Update:
Verizon gets official with the press release on the Fascinate and will begin offering it online on the 8th and in Verizon retailers on the 9th.  Of course it will be priced at $199.99 after $100 mail-in rebate.

Anyone with a sharp eye may have noticed this on the latest Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate release date seen in the picture above.  Mark your calendars for September 9th as the official release date just as BGR shown previously.   Being the last Galaxy variant to the party provides the Fascinate with a difference to its GSM counterparts with a LED flash for the 5MP camera.   We should expect to see more press coming to the pipeline in the next few days.   The commercial is below the break for all to see.
