Brand new owner!

I just picked up my new Fascinate this past Friday at Best Buy under their "free phone Friday" program. I am coming from a Blackberry 8530 Curve phone from a diff. phone carrier to Verizon and Android for the first time. This phone makes the Blackberry appear totally "primitive!!!!" LOL!!!! I have to say the screen is just stunning and makes pictures literally "come to life!" While I am still learning to use it and reading this forum - I have no plans to root it. I am a huge "Google power user" but the Bing integration on this phone does not bother me. I just go the browser and added Google as a bookmark and that's it - no messy "software surgery."
So far I really love the Android system and can't wait to discover what else this phone can do!!!!

Welcome and congrats on the new Fascinate. The phone is awesome! These forums are full of very knowledgeable users who give a ton of great advise. Do a ton of reading and don’t be shy on asking questions. The Fascinate is a great device so enjoy!

I think you're going to come away from this loving the phone! I'm too from a BB.

Thanks all! Since I got this phone, I haven't been on my home computer since Friday - this phone almost does it all and then some! I can just imagine how amazing Samsung Galaxy Tablet will be like!

I came from a BB...I do miss a few features...but I love the Fascinate.

So far what I do miss from the BB is its "auto spell check" feature for everything from IM to texts to emails and its excellent "tactile" QWERTY non virtual keyboard - I guess they are things I am still getting used to but this Fascinate phone IS simply amazing!!!!
