It Samsung doesn't reduce the price I don't see it selling. There are not a lot of geeks who prefer such a huge screen on a phone. So the market niche for that is small. Also, why get a smartphone for such a high price when one can get a tablet which does more, cheaper?

We have to spread how stupid this price is to other blogs. Comment on them. Comment on Samsung Facebook. Comment on their twitter. What needs to happen is when someone searches for Samsung Galaxy Note on google, the first pages they see are about people saying how crazily unreasonably expensive it is.

The prices in the Scandinavian countries are always ridiculous. Two examples are Galaxy S2 and Xperia Arc; at launch, they cost €600 ($850) and €550 ($775) respectively here in Sweden.
I really doubt that the price for Galaxy Note will exceed $800 in the US and €600 in other European countries.

Think about it. There's plenty of room for all sizes and shapes and colours. Just like in real life it would be pretty sad if you went into a green grocers and found your fruit and veggies were only Apples and Pears and Androids. What about Celery, Durians and Pineapples or Pumpkins. I really like the Note because the big screen is just easier to see and still fits in the shirt or jacket pocket.

and if you don't use it that much because of battery life, then theres no point getting this large phone in the first place.

man i am now starting to hate this mini tablet phone because it was said in one previous article of this device that the price range would be of somewhere between galaxy S and S2 now it is said that it would be costlier than the ipad 2 so now my decision is to go back to the earlier phone i was waiting to buy that is optimus 3d

True to form, another Samsung phone every week. When will they realise you just cannot buy a market. Did not work for Nokia and will not work from Samsung.

This price can get you a better specced netbook.
This price can get you a Sandy Bridge i7 laptop with dedicated GPU, too.
In other words: this price, is ridiculous. If you intend to pay it up, well, your loss.

The pricing seems reasonable if you see it as a minaturisation of a tablet but looks expensive if you see it as a large plastic container with a pimped up GalaxyS2+ rattling around inside. It seems to be overlooked that the challenge used to be how to stuff all the components into ever smaller containers. But not anymore. In fact its getting easier and easier with big screen smartphones. So it should be cheaper not dearer.

Hello GSM and all the readers.
I'd like to comment the thing you called "Bad news" which was the pricing.
I'd just like to tell you, that 6000 SEK which was the swedish price, is the normal price for recently released products. That doesn't matter that the price will be the same in for example the US. 6000 SEK isn't unusual here, since we our countries has good economies. You should not worry about that pricing, the Galaxy SII had the same price when it was released here, but quickly dropped. It'll be the same with this one.
