Here's the deal. VZW reps get emails when os updates are released to VZW for the devices. More than likely 2.3 is being released for them to work with. We wont see 2.3 anytime soon.
PS VZW Rep told me a month ago that 2.2 is coming to Fascinate that day.....still holding my breath.
Sent via my Fascinate on the Droidforums app.
Owned D1, Incred, X, D2, and the Fascinate is the best.
Last I heard 2.2 for the Fascinate was a no-go. Moving straight to Gingerbread.
