The Samsung Galaxy Note will be available in-store at AT&T February 19th. The device will be selling for $300 with a two-year contract. And it’s not just any smartphone. According to USA Today...
“...it is much larger than the standard smartphone ... [and] feels like a mini-tablet.”
How much larger? The note’s screen is 5 inches. Placing right in the middle of smartphones and tablets. The phone, as ComputerWorld describes, is
“...designed to replace multiple devices that users often carry...”

The Examiner reports that the Galaxy Note also has...
“...a highly advanced tool called the S Pen, which delivers fast, responsive and precise control to create fine lines and detail... much like an ink pen and pad of paper …”
Samsung shows how the S Pen works.
The S Pen is a built-in stylus. Korea Times reports that while late former Apple CEO Steve Jobs opposed styluses,...
“...the android drew huge attention for the built-in stylus … [and] industry analysts point out that the stylus pen contribute most to its success”
But the Note has its drawbacks. Techland reports,
“You can fit it in your pocket - although you’ll feel it with every step - and make phone calls on it, but using it with one hand is out of the question”
Pre-orders are also available at AT&T’s online store from February 5th, with deliveries on the 17th. The smartphone will be available in carbon blue and ceramic white.
