Yea I really hate that there are so many derivatives for the Galaxy S. Makes for a pain to root. One click root didn't work for you?
Superoneclick doesn't work. It freezes and crashes after step 6. I have looked at the actual '1-click root'...and it says my device isn't supported. Not sure if I should risk it, as I don't exactly want to brick it.

A bit more complicated to figure out but I finally got it working. The reason I got certification errors was because after 2.2 android somehow locked you out from loading unsigned files. And since the update files I was loading onto my phone weren't signed, it didn't work.
So I just loaded a kernel that went back to 2.1.....used it to root, and used Odin to go back to my original kernel. Now I'm rooted.
Flashed Clockwork Recovery, and now I'm downloading the CM7.1 file for the Galaxy Vibrant on T-Mobile, which I assume should work with the Galaxy S Fascinate 3G+ as they are literally the same.
Just so I'm clear, is the only knock on the Galaxy S being that it "feels" cheap?
FYI, I'm a clumsy phone dropper.
Galaxy S may be a little cheap feeling but SII definitely feels better. You might want to watch the video below before you make your decision if you tend to drop your phone from time to time

i prefer the GS2's feel over my friends iphones. it's thinner and lighter, but still feels very solid and the chrome ring around the front makes it look very sharp. i had more than a few people at work look at my phone when i first got it, wondering what it was. a couple were even tempted to make the switch after playing with it for a bit
Having been an iOS user for the past 4 years and toying around with Android and WP7, I am still of the opinion that iOS provides the best user experience, followed by WP7, then android.
For me, I just can't get over the sluggishness I feel Android has whenever I use our Android phones. Some of our devices are dual core, so why oh why is it still so sluggish? It's just not fluid for me.
WP7 is fantastic in that regard, but boy do they need to pick up their socks and get some traction. It's hilarious that there are so many .NET developers out there that would be able to write some amazing apps for that platform, but it's just so pathetic when it comes to market share that it's not worth the effort.

GS2 feels right in my hands - I don't like the feel of the iphone, it feels bulky and heavy compared to the GS2. Combined with the smaller screen size of the iphone, I'd much rather have the GS2.
The GS2 is incredibly fast, and customizable. Root it if you'd like, or keep it as it is; the phone supports sideloading.

I don't like having my phone in a case.

Making 1000 paper cranes.
Being certifiably mental.
Is that a formal proof, been a while since I took my logic classes?
*Disclaimer: Cranes are so much cooler than the rocks my wife and I gave out, but don't tell Mrs Rathji

Never used wp7, so can't comment. I do have an iPad and iPod touch as well as an old droid incredible. I am not seeing the sluggishness you refer to at all in the android. My take is for doing the most basic things, iOS is a little easier. But to do anything beyond that in ios is a pita, if it can do it all. Things like having a back button, menu button make android a lot quicker to get around. Also the iOS keyboard feels so antiquated when compared to the android options available.

that's why i never even considered an iphone, having only 1 home button on the phone seems so antiquated, about as silly as a 1 button mouse
