The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has officially arrived in the United States. International markets have had their hands on the handset for close to a month, but the massive phablet has taken its time coming stateside via five carriers. The Galaxy Note 2 launch was yesterday, and as of today, two carriers are selling the Galaxy Note 2 in the United States.
The first is T-Mobile. The carrier started selling the Galaxy Note 2 yesterday, October 24, ahead of everybody else. T-Mobile charges the higher price of $369.99 instead of 299.99 for the Galaxy Note 2, but the $70 premium may be because of the carrier's earlier supply stock. Also, don't expect to take advantage of LTE through T-Mobile.
Sprint is the only other carrier to sell the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as of now. Sprint started today, October 25, and is charging $299.99
Carrier U.S. Cellular will be next in line, promising a sell date of Friday, October 26. U.S. Cellular was the first carrier to begin taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 for $299.99 a few weeks back, but until now, had the the shipping date listed as the "end of October."
AT&T will follow with a release date of November 9 for the Galaxy Note 2. AT&T began taking pre-orders today, October 25, and is the exclusive carrier that helped launch the original Galaxy Note. AT&T charges $299.99 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, with a standard two-year contract of course.
Verizon will be the last carrier to release the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The Big Red started taking pre-orders today, October 25, as well. Verizon charges $299.99, and promises a ship date of around one month, meaning that the it could well be November 25 by the time Verizon customers get their hands on the Galaxy Note 2.
