The only surprise here, is the fact that T-Mobile even launched the Galaxy Note in the first place. Everyone was wondering why T-Mobile was bothering with a device that was almost a year old, not to mention the fact that its successor, the Galaxy Note II, is supposed to be announced at the end of this month. Well, it appears T-Mobile has come to its senses as it has decided to put the device to rest.
There’s plenty of deals going around today, some better than others, but all have to do with Android hardware. For starters, there’s about 7 hours left to pick up a 32GB Motorola XOOM 3G from Daily Steals.
While the Motorola XOOM might be considered the grandpa of Android tablets, it still has a bit of life to it, that is assuming Jelly Bean makes its way to the 3G version. We wouldn’t call it a steal, more of “something to consider.”
The device that coined the term “phablet” is officially on its way to T-Mobile. The 5+” Samsung Galaxy Note will be available from T-Mobile in “coming weeks” and will launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Samsung’s Premium Suite. The Galaxy Note has risen above ridicule to become a top selling Samsung device that will soon have T-Mobile customers clamoring for a stylus.
The Spigen SGP Valentinus provided by the good folks at MobileFun is a handmade, luxury faux leather wallet case for the Samsung Galaxy Note that’s designed to protect your device and carry your credit cards and cash — allowing you to leave you billfold behind.
Its slimline form factor hopes to maintain the Galaxy Note’s slender shell no matter how many cards you cram inside, while providing full body protection against dings, dents, scuffs, and scratches. Its button clasp also keeps the case closed while it’s not in use, and ensures that when you do drop you device, the case doesn’t open up and leave your 5.3-inch display exposed.
The Valentinus boasts four card slots, plus a larger pocket for bills, business cards, and anything else you pick up on your travels. As you’d expect, it provides access to all your buttons, ports, and cameras, in addition to the Galaxy Note’s S Pen.
With all this talk of Jelly Bean lately, it’s easy to forget that most users are still waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich. Well, that wait is finally over for owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note as well as the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, according to AT&T. Ice Cream Sandwich is now available for both devices via Samsung’s Kies software and instructions for downloading include:
