Galaxy Note 2 Mobilicity, Telus and Wind Mobile announce the new phablet!

 There has been a buzz of excitement from Canadian-based mobile phone companies and users about the pending launch of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The Galaxy Note 2 is set to be released in North America on October 24th, 2012 during a media event to be held in New York.

 Many mobile phone carriers in Canada, including Mobilicity, Telus Mobility and Wind Mobile, had already announced that the Samsung’s latest arrival will be released in the fall. Telus Mobility went a step further to announce that the new smartphone cum tablet will be available on October 30th, just a few days after the official launch. This is certainly good news for all Telus subscribers who have been waiting with bated breath to own the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

 Although they have given an official date of release, Telus failed to mention what the prospective consumer should be ready to part with once the phone is available. However, the price of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is expected to be announced very soon. Following Telus’ example, other Canadian mobile carriers are also expected to make the announcements in due time.

 The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is certainly an upgrade from the original Galaxy Note in many ways. The new handset has a much larger display, which measures 5.5-inches, it is thinner than the original at 9.4mm and it has RAM of 2 GB. In addition, enhancements were made to the S Pen that make it much easier to use.

 Telus had previously listed the new handset under “coming soon,” but they have recently changed that to declare the launch date of the Note 2, which as we said earlier will be on Tuesday, 30th October, 2012. However, there is still no indication of the expected price range. As anticipated, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will also be available at Mobilicity, Bell, SaskTel, Rogers, WIND and Videotron.
