Verizon Wireless announced it will offer a version of Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone to be called the Samsung Fascinate this summer, joining several other carriers who announced support for Samsung’s top-of-the-line Android phone over the past few days.
Samsung’s Galaxy S, with a 4-inch AMOLED multi-touch display, WiFi and 5 MP camera will be called the Captivate on AT&T, Vibrant on T-Mobile and Epic 4G on Sprint.
Verizon’s version will have 3G mobile hotspot capabilities for up to five WiFi devices and it will ship with a 16 GB microSD card. No word on an exact release date or pricing.
Other Fascinate features include Android 2.1, stereo Bluetooth, GPS, V Cast Music with Rhapsody and 2GB internal memory expandable to 32 GB.
T-Mobile begins selling the Samsung Vibrant July 21, for $199 with a two-year contract. Pre-orders start July 1 at RadioShack stores only, and you get a $50 gift card after the purchase. T-Mobile is sweetening the deal with a 2GB microSD card pre-loaded with Avatar (movie) and The Sims 3 (game). Additional perks include a 30-day free trial of MobiTV, said PCWorld.
Sprint’s Epic 4G will be the second Sprint phone with 4G capability (offering speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G). The device gets a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a front-facing VGA camera.
