CNET’s review on the Fascinate’s touchscreen:

On the front of the device, you’ll find the same 4-inch Super AMOLED touch screen that graces the rest of the Galaxy S series, and like the others, the Fascinate’s display is gorgeous. The screen’s sharpness and pinch-to-zoom support make it easy to read text, and it also displays deep and rich colors, such that the multimedia experience is particularly wonderful. Also great is the fact that you can see the screen even in bright sunlight.

Engadget on the Samsung Fascinate’s build:

In our hands, 4-inches feels like the perfect size for this type of phone; the device feels considerably smaller than something like the Evo, but is more comfortable to type on than the Incredible or iPhone.

And Slashgear on the call quality provided by the Samsung Fascinate on Verizon’s network:

Verizon has a strong reputation for superlative call and data performance, and the Samsung Fascinate is certainly a best-of-breed when it comes to taking advantage of that. Voice calls were crisp and clear, while the speakerphone manages to be both loud and precise.

The Samsung Fascinate delivers for those looking for strong battery life. Amazon’s Samsung Fascinate page says that the device is capable of 7 hours talk time and 13 days standby time. Slashgear’s tests showed a that the Fascinate was capable of “around 14 hours and 25 minutes of mixed usage: that includes web browsing, Exchange push-email turned on, periodic checking of three Gmail accounts and some multimedia.”
