Actually it is Samsung that get the Blame!! Samsung supplies the updates for their phones. If the updates are not up to standards of Verizon. Verizon rejects it. At first Samsung said they was not going to update the Fascinate then after the feed back from the phone owners and Verizon they reneged and offered a sub pare update in which got rejected by Verizon. When they came with a good one that got accepted by Verizon then the Fascinate got Fro-yo... They have always been the last to give updates if they give updates at all.
Right... Look at the Droid X GB update. It sucked terribly. So you can't say that Verizon really cares, other than the fact that it has tethering detection built in.
