Folks within the coverage area of US Cellular can feel free to put money down on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 now, as the regional carrier is currently offering the so-called phablet for pre-order. The phone is priced at $299.99 after instant rebate with service contract and is listed as shipping by the end of October. The pre-order is currently web-only.
The Note 2 will take advantage of US Cellular’s 4G LTE data coverage and likewise features specs identical to versions of the device slated for AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon’s network, including a quad-core Exynos processor and 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display. Other carrier have yet to open pre-orders for the device or announce further plans for release, but all are expected to receive the phone by mid-November at the latest.

:/ I really dont want to spend $300 on phone…
Wait 3-4 months?

lol yeah, I hear that.

Is that supposed to be an insult or something?
Ill check out Walmarts price. They are usually a bit cheaper. I could handle $250 with less walletary discomfort.
Edit: Also Im looking for the AT&T price.

If only they (USC) had LTE in Chicago…
Not going to happen for a long time if it does at all (directly from uscc that is). They have no spectrum to spare in Chicago (all 20mhz of it is being used for 3G).
I suspect US Cellular will strike a deal with Sprint to use their LTE network as native coverage in Chicago as USCC LTE phones are capable of roaming onto Sprint’s LTE network.
I don’t mind 300 on contrect for this but T-Mobile needs to announce the release date
That’s what I’m waiting for, come on T-Mobile!!!!
what is the off-contract price?
It’s gonna be around $650 – $800. It’s gonna be priced at between the halfway mark since it’s more of a tablet than phone.
I bought the first one from AT&T for $650 so I would assume a slight price increase…
I do understand why all the major carriers are taking forever to announce this thing….. I guess they don’t want to interrupt apples big week. I pray Verizon drop the juicy news next week or I’m burning something up! I’m getting very impatient!
I wonder how much is it for T-Mobile in full price
Give it 2 months it will be down 100 once more phones are out. Its going to be a big November this year.
sprint price on 2 year contract?
