After seeing Big Red dish up two exciting high-end Android smartphones this summer, both launching approximately one month apart, some believed it to cause the carrier to push back the launch of the Samsung Fascinate. Both AT&T and T-Mobile rolled out their versions right from the gate, with Sprint on the verge of releasing the Samsung Epic 4G, but Verizon has been tight lipped regarding the launch of their Samsung Galaxy S variant. According to some information gathered from a screen shot from one of Verizon's internal systems, it display the SCH-I500 and leads to the speculation that the handset will be making its appearance some time in early September. It appears as though Big Red is in the process of taking shipments of the handset into their distribution warehouses. Additionally, the time frame seems more fitting since the MTV Music Awards is officially being sponsored by the “Samsung Fascinate a Galaxy S phone” and “Verizon Wireless.” Of course, the big event is slated to occur on September 12th, so that would provide more credence to the rumors of a September launch. Being the last might have its drawbacks, especially when the Fascinate is following up after the mammoth packing Samsung Epic 4G.
