Are you getting the Samsung Galaxy Note?

So Samsung has started accepting online reservations of the Galaxy Note earlier today. Samsung is only releasing 300 units for its first shipments (you can make the online pre-order here ).

The Galaxy Note is Samsung attempt to introduce a hybrid device, a market that Dell tried and failed to penetrate with its earlier Dell Streak 5. You can read out first impressions of the Galaxy Note here. Read the complete details of the pre-order mechanics here.

So our question is — are you getting the Samsung Galaxy Note?

    luckily i reserved a unit (yung sa promo ng Samsung at Smart) plan 2000, a customer service rep called me free daw yung 1 month subscription and i get a freebie daw worth 1,450 (dunno, must be a protective case of some sort)… its nice and all but i think the local smart centers doesn’t have any idea watsoever of what i’m talking about) btw, i’m from Legazpi City

      Smart reps called me twice that I can get ung pinareserve ko na galaxy note last Nov 26 and starting Dec 1-15 daw (went last dec 2 to smart sm cebu), on my 2 visits sales rep told me that they have not receive any galaxy note as per checking their inventory. My application has been approved daw already but ung unit na lang ang kulang. I’ll just cancel my application if wala pa rin this saturday, I’ve been waiting since Nov 26 and I can see the galaxy note on display in almost all cp shops in ayala and sm cebu but its forever for smart to get the units to their centers in the country, sila pa naman ang official telecom carrier tsk tsk tsk!!! Too bad.

Globe should have carried this instead!

    Naka reserve ako but the problem is nasa davao city area ako sa mandaluyong pala ang event. Pano kaya to?

  22. Avatar for glen glen says:

    no and no way! A phone is small and pocketable. A tablet is big for easier reading. This is not in both criteria and for a ridiculous price. Dual core smartphone + 10 inch dual core tablet price = galaxy note price.

    Another why not: Smartphones and tablets are already quad core and running ice cream sandwich.

  23. Avatar for poobear poobear says:

    the galaxy note cost 34000..im not getting it coz tegra 3 is already coming out next year soo better wait for the HTC Edge.

    Just want to know if this initial online offer is for the first batch of release for advanced buyers, when do you think the release of this phone will be the general customers in various samsung retailers?

  38. Avatar for Jethro Jethro says:

    Hey Mr. Yuga will you please review the Galaxy S Wifi 5.0? I am kinda more interested in that one since I wan’t smartphone Capabilities and already have a phone that is not one, won’t the 5.0 be a very good compromise? rather than buying a smartphone?

    No. 5″ size is too shy for being a tablet and too outrageous for being a phone.
