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.

Well let it launch once, one way is, we all indian members can enquire for the cheapest group buy prices in our cities and order from wherever we get it most cheap.
Ah well, I already ordered mine from Germany.

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

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.

Next week will be epic once again. Ive missed my Note so much and have been in some ugly phones shoes for too long...

did you buy the international version ?
do you have the URL of the store ?
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
Has the Note 10.1 price dropped everywhere, because I was just on Amazon and the 16gb is now 450 and the 32gb is 500.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=galaxy+note+10.1
Looks like their Galaxy Tab 2 10.1s are also a little cheaper at 329 now.
Is this everywhere? Just Amazon? Temporary?
It's because I finally bought one the other day. Every time I buy something, it goes on sale the next week or so. At least I got mine at Costco, so it was about the same price after tax.

Noticed the price drop too. I bought mine when it came out for 550€ and now it is 350€. (16GB 3G version) I never saw such a huge price drop on a tablet/smartphone I owned before.
Where can i get it for 350 €!?!? (For my wife )

The unveiling of the note 8 seems to have had a positive affect for consumers. Most major retailers dropped their price on the note 10.1 late last week, right before MWC started in Barcelona. The note 8 was unveiled by Samsung at MWC over the weekend. This week, they should be unveiling a successor to the SGIII and a new 10-inch tab (no successor to the note 10.1 is expected this year; CES 2014 is the likely venue where any upgrade to the note 10.1 would be revealed).

Really? There is no expected successor this year for the note 10.1? I was holding out getting one because I thought they would release a new one pretty soon. Where did you see that there wouldn't be a successor anytime soon?
I just got the 32gb note from bhphotovideo for $449. they are selling it for the same price as the 16gb
Got my 50 dollar price match from Best Buy yesterday
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk HD
Best Buy has the 16GB at $520. And someplace unrated called Tech Cubicle in MA has it for $454 (free shipping).
Yes it's true. Best Buy has dropped the price on the 16gb and 32gb both. I think it's a $30 price drop but not a whole lot. I think this the sign of the 12.2 Note Pro and Tab Pro's coming up very soon. So hopefully we should see 4.4 kitkat very soon as well.
I also noticed the OEM Samsung case for the 2014 Note 10.1 has gone up to $79.99 at Best Buy So I am not sure if they redesigned the case or what but not sure about the price hike. I bought the Case about a week ago but took it right back because it was so cheaply made and not very protective. I paid at $59.99 or $69.99 but not $79.99.

Dream on. I pretty much guarantee we wont see 4.4 anytime soon. Not the way Samsung do business.
I just picked up my Note 10.1 2014 from Best Buy last week. Time to head over there and get them to give me a refund of $30.
b&h is down to $499 for 16GB
Best buy where I live is down to 499.
A 64 Gb wifi only re manufactured for $520 today on groupon. The deal will be gone monday
Excellent price! I lucked out and bought a 64 GB Note Pro refurbished via eBay for $550 a few months back.
Just picked up the att LTE version (32gb) refurb for $380, I'm excited to see what can be done.

I just "pre-ordered" P905 since the cheapest shop here doesn't have available stocks (it probably didn't sell well here). I hope to get it in a week. Hopefully my accessories (keyboard, micro sdxc and ethernet) arrive early.
I have bought 64gb wifi about a month ago for £324 from PC World UK
I picked my Verizon 32gb version for $293.50. I just rooted this. So excited to start using this.
Those prices make my wallet ache... I paid €820 for mine.. ($869, £588) (A year ago, but alas.)

I paid $850 for my SM-P905 about a year ago and i'm pleased it has retained its value very well. Prices from reputable sellers start at about $700. Only a $150 deprecation after being a year old, is good news to my wallet. Especially when i decide to sell it and upgrade.
I'm very tempted to pick up one of these, I currently have a note 10.1 (2012 edition) and was planning on getting the 2014 edition but then I found out about this note pro 12.2. The extra screen size is certainly appealing, what's everyone's opinion on this tablet, is it worth getting, I understand there's a 2015 edition in the works but then again I doubt I could afford the price of that if and when it's released where as the current 12.2 costs hardly anymore than what the 10.1 2014 edition costs that I was looking at purchasing initially.

I got my wifi 64GB 12.2 tablet for $430... and the matching keyboard cover for 39.99 ($190 off the tablet, $60 off the keyboard) at the local BJ's. I was not in the market, but this was too good to pass...
Should I get one now or wait?
Do you think there will be a 2015 version of the note pro?
I just bought mine for $410 on Monday. I'm blown away by how fantastic this device is. I decided to buy it as a 'laptop replacement' which I was somewhat cautious to do given my so-so experience with Android tablets in the past (I love Android on phones but the tablet experience hasn't been great). In any case, it's fantastic.

I'm wondering the same thing Luis, but I don't think I'm going to wait. I actually bought the AT&T LTE variant used off of eBay last month and loved the device. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the supposed "Like New" condition the seller claimed and the battery life was pretty horrid. So that one's on the way back to the seller for a refund and I'm planning to buy one brand new from AT&T using the Next plan. Hoping Lollipop will arrive stateside sooner rather than later.
It's really sad seeing all of my Note Pro accessories on a shelf with no Note Pro to use them on... :crying:
I just bought a new 64GB WiFi version for USD $500.00.
After getting the LG G Pad 7 for a buck with my G3, I'm spoiled on data enabled tablets. I don't think I'll ever be able to settle for a wifi tablet again.
I've changed my old iPad 1 32GB WiFi Only with Note pro 12.2 LTE giving only 100€ to prev owner! :good:
It's a fantastic tablet!
And today is updated to Lollipop via ota!!

If there is, it will cost over $800. So it's up to you if you want to spend that much more money to have the latest tech.
