Today, November 9, marks another milestone for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 fans in the United States. Carrier AT&T will begin selling the Galaxy Note 2 today, leaving just one carrier that has yet to start shipping their Galaxy Note 2s - Verizon.
AT&T is offering both the Titanium Gray and Marble White Galaxy Note 2 for $299.99 with a two-year contract. Pre-orders began late last month, but customers who didn't purchase one ahead of time can start checking their local AT&T retailers for stock.
Carrier Verizon has been a bit more lax in their Galaxy Note 2 launch, proclaiming a November 27 release date. That's more than two weeks away, and after Black Friday, but Verizon customers can rest easy knowing that their Galaxy Note 2s will be taking advantage of the most robust LTE network in the United States. Verizon is also selling the Galaxy Note 2 for $299.99 with a standard two-year contract.
Carriers Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular all have had the Galaxy Note 2 available for purchase before November even began. T-Mobile released its Galaxy Note 2 on launch day, October 24, while Sprint followed on October 25, and U.S. Cellular on October 26.
Both Sprint and U.S. Cellular offer the Galaxy Note 2 for $299.99 with a two-year contract. T-Mobile sells the phablet for $369.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate (meaning you will pay $419.99 at the time of purchase), but the good news is that the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 is already equipped to take advantage of T-Mobile's upcoming LTE network in 2013. If you're a T-Mobile customer, you can pick one up for cheaper through a third-party retailer.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is arguably the most powerful handset to hit the United States, sporting a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, LTE capabilities, Android Jelly Bean, and an impressive 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. With a 5.55-inch HD Super AMOLED display and the S Pen stylus, the handset isn't for everyone (especially those with small pockets), but as consumers are increasingly adopting larger screen sizes, this handset is sure to do well, already selling over three million units since its international launch.
