06 September, 2011
While the benchmarks scores of this 5.3-inch, dual-core monster are impressive, the pricing isn't.

    Why you all, talk about the pricing is too high. This is stated for the Scandinavian Countries, where the task is high. For example Sweden 25% etc. and the tax is included in the price.

    So you guys just wait for the pricing in other countries, before talking about how high or low it is ;)...
    Have patience and don't conclude too quick.

          AnonD-810, 07 Sep 2011even with those specs it's a bit laggy...yes, as explained by the poster below you the phone is in BETA stage, meaning its not yet finalized as the engineers still need to iron out the bugs. what you see here is the pre production model.

                    Are they serious ?
                    Didn't they say that
                    "The Galaxy Note will be priced between the Galaxy S II & the Galaxy S\S-Plus" ????????????????????????????
                    This is More expensive than the SGS plus & SGS II combined !!!!!!

                    One thing I learned from Samsung , The prices they set is less than half of the price it go for sell

                    I can't believe that I was tempted to get one , thank God I pulled the trigger & got me an Atrix .

                      this is really pricey. i beleive we might have a fair few price drops withing the first 2 months.. i thought this would have been sub $800... guess i'll wait for a ebay unit or a massive price decrease.


                      in other news where is the Galaxy 7.7??

                        Blankman, 06 Sep 2011Agreed, whilst the top end Android handsets are a joy to us... moreI agree. This phone is a waste of technology just because it is made by Samsung. If it was made by Nokia then it's just the right size for me. This phone will be a flop and the only way to save the sales of this device is by slapping a Nokia logo on it.

                        It's such a nice piece of mobile technology but it was ruined by the Samsung logo in the front. This phone is made for big people with big hands and midgets and teenage geeks posing as adults would not appreciate the size of this thing. Nokia should come up with a clone of this hybrid device and I'll be praising them endlessly but until then, I'll be complaining it's too big specially if it's made by Samsung.

The big thing in the early 2000's was small phones with lots of functionality, but screen size has taken over with smartphones. 4 inch MAXIMUM is best. Anything higher is a waste of battery power with modern tech or we're getting into tablet territory.

                                    The price is high, but not as high as the author of the article wants to imply. A quick check at the swedish applestore shows that the most expensive ipad 2 currently goes for 7195 sek. So the given price of 6000 sek is 1195 sek cheaper then the most expensive ipad 2.

                                    Iphone 4 16gb is 5995:- on the swedish applestore, so this samsung phone/tablet/whatever is basicly as expensive as an iphone 4 16gb.

                                      This is getting beyond a joke i sold my sgs2 because of size (and due to many FORCE CLOSE splash screens)and if this is the future then i dont want to be part of it...The sgs original is about the biggest handset i can handle in real life situations...Its all nice and dandy sat in your chair at home or in bed but out on the streets,on train or bus or generally shopping its a nightmare with these gigantic devices..

                                        Super Amoled is PenTile and the "high" quadrant-score could be because the screen actually have one-third fewer sub-pixels in total?
