@justintime: you actually CAN make Goole the default search on the fascinate! It's very easy and takes less than 5 minutes. I haven't used Bing since the first day I got my Fascinate.

For voice search. I know you can set as your home page on the Internet but how do you switch voice search.

I followed the instructions posted here: Here's your Verizon Fascinate Google search fix (update with even more fixed) | Android Central

worked like a charm for me. and no rooting was necessary either.

Well I was at a verizon store and asked if the update was going to be this month and they said it will be next because of the droid x is going now.

going now? I don't know what that means, but a buddy's Droid X was updated to 2.3 this week. He was pissed because it was rooted before. No biggie do, rerooted in no time. If the Fascinate isn't updated by end of next week, i'm going to have to root mine.

Yea he said that it would not be done tell the end of this month on all of the dx so they won't start sending out the update for the galaxy s tell dec. But again that was just a guy at a small store in southwest Va.

I can't imagine that is the case....that they are waiting to do fascinate because of the X. That logic fails due to the fact they are rolling out DInc updates as well. It'll get here when it gets here.

I know that's what I was thinking but this guy was acting like he knew everything. I just wanted to pass on what I heard. I so hope that the update comes soon.

I've been wondering about this as well. I want to use a custom Tom but not before we get 2.2. Vzw really needs to start rolling out 2.2 if they want to keep control of the updates.

Why do people root their phones? What advantages do you receive from doing it?

I have wondered the same too.

Hey how that work out do you now have google
as default?

I just bought this phone for my wife (fascinate). I cannot believe that it is still running 2.1. It has alot of connectivity issues. I hope this issue is resolved with 2.2

I would recommend doing some reading in regards to rooting. It basically allows you the freedom to almost whatever you want with your phone. Customize the entire theme, overclock processor, remove vzw bloatware, fix any lag. Its the reason there is such a massive community dedicated to improving what Google has given us. Hence the concept of open source code.

One would almost argue that Google encourages it. The manufacturers, well, that's another story completely as they have been moving to try and "lock down" the open source and lock you in to the software they want you to use, hence defeating the purpose of what Google is trying to do. Its an interesting dichotomy, but I digress...

If you are thinking of rooting, personally I would wait until 2.2 is out.
