I received a Google Alert a few minutes ago citing today's twitter announcment from someone at Samsung regarding their effort to get Froyo ready for all Galaxy phones. The link is: Samsung USA (Samsungtweets) on Twitter
Where's Froyo for the Fascinate?

Nice. At least they are acknowledging it and are working on it. Must have heard our complaints
It's about time they atleast acknowledge Froyo in the U.S. It's too bad the carriers (Verizon Especially) aren't doing the same.
What I don't get is a Samsung phone with froyo is coming to Verizon. Are they going to have a nexus s type phone running froyo? I'm guessing that mystery Samsung phone is going to be very similar to the fascinate but maybe with a keyboard or something.
Finally at least an acknowledgment that it's being worked on. I'm pretty sure the lack of communication from VZW or Samsung is what has so many people wound up. I can be a lot more patient (as I'm sure most would) if they at least keep us informed of the status on the update.

The GalaxySSupport twitter account has been blasting the same statements for the last 2 days. Canned response from Samsung.

I don't understand we people are blaming Verizon? They sell the phone. Samsung is the "maker" so go over to Samsungs website and log in and start complaining to them.
Verizon is a distributer. Software and upgrades come from Samsung. Pretty simple. Go to the sourse!!!

VZW has to test/approve the update however. I'm sure Froyo runs great on a stock Galaxy S phone with no carrier firmware/software loaded on it. Even Gingerbread is running on the Nexus S. For all we know, Samsung has frozen their code weeks ago, and is waiting for Verizon to do their part; which is to bloat up the device with apps we'll never use.
me too. i would swap it for another phone that gets regular support but i like the hard ware, the screen looks the best out of all the phones i looked at, and most of all it was a birthday gift from my wife. so i am keeping it for a good 2 years because i dont have to tell my amazing wife that this phone gets like zero support. oh well its still a pretty great phone.
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love this phone, its amazing, its faster than my Droid X ever was with 2.2 so I'm not that woried about it, but I think I just want Cyanogenmod more than anything.
i keep hearing about this mod. this is my first android, so no experiance with other phones. what is so special about Cyanogenmod? and yes i do love my phone. it is the best phone i have had.
Received another Google Alert this morning regarding the latest on Froyo for the Samsung Fascinate. The link is: Android 2.2 Froyo Coming for Samsung Galaxy S series Smartphones | Techno Trick
I just did a search for "Samsungtweets" over on twitter... I would say around 95% of people tweeting at them are complaining about the lack of upgrade support. So assuming someone who works for Samsung actually manages that account, I think they understand that people are pissed.. haha
