They say in the north April showers bring May flowers well April brings nothing new to the Fascinate as I knew to be expected.

not show, i do have it, and imho its a great phone even with 2.1, if there was something in 2.2 i needed i would have it on there.
I dont have a problem with Bing anyways I use it and no problems, I think it's just a hype for people wanting google. I have yahoo search engine as default for computer and always use it and have google right there

Whether you have a major problem with Bing or not is not the issue. I am merely speculating that the delay in issuing Froyo is due to A) the time it takes to code, program and test locking down the Fascinate with Bing on the new OS or B) Verizon waiting for the exclusive contract with Microsoft to expire.
All of the Galaxy S devices sold by US carriers (except for the ones locked to Bing) have Froyo. Is Bing the reason for the delay? It just might be that the Fascinate/Continuum were the last US Galaxy phones released so naturally they are the last to get Froyo. I hope so but my internal conspiracy theory points to the contract with MS.

Moto and HTC have no trouble getting updates to their Verizon devices. It's Samsung. And, either they didn't want to push out updates to spur sales of new handsets, or they're just plain incompetent.
Actually, it is not being pushed out yet for the Droid X . Not yet, at least..

I have nothing to rethink because there is a difference and thats why Froyo wont work on Fascinate
What's the difference? I just love it when people spout off that don't have a clue. And I do wish you would stop this lie about Froyo not running on the Fascinate. There are literally thousands of people running Froyo on the Verizon Fascinate so it can and DOES work.
It is better to put your foot in your mouth and look like a fool, than to take it out and remove all doubt.
At the end of the day, unless you’re shopping for a new carrier as well as a new phone, the Mesmerize on US Cellular is by far their best Android phone, and there’s really no reason to switch to any other carrier if this phone piques your interest even by only a little. Throw out any Samsung horror stories and the fact that – on the brink of receiving Gingerbread – they have yet to deliver Froyo, and you still have one of the finest phones on the market, let alone the best on US Cellular.
And I personally believe you win even more if you’re already happy with US Cellular: their version of the Galaxy S really doesn’t smack you in the face with preinstalled software like the Fascinate does. Aside from their own-branded navigation, ringtones, contacts backup, and a help guide for new Android users, you’re getting as pure a Galaxy S phone that you can hope to get. And it doesn’t force you to use Bing.

You do know that the article you are quoting was written back in November andthat the Mesmerize has an official build of Froyo from US Cellular, right?
