TELUS puts LTE-capable Samsung Galaxy Note online as ‘Coming Soon”
At CES this year the Samsung Galaxy Note was confirmed to arrive at TELUS, no word on price or a specific date, but we’re hearing the mid-February time frame. The Note will also be arriving at Bell and Rogers, too. However, it’s TELUS that doesn’t mess around and are first to market when it comes to placing the familiar “coming soon” on their site. TELUS notes that “With its massive 5.3” screen, LTE capable speeds and Android 2.3, the ultra portable Samsung Galaxy Note easily extends smartphone capabilities”.
The Note will most likely be one of TELUS’ first LTE-capable devices, along with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE. A press release a few days ago stated that their LTE network will launch “later this quarter”.

That’s a Great move from Telus!
Funny how you go into “Smartphones” and they have new phones, Android and Windows OS; then old phones; then one Windows 7.5 and then…at the bottom of the page the Blackberries!; this shows what the people want these days.

I’ve had the gnote for over a month now and is by far the best device I’ve ever had. Any one thinking about this, I totally recommend it. You will never go back to a girly phone.

was going to wait for this one, but had to go with Nexus today instead. At least i know the Nexus will be up to date. Every other phone, no matter how nice the company, will always be updated in Canada after every other country gets it, and even then its also on how the carries feels that quarter.

That’s why I flashed the stock international ROM on my Galaxy S II. At least I won’t be dependant on Bell for the updates. And Samsung has been quite fast in updating the phone so far.

It won’t be exclusive. Bell and Rogers have both had the phone in their devices testing departments for the last 1-2 months.

The Telus page states that they are using the “1.4 GHz Exynos” processor, just in case anyone like me was hoping for it. Way to go Telus!!

Does it have super AMOLED or Super AMOLED “Plus” screen?

Neither, it’s super AMOLED HD, for what it’s worth.
Yes it’s pentile, it that was your question. But it’s definitely a better display than the one of the Galaxy S2.

if it has the LTE chipset, it doesn’t have the Exynos.

That would be sad.
The 1.2 GHz Exynos is better than the 1.5 GHz snapdragon
The 1.4 GHz Exynos can only be even better.
21 Mbps isn’t slow anyway. I don’t see the rush for LTE chipset if this mean making big sacrifices.

I want the center button (looks much better!) I guess only BELL would be selling the version with the center button.

If Bell is getting the LTE version, it’ll look like this (one LTE capable unit for all of North America) and have the Snapdragon
If they’re getting the International version without LTE, it’ll have the middle button and Exynos
Betting on the former

As amazing this.. One has to wonder: With a screen that size and LTE capability what the battery life will be like. Hopefully they will input a battery that will be able to take on a full day with heavy use. Don’t know if that’s wishful thinking though.

It definitely cannot make it through a full days use. Usually by 4 or 5 in the afternoon it would be down to 20 percent. The only way to make it last is to do the silly Android ‘power juggle’ with Juice Defender. Wifi off, Bluetooth off, Facebook.twitter updates off. It is actually pretty annoying having to constantly monitor the devices power consumption. I like the device but it is not even in the same league as the iPhone for managing power. Calm down those with the Android blinders on the Note is still bad a*s.

I really hope the GNote LTE is outfitted with the Exynos chipset and the Telus website is not a typo.

If this phone has a Exynos SoC I’m going to be VERY happy. My nexus S gave up the ghost earlier this month and if the note has the Exynos 4212 the note just became the biggest nobrainer just-wait-for-it device I’ve seen in a very long time. I feel like it does have that chipset, because phone companies don’t usually advertise the SoC used in a phone. My guess is that Telus is going out of their way to point this out because it is a very, very big deal. Hopefully mobile syrup can do a little digging and let us know if this is for real.

I dont see why they dont use the exynos chipset and get rid of the LTE for now! The funny thing is the international version of Samsung phones always look better..
