The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has plenty of power, a massive screen and all the features you could ever want out a phone (except maybe a 1080p display). The bad news? Getting this kind of power doesn’t come cheap.

If you would love to get your hands on the Note 2 but don’t want to pay a fortune, you’ll be happy to know that the phone can now be yours for a limited time for just $99.99 including shipping. Unfortunately there is a catch here– Sprint in the carrier. This might not be a problem for some, but with limited coverage in some parts of the United States, it might not be the ideal choice for everyone.

It’s also worth noting that existing Sprint customers are not eligible for this deal, and will instead have to pay $199.99. Way to reward loyalty, huh?

Anyhow, if you want the Note 2 and are okay with switching to Sprint, you should jump on this quickly. It is worth noting that this is offered through Amazon Wireless, and not Sprint directly.

It seems that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is getting a makeover. Starting on January 17th in Korea, the Galaxy Note 2 is getting two new colors: “ruby wine” and “amber brown”.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has been a major seller in Korea and abroad, so its no surprise to see them branching out with a few special color choices. The big question is whether or not the new colors will ever see the light of idea outside of South Korea.

What do you think, do you like the new color choices for the Note 2 or not?

Since Samsung’s launch of the Galaxy Note II last September, it has been nothing less than a huge success.  In South Korea alone, there have been more than one million sales.  This only one month after Samsung had announced global sales reaching and exceeding five million units.

With these numbers, Samsung is on track to take the device sales to 10 million internationally by the end of Q1 2013.  This would be impressive, especially when taking into account that it took its predecessor nearly 10 months to reach the same milestone.

LG has also reported very similar domestic sales for its 5 inch Optimus Vu, but with one big difference. LG is counting both the Vu and Vu 2 sales in South Korea– whereas the Note 2 is just the Note 2, and nothing else.

What do you think of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2? Want one or not?

Have an international version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, or more specially model GT-N7100? Exciting news, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean is now available for your downloading pleasure.

As mentioned already, this is the international version of the Note 2. For those on contract in the U.S., you will likely have to wait quite a bit longer to get your hands on Android 4.1.2.

With the latest version comes the ability to disable multi-view alongside a new ink effect on the lock screen, Swype-style typing, new items in notifications toggles and a customizable notification panel.

Even if you are pretty sure you don’t have GT-N7100, it might be worth manually checking for an update and seeing if you happen to have an update waiting for you. Has anyone managed to grab the update to 4.1.2 for their Note 2 yet? If so, what do you think so far?
