The Tab is a great device when wi-fi works (I have a sporadic wifi issue others seem to face as well). I have the unlocked international version. I travel a bit for work, so this comes in handy. When in London a few weeks ago, popped in a local Tmobile store, purchased a sim card and got...

what happens to the cell phone service on a factory reset? Does it remain activated or do you need to go back to Verizon to activate service again?

I've also switched from SF to DX and I've been happy so far. I have to think these are the best two Android phones right now, and I get to play with both as my wife still has her SF. :-)

The screen is sweet. I watched videos on my SF and they had a great HD quality about them; am watching them now on my DX and it just seems a little flat. Not bad at all, but certainly comes in second on a side-by-side comparison. Oh well, no phone is perfect...

My wife and I both got SFs from the BOGO offer. I recently exchanged mine for a Droid X because of the side tone issue. My wife's SF really didn't exhibit the issue to the same extent, if at all. So my wife is happy with her SF and I'm happy with my DX.

I've read this thread, and quite a few like this, about the pros and cons of the Samsung Fascinate. My wife and I bought two via the BOGO offer. I just exchanged mine for the Droid X. I came to peace with Bing (got around that), I believe there will be a fix for the GPS issue (mine doesn't...

I think this depends on the mail program you are using, but I use K-9. I bring up K-9, Menu->More->Settings->Account. Under Account, you should see an option like 'When I Delete A Message', there are a few options like: 'Do Not Delete on Server', 'Delete from Server', 'Mark As Read on Server'...

I have been on this forum lurking the DX vs SF debate (both here and in the SF forums), coming up to my 30 day limit. Yesterday, I made my decision: I swapped the SF for a DX. I was going back and forth between the two: form factor and vibrant screen of the SF, vs the working GPS and better...

This is great! I came from an iphone and you moved the cursor by tapping in the right location, something I tried to do with my fascinate but never worked well. This is a great tip! cheers!

I have trouble getting gps lock, but after I DL'd the GPS status app and reset the gps cache, I get lock pretty quikly. I used it for fun tonight to drive home (10 miles) va Google navigation. It was spot as far as what road I was on.

I keep seeing this 'lag fix' on posts. What is that? thx :confused:

If phone quality is your most important criteria, then the X may be better as I hear it is quite good. I want a pda that I can make calls on. So the camera is important to me.

thanks, will give that a try. like packerbacker, I do like the buddies widget that comes with the TouchWiz interface, but I'm using Launcher Pro so i can get google search. Any recommended people widgets out there? thx

You guys are making me reconsider. Went to the store and used the Fascinate camera to take pics of some of the merchandise. Have to say, the camera is pretty sharp. But I find the amoled screen a bit too saturated for my taste (I'm into photography) and while pleasing at first look, it does...

I currently have the Fascinate (about 2 weeks) and am getting frustrated by the work arounds to get google apps (search and places) to work on this phone. I'm seriously tempted to switch to the Droid X - slightly bigger screen, I think is sharper for text (I surf a lot on my way home from...
