It’s not wrong to say a lot many people are waiting eagerly for Samsung’s 5.5 inch phablet device, the Galaxy Note 2. We know that the Galaxy Note 2 is available on pre-order in US and India already, and now the there is some good news for our European friends too: it looks like the Galaxy Note 2 will be shipping in Europe within two weeks.

Though, the availability will only be gradual, beginning with Germany and Italy, followed by UK, France and Netherlands.

Here’s the availability chart:

  • Germany September 27
  • Italy September 28
  • France October 1-2
  • Netherlands October 1-2
  • United Kingdom October 1-2

Not only the expected release date, but an estimate of price is also available for what it’s worth. It’s being said that one can expect Galaxy Note 2’s price at around 699 euros. That’s $910 approx. Whoa! The price isn’t near final in anyway, but still this can be taken as good guess of its final price — and we’ll be sure to update this place once the official pricing is available.

If you are in the market to buy a very different phone, and aren’t shy on size — and extra-fame and surprising eyes around you given its size – do give the monster Galaxy Note 2 is, a serious thought. It packs in some serious hardware: the 1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos processor, 2 GB RAM, a very handy and useful stylus (which has already impressed many many people already), an 8 megapixel camera (and 2 megapixel one in front) and a gorgeous 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display to boot. And it will have latest Android 4.1 software, the Jelly Bean pre-installed. Clearly a very impressive spec-sheet!

As for the colors of Galaxy Note 2, it will come in two: Titanium Grey and Marble White (same as that of Galaxy S3).

So, who’s ready to buy the Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2, a 5.5” phone-cum-tablet device with cool stylus, for that price? Btw, I guess, the price will come down, quite naturally, in a matter of weeks. So, if buying only at highest price is not your game anyway, better hold on to your dear wallet for a bit longer.

That’s about Europe, we know Galaxy Note 2 is coming soon to US too, and we will be sure to bring the pricing and release date here as and when we hear it.
