As far the release goes... I think Verizon has a wait and see attitude to see if the phone is a success. Overall I think it will be and I think the same interval of time from the DINC to the X will be between the X and the Fascinate. It will definitely come to VZW just not as soon as we would like.
Well I'm not sure about that, but if there is THAT much of an interval, VZ will be losing lots of customers who want this phone to - let's see - ANY other carrier since customers will be able to get it on EVERY other carrier within a month.
It seems a really really poor decision if this is the case. An exclusive phone's release date can be maneuvered a bit by a company with little negative consequences. A phone like this, that is available
everywhere has a much greater risk of failing if not brought to market quick enough.
