We just mentioned a couple of days back that the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Fascinate, will be available for pre-order on Best Buy beginning August 29 and Best Buy seemingly hasn’t disappointed us and the Big Red Fascinate hopefuls as well. Fascinate is indeed available for in-store pre-oder which just confirms the belief that the release is ever so near.

The grapevine is that Verizon will not hold back the Fascinate availability after September 9 which means that the long wait is finally coming to an end. It will also be a personal landmark for Samsung as the Fascinate availability will imply that the four big US carriers are all selling the Samsung flagship Android handset.
