my to reply to your question and discovered that I am running 2.1. When I scan for updates and new firmware, I am told there isn't any. So... I thought I knew the answer to your question and now I'm angry!

I returned my Fascinate.  I liked a lot of things about it but voice recognition was impossible and that is a basic function for me.

I had a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone.  On voice dialing it would miss about 1 or 2 in 10 calls.  I thought I would get a new phone and get better results.  But the Fascinate has been almost completely useless.  It misses 90%.  And it isn’t even close on recognition.  If there is any background noise (e.g. while in driving in the car) it can’t get anything right.

Maybe the next version of Android "Gingerbread" will be better.  They heavily advertise voice contro.  i hope it works.

The people at verizon wireless are full of sh!t.  We are going to be waiting while before Android 2.2.  And our phone probably wont be able to get 2.3 from what I read.

They are the same people that keep saying they're getting the iPhone.

I don't know about you, but I think the voice recognition feature is better than the SWIPE keyboard.  Usually 85-90% accurate.

Froyo is now rolling out in Canada. After the JK4 fiasco with the Bell Vibrants(i9000), it looked like all updates were on hold but Samsung started releasing JL3 on Dec. 22. So far, this release covers the Telus Fascinate(T959) as well as the Vibrants sold by Bell, SaskTel and Virgin Mobile. The only group still waiting are the Rogers customers who own the Captivate(i897).

The upgrade wasn`t announced until the 23rd. I stumbled across it when I fired up Kies around dinner time on the 22nd and there was a message saying that an upgrade was available. Figuring it was probably something small like the GPS fix, I went for it. Sure was a surprise to find 2.2 on my phone(Telus Fascinate) when it was finished upgrading. Searching online brought up no results about the release until the next day.

So far so good.
