At the end of the day, unless you’re shopping for a new carrier as well as a new phone, the Mesmerize on US Cellular is by far their best Android phone, and there’s really no reason to switch to any other carrier if this phone piques your interest even by only a little. Throw out any Samsung horror stories and the fact that – on the brink of receiving Gingerbread – they have yet to deliver Froyo, and you still have one of the finest phones on the market, let alone the best on US Cellular.
And I personally believe you win even more if you’re already happy with US Cellular: their version of the Galaxy S really doesn’t smack you in the face with preinstalled software like the Fascinate does. Aside from their own-branded navigation, ringtones, contacts backup, and a help guide for new Android users, you’re getting as pure a Galaxy S phone that you can hope to get. And it doesn’t force you to use Bing.

Mesmerize (froyo) has the EXACT same architecture as the Fascinate, too bad this wasn't the good ol days of being able to flash another carriers firmware as I did with my Blackberry Storm

You do know that the article you are quoting was written back in November andthat the Mesmerize has an official build of Froyo from US Cellular, right?
What's the difference? I just love it when people spout off that don't have a clue. And I do wish you would stop this lie about Froyo not running on the Fascinate. There are literally thousands of people running Froyo on the Verizon Fascinate so it can and DOES work.
It is better to put your foot in your mouth and look like a fool, than to take it out and remove all doubt.
