Right. Okay. What happened was, Samsung announced the Galaxy Note was arriving on 17 November in the UK — but now, an online retailer has announced it’ll actually be on sale a couple of weeks before that.
Online retailer Clove claims the Galaxy Note is actually due on 1 November, it announced via its Twitter feed yesterday. Not only that, it’s quoting a lower price than previously too. It also said the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be on sale on 17 November, so whether it was a mix up at Samsung’s end, or it wants to avoid a clash, or stock was delivered early, is anyone’s guess.
The Galaxy Note is the mega phone announced back at IFA in September. Its 5.3-inch screen makes it a huge mobile, or a very small tablet, depending on how you look at it. A couple of weeks ago Samsung announced it was due on 17 November, now Clove claims it will be two weeks earlier.
The price has also been dropped from the £559 initially quoted, to £495 — though including VAT that comes to £594.
“It looks like Samsung may have realised the initial price of £559 [excluding VAT] for the Note was perhaps a little too high — it’s now been dropped to £495,” a spokesperson from Clove told The Inquirer.
The Galaxy Note is powered by a 1.4GHz processor, runs Android Gingerbread, and has 16GB internal storage. It also ships with a smart pen stylus for making notes and doodling.
