This is almost too good to be true! (I almost made a puddle at my desk.) Some of the devs over at XDA have a semi-working port of CM7 on the Fascinate. That's GINGERBREAD, boys & girls!! Hit the link for details:
CyanogenMod 7 port now up and running on the Samsung Fascinate -- sort of | Android Central
EDIT1: Never mind. I got prematurely excited. The article didn't mention that this is Punk Kaos's port that we've known about for quite a while. But ... it's still a Gingerbread port, and that's something to be excited about.
EDIT2: Keep in mind that this is still an alpha build. Don't flash this unless you're very, very brave (which I am not).
