This is basically the same strategy they did with the Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
The suggested retail price of the Galaxy Note is pegged at Php35,990.
Bookmark this page for details on how you can get into the pre-order and grab additional discounts and freebies for your unit. Will update once the DTI permit is already approved.
Updated: Here’s the complete text of the promo.
Here’s the low-down:
– Free with a Smart Postpaid Plan 2000 plus one month FREE service fee (P2,000) and a free flip cover valued at P1,450.

i first tried to reserve 1201AM using hotmail, no email confirmation arrived. did another one using gmail, none as well. reported to samsung. slept. a few minutes ago I tried again using work email — success! #65 open line
Gmail din ginamit ko na email but I recieved the email right after I submitted the form. Kindly see to it na tama inilagay mo na email address (ex. your_e****@****.***).
I tried to reserve at 1205AM. I got to the page where it is asking you to check the confirmation email. Until now I still haven’t received the email.Dahil kaya sa Gmail ang ginamit ko?
Bad trip. sayang puyat ko.
I also reserved very early (12:01) and I did use a Gmail address and got it instantly, it didn’t even go to my “Spam” folder, it was right in the “Inbox”. you may want to try it again or use another email or double check your email as you type it ;-)
Please, fix the comment sections. Was posting twice and still deferred. “Anti-spam defense”?
Anyway, got my reservations and asked myself after, Did i just do the right thing? and Yes Promdi, Regional discrimination sucks. Poor us! =(
Reserved and printed out the copy! ha! Have I done the right thing? =|
Yes, that’s the way to go! Open-line pre-orders can be claimed by a print-out of your confirmation (where you can see your reservation code) plus a valid ID, same thing when I got my Galaxy Tab few months ago.
“Units may only be released to the CONFIRMED customers present during the SELLING EVENT.”
“The SELLING EVENT will be on November 19, 2011 between 10AM and 8PM at the The Podium, Mandaluyong City.”
Another regional discrimination of Samsung Philippines!
oo nga… napakaUNFAIR to those na gustong bumili at makaavail ng promo. :(
If i reserve and NOT go at the venue, would my reservation be viable at any Smart Wireless? Or just specifically on that event?
Number 16 here confirmed 12:45am w00t! hurry up so I can play with my new toy hehe
Number 16 here confirmed 12:45am w00t hurry us so I can play with my new toy hehe
Reservation Confirmed! Yahoo :)
yay #6
How can you tell? I didn’t notice a counter.
@ Joe, Take a look at your reservation code, its something like this, if you have reserved an open-line like me;
SGN53OPEN-19-XXXX
Those last “X”s represents your number ;-)
I see. Thanks for the tip.
#26!
Reserved one!
“The 600 units of Galaxy Note for this promo is part of the first 650 units shipment to the Philippines for this mode”
I’m just wondering what Samsung people are smoking over there!?
See what I was shown at their pre-order page, just few minutes ago!?
” You came to reserve a Galaxy Note? You came to early, please come back on November 11, 2011, 12:01 AM, Thanks you”
It is one of the most noticeable mobile phone this days.
May i know how can i pre-order this using smart postpaid plan 2k?
Does the pre-order starts on 12:01am?
Hi sir Abe! I don’t know if I missed reading about it in the blog above, but what’ll be the available internal storage mem for the first 300 units? Also, do you know if a white variant will be released along side the midnight blue version this Saturday?
It’s the 16GB model and just the dark color that will be available.
paano naman kaya yung after market service nito? puwede kaya sa kahit anong samsung store? saka, saan gagawin yung release nung units? puwede bang cash? hahahaha
What’s the advantage of this one over iPad2
You can still put this inside your pocket, you will not look dumb when you answwer your phone:) and it can be held at your palm. This is a hybrid.
paano po magpre-order sa smart(2k plan) do I need to go to smart wireless canter on November 15(or kahit lumampas sa november 19 pwede pa din?) to do this or pwede din sa www.samsung.com.ph/reserveanote na site?
sana bumaba price after new year kht P28k.. bibili ako!! haha
