Why is this phone given such horrible reviews?

Does anyone know why using launcherpro with the Google search bar widget when I type in what I wanna search it opens my browser (dolphin HD) and then shows my results through bing.... wtf??

OMG DROID IS THE BESTEREST !!@OJFKSDF.

You do realize you are comparing a max overclocked D1 to a stock phone right? Just so you know....

Apparently you have not tested these phones side by side, the D1 is garbage compared to this phone in every aspect. " but bro check out my quadrants~!!!!!" They mean $hit when it comes down to actual daily driving these phones. My D1 was over clocked to 1.25 ghz and it still did not touch the fascinate in completely stock form.

These NEW phones that are coming out wont be much better until they can figure out the battery issues ( as in batter technology is quite on par with processors )

So have fun with your slow/heavy/ugly/small screen/crappy keyboard/moto crap phone :)

Couldn't have said it better myself...bravo man +1

UNC is just scared that another company other than mototurd can make a great phone. Yes verizon did some shady things with it ( as it will continue to do with more phones) But over all this phone is the jam :icon_ banana:


Do you have a rom flashed on yours or just rooted?

Just rooted,lagfix,overclocked, de-binged :)

Isn't lagfix a rom or did I misunderstand what that is ?

Lagfix, Galaxy S Lagfix that work | Project Voodoo, Galaxy S improvements Not a rom , This explains it best as i'm not a dev lol

Haha screw that. Thought using launcherpro and the Google bar would have solved that !!!

You have to be weary of any review of any product nowadays regardless if it is a cellphone or automobile. Why? It is because there is almost always a vested interest somehow.

The best thing to do to find out about any given product is to listen to anecdotal feedback from real users.

I believe the facinate is a far superior device to the Droid X. The only thing about the Droid X that is better is the .3 inches of extra display real estate.

The fascinate has a better CPU, better picture and A LOT BETTER GPU!

I explained why professional reviewers with their reputation on the line gave the Galaxy S "bad" reviews.... if you don't like it, tough titie.

They all lauded the DX because it actually adds something new... like I said, the Galaxy is not ENOUGH better than devices that are one year old to be given good reviews.

Now enjoy your iPhone knockoff! I'll just wait for the real thing.

Why would I be scared, I don't have stock in Motorola, I also have an Incredible (which is HTC)... and I'm getting the vPhone with my upgrade when it releases.

You guys want to know why the reviews are bad until you are told, then you sing "lalala" and cover your ears.
 
Then you must think the same thing about the dx,d2,dpro,merge,g2 and the other phones that have come out in the same time frame. Non of them sport the mythical 2ghz or whatever specs you believe make
that particular phone "the next best
thing" ... the fact of the matter is you hate Bing. Which is acceptible. The Droid x is a good phone but it too is not perfect and is not the top dog when it comes to hardware.

I love the sleekness of iPhones lol. Go ahead and hold a dx in one hand and the fascinate in the other. Those rounded edges make it soo much better to hold. I really wanted to like my dx's I just had too many problems. And after comparing side by side my x and my girlfriends fascinate I knew what I wanted.

There is nothing wrong with a phone that stomps alll (currently) in performance.

Wait could you just quickly sum up the reasons you don't like the galaxy s series?

What...like the washed out wvga screen? Or what about motoblur? Or maybe it's the constant random reboots? Or maybe the camera that is worse than pretty much anything out there..


Fascinate has the fastest gpu and cpu out of any phone currently out, has a NEW screen technology and doesn't use the same old wvga, and has a camera that's actually worth using.
 
Lol ok kid... I'm done here...enjoy your paper weight...

Don't let facts get in the way of opinion.......
My phone is a year old and on par with your (relatively) new phone, will the Galaxy S be on par with the new $600 phones a year after release? I highly doubt it.

Hell the MT3G came out a few MONTHS before the Droid and the Droid destroys it on every benchmark, literally doubling/tripling it. The Galaxy S isn't enough better than a year old device to warrant better reviews. PERIOD.

Wow! Really? Since when was the Droid a slow/heavy/ugly/small screen/crappy keyboard/moto crap phone?? Isnt this the phone that made Android popular? The first phone that went directly against the iphone? The Droid is still an amazing phone and still will be for atleast another year. This phone has a LARGE community. What about your samsung? Ohhh you guys get a small subforum. The Droid is great because it's overclockable/has tons of roms/and has stock android *****ty touchwiz FTL*. And i'd rather have a phone that's made well and has a nice heft to it than a crappily made samsung phone that has literally no weight. And the thing that really will make the fascinate bad? It's still on 2.1 when Gingerbread is coming out in november.. I wouldn't be suprised if the fascinate doesn't get gingerbread. Maybe it will in summer but it's doubtful.

What i'm trying to say is that the droid isn't at all what you said. The Fascinate is a great phone too but i can also say that it's a piece of sh*t.

uh oh... I'm starting to hurt peoples feelings lol...Yes the droid started it all ( thats how I got into it). I had the droid 1 and I loved it. But compared to the fascinate it is nothing but that.

Yes we have a gazzzziiillion roms for the D1 and thats great but you can only rework the same roms over so many times. I used bugless beast and LFY. But thats the only reason that phone has kept its pep, Stock it is terribly slow ( now that is haha)

This is my first sammy phone and even though it doesn't have the crazy froyo's on it, it still serves its purpose just fine. Samsung is being pretty slow in this area. But hopefully they aren't pulling a Motorola and pushing out a sh!tty half baked 2.2 like they did for the DX.

And we have a small section because they aren't branding this phone as a DROID. Which is their current bread and butter for the smartphone category. You know where they put the Fascinate? Yeah right next to the god damn Blacksh1ttys !!!! You moto fan boys wouldn't hate this phone so much if it had DROID written all over it, Simple as that. And bing lol

Droid 1 faults:
keyboard - Although I got used to it it was still uncomfortable
Camera - Go take a Picture
Screen- is just a tad too small, it was too long and not wide enough
Speaker - mine started crackling in the first couple of months.
Wifi- I don't want to explain it all but I had problems lol

I did love my droid and the more I think about it I miss it hahaha... But Samsung has made an awesome phone and its truly a shame they don't give it the software ( no bing) and the props it deserves.
