UK: Samsung rolling out Galaxy Note Android 4.0 ICS

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.

Samsung has started rolling out Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) to Galaxy Note owners in the UK, the company has confirmed to The INQUIRER.
It's not all good news. The update is only available to those who forked out for a SIM free Samsung Galaxy Note, as those who have a network locked handset will have to wait for the carrier's approval.
In a statement, Samsung explained, "Samsung UK can confirm that the [Android 4.0] Ice Cream Sandwich update for Galaxy Note has been released and will be available when approved across the networks."
We've been in touch with the mobile networks for update timings, but are still waiting to hear back at the time of writing.
The Android 4.0 ICS update for the Samsung Galaxy Note brings a number of tweaks to the 5.3in 'phablet' device. As well as the usual reworked user interface and Face Unlock feature, the Note will be treated to a bundle of "premium" content, including a card-making app called S Story, a tweaked S Note app for "advanced note-taking" and exclusive Angry Birds Space content.
The update, which is about 320MB, is available to download via Samsung's PC software suite Kies.

Samsung announced earlier this week that it will air its first-ever commercial during this year’s Super Bowl, which is set for this Sunday Feb 5, 2012  in the USA. With this ad, the Korean handset maker plans to rise the excitement around its new Samsung Galaxy Note phablet.

The Galaxy Note was confirmed by AT&T for February 19, but customers will be able to pre-order the smartphone beginning February 5 for $299.99 (230 EUR) with a new two-year agreement.

Although the content of the commercial has yet to be revealed, Samsung mentioned that part of the ad was shot with Galaxy Note’s 8-megapixel rear camera.

Today, Samsung released a teaser showing half of the 90 seconds commercial that will be aired during the 4th quarter of Super Bowl. On a side note, Samsung’s ad will be one of the longest aired during this huge sport event.

Samsung Galaxy Note™ arrives in carbon blue and ceramic white at AT&T* stores beginning Feb. 19 for $299.99 with a two-year agreement. 

 The release date is now official. Pre-orders for the 5.3-inch “phablet” with the S-Pen stylus will begin on Feb. 5, while store availability is slated for Feb. 19. The Galaxy Note’s on-contract pricing is $300 USD.

The  Galaxy Note is a 4G LTE phone, it’s understandable that AT&T would price the Note higher than not phone/tablet devices to make that differentiation.

DALLAS, Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Key Facts

• Previously announced at AT&T's Developer Summit leading up to the International Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, the Samsung Galaxy Note™ arrives in carbon blue and ceramic white at AT&T* stores beginning Feb. 19 for $299.99 with a two-year agreement. 
• Customers excited to get their hands on this dream device even earlier can pre-order at http://www.att.com/galaxynote or any AT&T company-owned retail store beginning Sunday, Feb. 5 for delivery by Feb. 17.
• The Galaxy Note combines the best features of a smartphone with the larger viewing screen of a tablet and advanced technology in the S Pen™ -- delivering an all-in-one device that allows users to work more efficiently and maintain productivity, while communicating in a unique, personal way.

• It also includes a smart professional planning tool that makes full use of the device's large screen. The calendar integrates the phone's to-do list and schedule; control and navigation is intuitive, helping customers comprehensively organize their lives.
• An easy screen-capture function also allows users to instantly save any screen, which can also be annotated with the S Pen before being saved or shared.
• Users can communicate in personal, creative ways expanding beyond traditional sharing methods with the Galaxy Note.
