[Deal Alert] Unlocked Galaxy Note II (3G) Just $549 On eBay Daily Deals

Posted by in Deals, Galaxy Note II, Samsung

It's a deal kind of day (it's Black Friday, after all), and we've got another one to add to your list: the unlocked GSM version of the Galaxy Note II is just $550 on eBay Daily Deals, with free shipping included.

deal2

Now remember - this particular variant of the Note II has no LTE support on board, just good 'ol HSPA+. Still, this is a great deal on an already pricey phone - $30 less than the lowest price we've seen. I'm actually using one right now, and Samsung's definitely made something special here.

One caveat on this deal is that California residents are required to pay sales tax, which at this price ends up bringing the total cost to just a hair under $600.

Court Says HTC Must Let Samsung's Lawyers See The Entirety Of Its Settlement With Apple

Posted by in Android OS, HTC, Legal, News, Samsung

The word "unredacted" is experiencing quite a spike in usage this morning, on news that HTC and Apple are being required to produce the full, uncut version of their patent licensing agreement for use by Samsung's legal counsel. The document in question, which had previously been provided sans 33 words (some of which were, presumably, numbers), was requested by Samsung last week for the purpose of arguing against Apple's post-trial motions for permanent injunctions against infringing Samsung products. To be clear, this request is a part of the already-gone-to-verdict $1 billion trial that happened this summer.

Samsung's request is evidentiary in nature, and because of the highly sensitive material involved, HTC and Apple's settlement will be for "attorney's eyes only," meaning any references to it in the record will be filed under seal, and redacted from any publicly released documents.

[Deal Alert] Sprint's Galaxy Note II Just $199 For New Customers, $250 For Upgrades From Amazon Wireless

Posted by in Deals, Galaxy Note II, News, Sprint

Three days ago, Amazon dropped the price of Sprint's Note II to $230 for new customers, but the white version was excluded. Today, it has dropped the price yet again, and this time it's good for both the gray and white variants.

Effective now, you can now grab a Note II with a new agreement on The Now Network for $199. The price for upgrades has also been dropped by $30 - from $280 to $250. This is the best deal that we've seen for Samsung's next-gen phablet - but remember, Cyber Monday's just around the corner. Who knows what kind of great deals it may - or may not - bring.

Samsung Shows Off The Upcoming Premium Suite-Enhanced Jelly Bean Update For The Note 10.1

Posted by in Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News, Videos
Last Updated: November 24th, 2012

When Samsung first launched the Note 10.1, it had some really solid ideas, but didn't do so well with the implementation. Soon after, the company released the the Note II, which improved on how it handled a lot of things that seemed to miss the mark on the Note 10.1 - namely multi-window, which allows more than one application to be run side-by-side.

Good news, though - Sammy just released a video that highlights the upcoming Premium Suite features that will be part of the Jelly Bean update, and it looks like they made a pretty major overhaul to multi-window.

Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II Silently Goes On Sale At Verizon, $129.99 On Contract

Posted by in News, Stratosphere II, Verizon Wireless

Does the idea of an Android 4.0 QWERTY slider on Verizon with a WVGA display excite you? Then head on over to Verizon's website, and order yourself a Stratosphere II. Announced a couple weeks ago, the Stratosphere II is definitely on the low end of mid range, with a 4" 480x800 display, Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Android 4.0, and a 5MP rear shooter.

We've also heard from a tipster that some RadioShack locations may already have the Stratosphere II on sale, and for free on contract as part of their Black Friday promotions - a pretty big savings over Verizon's price.

Samsung Posts Kernel Source Files For Cricket Galaxy S III, Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, And MetroPCS Admire 4G

Posted by in Cricket Wireless, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, MetroPCS, Verizon Wireless

Oh, open source files. You might not know it, but it's awfully hard to write words about kernel source going live on Samsung's website, something we do quite often here at Android Police. But, if you're into this sort of thing, you're probably not too concerned with what I'm saying, so much as the links to those files, which I have. And I'm going to make you scroll to get them!

Samsung has officially released kernel source for the Cricket version of the Galaxy S III, Verizon's Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with LTE, and the MetroPCS Admire 4G - which is an as-yet unannounced phone, and probably the sequel to the original Metro Admire.

Posted by in News, Nexus 10, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Tips & Tutorials
Last Updated: December 17th, 2012

Yeah, we know, Google goofed the Nexus 4 launch. It's a bummer. But if you didn't manage to get your order in, you can now obsessively check availability in your respective country using the Play Store Availability Checker. The site offers two view options: the whole Nexus device list for your respective country (link), or a list for a single device in all Play Store countries (link).

Not much else to say about that. Try to avoid the frantic refreshing, though - we wouldn't want this convenient tool to get F5'd into oblivion, would we?
