Galaxy Note Phablet Available For Pre-Order From AT&T And Best Buy US And Canada

Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy Note, News

Ever since Samsung announced the 5.3-inch Galaxy Note phone/tablet, we've had a lot of fun coming up with endearing names for this "tweener" device. It's certainly an interesting device and North American customers can finally get their hands on it in the next few weeks.

As promised by AT&T, the Galaxy Note is now officially available for pre-order from its website.

Similarly, Best Buy US also has the Note up for pre-order in Carbon Blue and Ceramic White.

Posted by in Atrix 2, Motorola, News

Motorola Atrix 2 owners on AT&T are receiving an OTA update to v55.13.25, by AT&T reckoning. In Android versions, that would be 2.3.6, so sorry - no Ice Cream Sandwich for you, yet. Before your hopes are completely dashed, though, here are the full release notes:

    Kernel Source Code For The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Hits The Open Source Release Center

    Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy Note, News

    Source code. Galaxy Note. AT&T.

    What do you get when you combine those three things? If you said "source code for the Galaxy Note on AT&T," then you win a cookie. Go wait over there and we'll bring it right out.

    Samsung just pushed the source to its Open Source Release Center for all to grab, but there is a catch. For some reason, there are three different versions of the code, all basically identical, save one line (thanks for digging through the code, JCase). We're not entirely sure what this one line represents - but we're sure it's something. ...

    Galaxy Note Goes On Sale February 19th On AT&T For $299 With Two-Year Agreement

    Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy Note, News

    Are you one of literally dozens of users who believe that your 4.5" smartphone is too small, that 7" tablets are too big, and that styluses never got the shot they deserve on a modern smartphone? Then mark February 19th on your calendars, friends. The Galaxy Note from Samsung is landing that very day (pre-orders start on February 5th).

    galaxynoteces

    The Galaxy Note is unique enough in its own right. Part phone, part tablet, the device attempts to be it all for the power user who can't quite decide which device they want. For what it's worth, the stylus looks to ...

    T-Mobile Turns Attention To Network Quality After AT&T Deal Falls Through

    Posted by in AT&T, News, T-Mobile

    Following the collapse of T-Mobile's planned $39 billion deal with AT&T, the magenta carrier has turned its attention to network quality and performance to draw new customers. Chief Executive Philipp Humm provided comment on the situation Wednesday:

    We have a very clear spike on value compared to everyone else. Now it's about bringing the quality phase alive. That's something that during the transition phase kind of suffered.

    Magenta lost more than 467,000 contract customers over the 10 months it worked with AT&T on the ill-fated takeover, focusing not on network enhancements, but instead on completing the deal.  Humm noted that ...

    [CES 2012] Video Hands-On With The Sony Xperia Ion And Xperia S, Including Their Speedy 12MP Rear Cameras

    Posted by in News, Sony, Videos, Xperia Ion, Xperia S

    We stopped by the Sony booth earlier this morning at CES, and got some hands-on time with the very first Sony smartphones (Sony-Ericsson is no more, subject to regulatory approval) - the Xperia Ion and the Xperia S. While these devices were designed before the Sony Ericsson breakup, they'll be marketed as Sony devices when they hit retail channels.

    First up is the Xperia Ion, announced a couple of days ago by AT&T. As you may already know, Sony's upcoming flagship device (headed to AT&T in Q2) will be powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 4G LTE, and features a ...

    [Exclusive] Developer Codes Left In Retail ZTE Avail (AT&T) Offer Quick And Easy Root Access

    Posted by in AT&T, Avail, News

    New root methods show up all the time, so it's not a huge deal that a rather unknown phone on AT&T is now rooted. So why are we posting about it? Because the root method used is, well... interesting.

    It was uncovered by our own Justin Case from TeamAndIRC, and while a big part of the process will look very familiar to some of you, there is one step that induces a wait, what? moment.

    Before you get started throwing commands at the little guy, though, you need to grab this file. After that, commence command throwing.

    AT&T's Samsung Captivate (Finally) Gets Updated To Gingerbread

    Posted by in Captivate, Gingerbread 2.3, News

    More than a year after Android 2.3 Gingerbread made its debut, the Samsung Captivate (AT&T's Galaxy S clone) is finally getting its share of the goodness.

    captivate1

    Users will need to install the update manually, using Kies Mini. Luckily, Samsung has provided a helpful set of instructions here.

    While the update may be a little overdue, it's definitely good news for stock users who want to be one step closer to the latest and greatest iteration of Android.

    [Updated] CES 2012: AT&T Bringing Six New Android-Powered Devices To Its LTE Network In 2012: Sony Xperia Ion, Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket II, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Exhilarate, Pantech Burst, And Pantech Element

    Posted by in 4G, AT&T, Burst, Element, Exhilarate, Galaxy Note, News, Skyrocket HD, Xperia Ion

    AT&T embraced the go big or go home motto like a boss today at CES -- it announced six new Android devices. Three premium phones, two budget phones, and a budget tablet. Not only that, but every single one of these new devices will run on its 4G LTE network. Let's take a look at what we know so far, and we'll update as more info shows up.

    Update: I would like to note that just because all of the phones are shown running Gingerbread, that doesn't mean they won't ship with ICS. We may not see many of these

    [CES 2012] Samsung Posters Confirm Galaxy Note For AT&T – Logo And Four-Button Controls Included

    Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy Note, News

    It has become obvious, thanks to some displays on the CES floor, that the Galaxy Note is indeed headed for AT&T, with a few tweaks. Namely, an AT&T logo prominently emblazoned near the top of the device, and four-button controls replacing the original note's layout. It may be worth noting that these posters (as pointed out by Engadget) appear to feature mock-ups of AT&T's Note variant, as there is no sign of a 4G indicator.

    Official Samsung Galaxy Note Press Shot With AT&T Branding Leaks, Suggests February Release Date

    Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy Note, News

    We've been hearing quite a few rumors over the past few weeks that the monstrous Galaxy Note is finally coming to AT&T, with one accessory manufacturer outing a possible release timeframe of "early 2012." Looks like that may indeed be the case, as an official press shot of the Note with AT&T branding has leaked with the date of Tuesday, February 14th prominently displayed on the homescreen.

    Samsung-Galaxy-Note-ATT

    We completely expect Samsung and AT&T to make the U.S. Note official at next week's CES conference in Las Vegas, so hopefully we'll get an official release date at that time.

    [Updated]AT&T Galaxy Note Shows Up In Accessory Product PR Release, "Early 2012" Release Date Claimed

    Posted by in 4G, AT&T, Galaxy Note

    Update: Anymode, after what we assume was a good-natured cease and desist letter from AT&T, has denied any of the information in its CES Media Alert (pictured below) is true. If we're being frank, they're 100% completely full of beans. Someone made available information they weren't supposed to, and someone got upset. Too bad official photos of the AT&T Galaxy Note were leaked this morning.

    The stylus-toting Samsung Galaxy Note (or as I call it, the Samsung Galaxy S II: Andre The Giant Edition) has been quite successful overseas, and US consumers have been clamoring for a chance to get ...

    Posted by in AT&T, News

    AT&T started rolling out its 4G LTE network in September of 2011, and it has slowly been lighting up more and more cities across the nation since then.

    Pantech Element 'Waterproof' Tablet Outed Before CES, Coming To AT&T On January 8th For $299 With Two-Year Agreement

    Posted by in AT&T, Element, News, Pantech
    Last Updated: January 9th, 2012

    The carrier-connected Honeycomb tablet arena hasn't been very successful up to this point, mostly due to the outrageous prices that the units have been showing up with -- we've yet to see one for less than $400. Enter the Pantech Element, a "waterproof" tablet that looks to change the game with its sub-$300 price tag.

    Pantech-Element-LTE-BGR

    The Element is an 8-inch Honeycomb-powered tablet that runs on AT&T's LTE network, packing a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 16GB of storage, 5MP rear shooter, and 2MP front camera. It is also one of the first tablets to claim waterproof status. Except it's really not waterproof ...
