UPDATE (2nd Nov 2011)
===================
Samsung Galaxy Note launched in India with a MRP. of Rs.34990/- and will be available everywhere within a weeks time starting today. Also the first 100,000 units will come with a free complimentary leather case worth 2200/-.
Now the bad news: on asking the samsung people about ICS update for galaxy note they couldnt comment neither about availability nor could confirm whether it would be updated to ICS at all.
UPDATE: According to one of the tech reviewing sites igyaan (who were present at the india launch event), they have confirmed from samsung officials that Galaxy note will indeed get ICS update. That seems promising !

I'm more interested in the price, considering Maharashtra has the highest tax slab on electronics and mobile devices.

Actually I got it from eBay, the seller had decent reviews so I thought what the heck. I couldn't get it ordered from online German retailers since the only one which could ship to India was charging me 290 Euro for shipping. It is set to be shipped today and then delivered within 3-5 business days, hope it goes well.
EDIT : It was 820$(USD) plus 79$ for shipping. I'm not sure what the import duty will be, but I'll deal with it.
good luck with indian customs ... im sure saale bahut jyaada charge karenge tujhko .. all the best !
I only had to pay 14% for my ipad 2, it can't be more than that. Plus I chose fedex which has there own custom clearance department so it gets processed faster.

That's still so expensive..smh.. hope its price is lower when it launches in India.. 40k+ Rs is just too much.. its supposed to be a hybrid of galaxy tab 750 and a galaxy s2.. so ithe price is supposed to be in between.. but since Samsung doesn't want to interfere in the sell of the new galaxy tab, it is costlier.. and besides there is still no other product in d phoblet department to compete with the galaxy note.. so its goin to be expensive here too ,I guess
It's supposed to arrive today

Anyone who thought that the Note might not be too popular amongst consumers, think again .
Samsung has managed to ship 1 Million Galaxy Notes worldwide. This is when its not even available in the US yet. According to an article, Samsung plans to bring the Note to the US with AT&T next year.

Interesting! Nice to hear it sold so well...
I'm surprised of it's delay to USA though, I'm sure plenty of people out there are eagerley awaiting it's release!
They will have to purchase one from ebay/abroad or simply wait...
Can anyone get the sales for the dell streak after 3months released. Alot of people thought there wasnt a market for this type of phone. Compared to Sgs2 this is a really good start.
Will increase once it hits the US.

I do not have the sales figures of the Dell Streak but I can say it's nothing compared to the Samsung Note.
Reason being Dell did NOT advertise the product, Samsung did!
Dell did not advertised the Streak at all! There were just a few enthusiasts who bought this device...
People, they haven't sold 1 million devices, they've shipped 1 million (read the topic )
But i guess they'll reach the million mark soon enough

Good, good. Sammy did expend a lot of money on advertisement. They have dozens of twits, youtube videos and TV commercials. Make me feel a little less special, but, we do need more support for making games work with our little toy.
I would consider it popular if it shipped at the same rate as the S2, but its a niche device. Good to see it at least ship ( but not sell ) 1M units already.
Talking about the regional sales, Samsung stated that Galaxy Note had strong sales in France and Germany and has a steady rise in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

I don't know if you noticed, but they said that the GNote was doing well in France and Germany... could that possibly be because the majority bought our Gnotes from Amazon.de and Expansys who shipped the Notes from these countries before they were released in our native countries?
I know that's where I bought mine!!! Been a Gnote owner for nearly two months and loving it more and more every day!
I always 'new' the Note would be a huge success because it replaces a phone and a tablet for most people. Well done Samsung for producing such a versatile quality device.

Since there is a big demand ,shipping is almost same as sold.
Samsung will be hosting a press conference in New Delhi on May 31 to launch the Galaxy S III in India but the smartphone is likely to be available a week later. Multiple sources have told BGR India that the Galaxy S III will be available on store shelves around June 8. Even online retailers are expecting units to be available for shipping from June 8 onwards.
We are also hearing that the Galaxy S III will be priced at Rs 39,990. This is likely to be the MRP and not the street price. However, considering the high profile nature of the Galaxy S III, we cannot confirm whether the phone will retail at Rs 39,990 for the first few weeks or will it, like all other phones, have a different market operating price as soon as it is launched. At the moment, Samsung is taking pre-bookings for the Galaxy S III and is offering a free Bluetooth headset for those who commit Rs 2,000 to reserve their unit.
The Galaxy S III will compete with the HTC One X, which was launched in India for Rs 37,899 and is now retailing at about Rs 36,000. Samsung might just put a premium on the Galaxy S III, considering the success of the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note as well as its marketing muscle, which would easily overshadow what HTC has done so far for the One X. Ideally, HTC could gain some additional sales were it to slash the price of the One X but that is unlikely to happen.

Nice June 8 isn't too far from now. I'm excited for Indian users as a lot of them are into samsung devices and also great developers like Gadgetcheck.

Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

price is high, GPU is old....
hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).
~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )
The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

oh..I always thought it was a "I Gotta Have It FIRST" tax.
According to the US Cellular pre-order, it's $299.99 contract and $799.99 off-contract.

In India, the retailers are estimating it in the first week of October. Let's see though.
European retailers have links you have in stock soon.
If you can tell me I would appreciate some.
Cheapest I've found is at http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-grey-unlocked/

unfortunately not, even the Euro versions with LTE (right now there are at least 5 different versions, not all have LTE and the ones that do have LTE only work with a limited number of networks, most Euro versions will work with ATT 3G and 2G)
Thank you very much for the link to the store if you do not know any German website send outside Europe as it seems to be the first country to receive the note 2.

oh yes october 1st for UK! Gunna have to buy this on release day!
Thanks for posting release dates crazeco
Hey everyone,
Ive been a member for quite a while, however, i never posted anything or even logged in for some time but i do read the forum everyday Android Addiction
I have been looking for a laptop that i could carry around with me everywhere in my bag pack and eventually got the galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition.I got my order delivered today morning and have been playing with the device for some time and i have to say that it is awesome and a sexy beast !!!. I read alot of posts in this forum regarding lag and stuff but it is an incredible device and hardly noticed any lag after the update. The S pen works like a charm, not the best but i love it! I will be using this tablet as a laptop replacement so am probably going to add a nice little blue tooth keyboard and a mouse in the bag pack. One thing i was afraid of having a powerful tablet is the heat but fortunately i haven't noticed any heat at the back after using it continuously for 2 hours( i tested gps/ movies / music / Bluetooth). The audio quality is really amazing and i would have to say this tablet will be an excellent media device....Not much for music because of the size unless u have Bluetooth headset but for movies the crystal clear LCD screen along with its audio quality will be more than enough.
There is no problems yet but one thing i found disturbing is the fact that my product could not be registered in the Samsung site for getting Google credit :/ they say the combination is invalid which is disappointing, if anyone knows about this issue i would appreciate any help.
All in all the note 2014 is a great piece of hardware and if you are afraid of getting this tab due to fear of heating issues or lagging , don't be because i can guarantee this tab has no problems that would make any owner bite his eyes. Most of the people wouldn't care about a lag that occurs rarely.
