Looks like all those rumors for a Thursday launch of the Samsung Fascinate are holding water now. The TV commercial below that was airing in the past with "coming soon", has now changed course with an official due date subtitle, as caught on a screenshot.
"Available Sept. 9 at Verizon" brings music to our ears, so we can finally put to rest the anticipation. We can't wait to pit the DROID X against it, in the most Fascinate-ing Android battle to date.
UPDATE: Verizon and Samsung have officially confirmed the launch now. The Fascinate will be available tomorrow to order online, and from Thursday onwards you will be able to find it in stores. The price is set at $199 on a two-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate. Whew, finally an end of the release date saga!
