Did the mesmerize just receive 2.2 today? http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PRO... or is this old. Theres a date at the top that says 23-03-2011, how similar is this to our phone? do any of you think this means its getting closer?

You are correct the Mesmerize is getting froyo 2.2. Here is a link to an article on Android Central:

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-22-froyo-samsung-mesmerize-now-available-us-cellular

Not sure how close it is to the fascinate. As far as the fascinate getting froyo soon or if at all, only samsung and vzw knows for sure. When a much smaller company like U.S. Cellular can get froyo out before the giant vzw it makes vzw look puny! I've heard of companies being too big to fail but samsung and vzw may be too big to succeed!

The Mesmerize is a cdma SCH-i500 like the Fascinate with no Bing.

So Basically its just a renamed fasinate **bleep**!?! Verizon is completely pathetic!!

Pretty much.  And it was released a full month after the Fascinate. lol

So Basically its just a renamed fascinate **bleep**!?! Verizon is completely pathetic!! The fascinate was out before this phone now there getting the update before us Verizon come on???????????????????????????Now more Samsung phones are going to become available do you think imam going to buy them not!Upgrade this or ill be jumping ship here real gooses imam mad real mad..

[mdram4x4]

maybe us didnt require all the **bleep** software that vzw does, therefore it was easier

now that they have it working on basically the same model, they may just be tweeking all the vzw stuff

aaaahhh if only vzw would get a vanilla phone

The goog thing is that this is like christmas for the developers and dental students as the source code has been released and can fill in a lot of gray areas.  Doesn't really help the average user though.

  and what's too funny, is something that someone in one of the other threads pointed out, that as soon as you get Froyo, you will be wanting Gingerbread.. There is a Mesmerize user "scooterbaga" that, less than 1 hour after this person was notified of the Froyo update was asking Samsung "Is there any word on a Gingerbread for the Mesmerize?"...

I had the same thoughts,  perhaps using this code as the basis for a fascinate without the bing.  Oh what a delightful thought, 2.2 and no bing.
