We’ve seen all the leaks that suggested, one by one, that every major U.S. carrier will have the new Samsung phablet in stock this year. Add to that regional carrier U.S. Cellular and you end up with five mobile operators to choose from this holiday quarter when buying the new Galaxy Note 2.
Samsung confirmed today that five carriers – the Big Four and U.S. Cellular – will have the handset in stock by mid-November. Then again, the company did say in the recent past that the handset will hit U.S. stores by the end of the year. Mid-November sounds even better, especially compared to the original Galaxy Note that was released in the States more than three months after having been announced.
However, the company failed to announce actual release dates for each carrier, so we’ll just have to wait for them to make their own Galaxy Note 2 specific announcements in the following weeks/months.
A few days ago, we heard that AT&T could launch the device on October 21, or around the same time international carriers will release it, which would be a very laudable accomplishment for Samsung. Just like with previous flagship devices, the company is probably interested to launch the Galaxy Note 2 simultaneously in as many markets as possible, and it would be a nice change of pace to see U.S. and European carriers release the same device around the same time.
But AT&T is yet to confirm that particular launch date.
Moving on to Sprint, who also made it official today that it will indeed have the handset in stock at a later date this year, the carrier does remind us that it will offer Galaxy Note 2 buyers unlimited 4G LTE data plans, one reason to choose the nation’s third largest carrier as your phablet provider.
U.S. Cellular announced today that the 16GB Galaxy Note 2 will be available in its stores starting with late October, for $299.99 after an instant $100 rebate. Obviously that’s the on-contract price, so a two-year agreement is still required. The good news is that online pre-orders start today!
We’ll be back with more specific Galaxy Note 2 availability information about each U.S. mobile operator once we have them.
Meanwhile, let us know what carrier you’ll buy the Galaxy Note 2 from, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or U.S. Cellular?
