For smartphone users wanting a handset with a massive display for the extra screen real estate, there is only one choice as of the moment – the Samsung Galaxy Note. That massive display on the device is not the only claim to fame it has, the smartphone slash tablet hybrid also comes with impressive components under the hood that enables it to take the game to the bad boys of the smartphone competition. These two attributes are the main reasons for the popularity of the Samsung Galaxy Note – a popularity never experienced by the Dell Streak 5 which has the distinction of being the first smartphone slash tablet hybrid to enter the smartphone market a couple of years ago.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is on sale now starting at 99.99.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Note, the handset was released late last year and during its announcement, Samsung let it slip that there is the off chance that the phablet may not end up in US shelves. AT&T however was able to work with the Korean smartphone and tablet manufacturer in bringing the Samsung Galaxy Note to our side of the world where it was released early this year. Since then, the Samsung Galaxy Note became one of the bestselling devices over at AT&T.
If you happen to rock the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note and are already bored with the TouchWIZ-laden Android experience that came with it, you will be interested to know that the CyanogenMOD Teeam has already released a CyanogenMOD 10 Nightly version for the phablet for some serious customization and personalization option on your phablet. However, the flashing of these “nightlies” is only advisable if you happen to be a power user that has been tinkering with your smartphones for the longest time and will not get lost in the technicalities involved in hacking, rooting and flashing a custom ROM to your device. If you are however unsure of what the process is all about, you are better off sticking with what your Samsung Galaxy Note 4G came with because tinkering with you device is the surest and fastest way of saying adios to your warranty.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Note, the phablet is still a very capable and impressive device despite the impending arrival of its successor, the Samsung Galaxy Note II, which was just recently announced at the ongoing IFA 2012 in Berlin.
