Samsung Galaxy Note 2 launches on the 16th at Php33k

Nacoconfuse ako, yung “OR 4G LTE” is N7105 model diba? So yung launch sa 16th is just the HSPA+ model

This, or the LG Optimus G…

Priced just right, it’s more affordable on the grey market. I’m tempted but…I find the device too big to fit on my pocket.

Galaxy note 2 (and /or SGS III)is still better (and cheaper) than Iphone 5.

still waiting for lumia 920 price…

I was told that only 16gb will be released in the Philippines.. can anyone confirm this? Because if there’s a chance that 32gb will become available, then i will wait for that instead.

Sun postpaid plan of unlimited internet 1699 for galaxy S3 has no data cap. Last sept. (1st month of my usage), I consumed 40-50GB bandwidth.

Wow, cheaper than what I expected!

The first-gen Galaxy Note was 36k when it was released here in the Philippines around November last year.

I hope OtterBox and other brands of cases will release protective cases before the year ends.

PS. Make a comparison between the Galaxy Note 2 and iPhone 5, please :) Still undecided.

I know a retailer who sells the SG Note 2 for 31,990. It was also the same retailer where we purchased the first Note. We had problems with the first note (most of them serious, Superbrick and a loose power connector) Both problems required motherboard replacement. At least Samsung was quick to replace these 2 faulty components even if the unit had scratches unlike Apple.
My former colleague sent her iPod touch 4 for repairs because of the malfunctioning home button but was rejected because of a small unnoticeable ‘dent’. She had to have it repaired in the black market but the first one broke her LCD (not greenhills). Then she went to Greenhills to have both the LCD and the Home button fixed and she ended up paying extra.
Here’s the specs of the Note 2 that I would expect but is not published by most people:
>LED Notification (I saw a vid saying that it’s supported). I miss LEDs from my old BlackBerry
>exFAT support (Not confirmed. I had my USB formatted for exFat for testing and I also have a USB adapter)
>Offline voice recognition support (That comes with Jellybean.) I also miss that from blackberry. Siri is overrated because it cannot do anything offline.
>Split-screen multitasking is supported but only after an update.
>The international version is 3G only. The carrier specific versions are 4G capable. I don’t know why Samsung is dropping the ball on us by releasing a partially baked product. Well, that’s Samsung… What good is a 3100mah battery if you don’t even have 4G? Samsung co-developed 4G but Apple did not. But Apple released 4G in all of it’s iPhone 5 releases. Why not Samsung? I honestly thought that Samsung is going to make the Note 2 4G capable in all their devices since they have discovered a way to overcome the 4G limitations on a quad core chip in their Galaxy S3 re-releases in S. Korea and Australia. I guess they don’t want us to use 4G yet…
