Best Buy has announced that they have started pre-orders on the Verizon Wireless Fascinate. They started taking pre-orders on Sunday, This pre-order will be open for general public but Best Buy Reward Zone members had the privileges to pre-order theirs from the 27th, any they will be getting their devices before the others that pre-ordered.

They have not released any pricing details on the device, so we can’t really compare prices with the T-Mobile Vibrant or the AT&T Captivate. However I know Verizon’s Subscribers will appreciate the 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, 5MP camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and all the other great features that Verizon’s Version of the Galaxy S has to offer.

Verizon Wireless today announced that they will start offering the Samsung Gusto Flip Phone to its subscribers nationwide, the new handset comes with specifications including VGA camera, VZ Navigator, Bluetooth, a 1000mAh battery, and support for email, text, and picture messaging.

From the specs listed, I would say it is pretty much entry-level and the price even says more at only $19.99 with a service agreement and after a $50 mail-in-rebate, or if you love freebies, order it online and it won’t cost you a cent.
