Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Unlocked Cellphone
| February 18, 2012 | Filled under Cell Phones & Accessories |
The Samsung N7000 Galaxy Note 16GB Android is the ultimate device which consolidates core benefits of diverse mobile devices while maintaining smartphone portability. It has a 5.3-inch Super AMOLED screen and sports an 8MP rear camera and 2MP upfront.
The Galaxy Note shows what Samsung is capable of and what other companies should / could do if they weren’t too scared of giving a customer a complete product instead of making him buy 2 products to do the job of one. Brilliant engineering, great design and a solid, flexible product that takes the place of two products in one easy move. In my opinion, in 2011, this is truly, the best of both worlds. Pocketable, portable, capable and fast. I no longer feel the need to buy an iPad2 or a Galaxy Tab 10 or any other tablet. The Note goes with me everywhere, in my pocket and does whatever I need it to do. It definitely gets my vote for best mobile phone / hybrid tablet for 2012. Highly recommended.

The Galaxy Note is an amazing device and I strongly recommend getting one. I flagged this item with one star though since there is no such thing as a U.S. warranty for these devices. Don’t believe me, call Samsung and ask them. Samsung U.S. will not handle warranty claims on these devices. Best you can do is buy from an international reseller that will handle the return for you to Samsung Europe or one of their other divisions. Anyone claiming to sell with U.S. warranty is either giving you a 3rd party warranty or just plain lying…
Buy the original.
