http://www.wirefly.com - This is a speed test between the Samsung Fascinate and the HTC Droid Incredible, both 3G phones on the Verizon network. Both phones use Android 2.x as the operating system, but clearly come out the box with different settings for video display. For more information on these phones, check out http://www.wirefly.com.

How the joystick on the incredible?

[wirefly]

@Gmod10man The joystick worked well for me when I had to navigate around a form with various fields. Otherwise, I prefer a touchscreen for navigation. However, different people have different preferences in this regard... your best bet is to try it and see if it works with your style.

Harsh comments so far. I liked this review. A little rough, but after a few reviews I'm sure things will be much smoother.

@VenerableEvil Thanks for the encouragement!

What happen to artie? I think he did much better reviews and speed tests :/ this guy just isn't as interesting.

@rikuna Sadly, this is Ari's last week at Wirefly. We will all miss him, but will continue to do videos in the style that Ari pioneered.

Great job on the review Bob. I think I am hearing a bit of resentment out here from people who spent a lot of money on an IPhone that has been stuck on the worst network in history. There are many video comparisons of these to phones including the Quadrant tests. and the Fascinate is just faster at both loading identical web pages and you tube videos . The resolution is a little better on the IPhone but the Super AMOLED is more vibrant and shows true black not grey. Fully customizable too.

You know, to do a completely fair speed test of the *phones themselves, not the 3G speed, you should probably connect to wifi to establish an even connection.
