Same in gurgaon, none of the dealers have any idea about its launch or expected price. Will update as soon as some concrete info is available, request the same to all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guntas:
Does seem too good to be true, it might reach that price a few weeks after launch, but not initially. Anyhow, hoping for the best

Will do

Am checking to see if it's available online, to get an idea, normally Flipkart does show new products, but no joy this time

Mobile Store says no word on when they'll release...

Only got one solid response so far:

Orbit Cellular in Colaba says they'll have it from the 12th, he's quoting 32-35k, but doesn't have any details beyond that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I may get it on 8th Nov

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] loser:
Whats the store name in Seshadripuram ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
I am not sure about d name... He just said Samsung stores sheshadripuram... It's abt 12 kms away from his house, so he can't go there again now nd he will ask for d contact no. tmrw..... And I will post it here..

Can anyone confirm if the Indian GN is compatible with T-Mobile USA 3g bands?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
No it's not. From what I read, T-mobile 3g uses AWS, so you're down to just 2g on that. On At&T however, this international model will be able to use 3g.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
Good news...

It will b available at my state Kerala on 13th..

Jus for 33,000 confirmed...

And he has shops in Chennai and Bangalore too

So if we groupbuy, he told dat he can provide it for just 32.5k..

Maybe we can negotiate for more depending on d number of people

People who are interested pm me Der name and gtalk or yahoo or some other contact thingy...

I tried to update firmware via Kies USB. Kies did identify the firmware upgrade and downloaded it but once download finishes USB connection getting disconnected (can see on Main screen of kies) automatically and popup will come displaying firmware upgrade being prepared, after few min main kies screen will have connection back and it will again suggest to download the firmware (start from 0)and pop-up which showing 'firmware upgrade being prepared' will keep going forever.

I suspect that after download finishes once 'firmware upgrade preparation' pop-up coming and not finding device connected it's just getting stuck there.

is there anyone faced similar issue? or any suggestion?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
You can try those may help

NOTE: firmware update cannot be done if you connect the phone to the pc wireless only [bold]USB CONNECTION[/bold] works.

1. Update kies first.

2. Disable the antivirus till you upgrade the firmware

3. Run kies as administrator

4. Use windows Pc not Mac isn't working on mac at least kies has problem with apples

5. Restart phone

Last solution

6. Factory reset the phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] debsuvra:
What about the display issues? Mine is made in Vietnam and shows some gradients very awkwardly at times. Shall I return it? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
If you are not satisfied with it go on a shop check few other notes if they have the same issue and deside if you want to return it or not don't expect a answer from net especially for display issues it is to hard to say aka see, noticed which is your problem with the display.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
I did update mine day before yesterday.. and the differences. I have seen are these:

1. More smoother.. but still small lags here and there

2. Browser is a lil better...

3. Battery seems better too

4. When u go to the stock browser and chose the brightness/ colour option in the browser menu, you get four choices rather than one.. you got default, level 1,2,3 and 4 whereas in the stock browser you could only have an option to directly change your browser brightness setting..

Guyz, the white galaxy note is now available as well in India.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
me too very worried about the screen issue can't decide whether to buy it or not.

Plz guys suggest me should i go for it??? is it really a deal breaker????:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SAlmighty:
You won't find a "perfect" display. Its that simple, AMOLED Screen technology has its limitations as far as the manufacturing process is concern. Issues will vary in all displays. It depends how you look at the screen. I went to a couple of dealers, showed them display, and they couldn't find anything wrong. Go Figure, even the distributor here, who thinks he's very technically savvy, can't see anything wrong with my display. However, I can clearly see the lines at low brightness. Everything else is fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] debsuvra:
Can you put on this case with the flip cover on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] parthpatels007:
i bought it for 32.5k in first week of december
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
is the "lines" are only visible at low brightness? and is there any black spots in the screen??? if the lines are disappeared in the >30% brightness then its not a huge problem fr me. (guyz plz comment abt the sceen its urgent im buying it tomorrow).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
Once you see the lines and spots at 0% brightness, u will be able to find them even at 100% brightness.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
ohh nooooooo............should i forget about the NOTE and wait fr S3 to launch??:confused::confused:(for the same screen issue i had not bought the S2.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
The talk about all the lines is bu** sh*t.

yes there are somelines when the brightness is way down( like when u use screen filter app and have brightness at around 30% mark) , when i read in pitch back. ( may be 30 min before and after sleep , when i try not to disturb my good half.

However i see the lines only in a pages that are totally white.

It does not affect my usage in anyway

I would not hold back not getting a phone when some wired settings that i use cause a minor issue that i dont even notice.

Why dont we look at the more positive thing this phone has to offer

1. Best GPS phone ( better than standar gps) thanks to glonass support

2.Best oragnizer phone

3.Best specs for a phone now in the market.

4.excellent camera that challenges or even better than iphone or n8

5. Biggest screen size that is still pocketable.

6.Stylus support.

7. Reasonable battery life

8.Reasonable developer support.

9. i am sure i missed a lot here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
I bought and returned 3 galaxy notes, only the third one had lines, the 1st 2 had other issues but screen had absolutely no lines even at 0% brightness. So if your screen has lines and you are okay with it, good for you, but otherwise it's a defect due to poor QC of samsung. If everyone accepts this as normal then be assured samsung would never bother to rectify this issue and you may very well see these issues on galaxy s3 and other samsung's future devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:

can u plz tell me what are the things i should check at the rime of purchase??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sandeeppathak007:
Please if you could put some pics with the note on the case also share your review on this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
Hi Sandeep,

Sorry I didn't see your earlier post. If you want, I can share more pics once I get back home from work. At work, I don't have access to any good camera besides the one on my note.

As for the review: In short, the case is excellent. If I had a chance to change my purchase decision, I would buy this again.

The plastic from which it is made is very solid & feels very sturdy.

In terms of the cutouts for the various buttons, speaker etc, they are perfectly aligned. I had an apprehension before the purchase, but rest assured, the alignment is Perfect!

Initially, once I put the case on the Note, I felt there was some play & the phone felt as if it kept moving very slightly up/down inside the case. If I pressed on the sides, I also felt that the case made a creaking sound, as if there was some space between the phone & the insides of the case. However, I got over that issue by sticking some tape on the inside edges of the case. Since I have done that, the phone/case combo feels rock solid. No movement & no creaking. Rock solid. Its almost feels like its a part of the phone & not a separate accessory.

One more plus is that since I have put the case on, I don't inadvertently keep pressing the power & volume buttons anymore. It still happens sometimes, but the frequency has dramatically reduced.

The only negatives I can say are the following:

1. The case is very smooth & shiny. This makes the phone feel a bit slippery. Especially if you have sweaty hands.

2. The case is a fingerprint magnet. Unless you are wearing gloves, you will definitely get some fingerprints on it.

3. Since the case is shiny, I feel that after some heavy usage, it will get scratched & may look bad after some time. But I can't confirm that as of now.

Some pics attached... Sorry for the bad quality. These were taken with a Sony Xperia X8 in a low light environment.

Please have a look at the following link, mainly because pics are of better quality. All the pics shown here match perfectly with the actual product.

http://www.ebay.in/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:IN:1123#ht_5302wt_1139

PS: I doubt if you can use this with the Samsung flip cover. The case covers the left & right edges in order to get a grip on the phone. This wont allow the flip cover to open/close. Also, the case material is very tough. You can't cut it with a blade. What you are asking, can be done using a TPU GEL case. See the following post:

i hate that cover :P it makes ur phablet look like a table, and not a phone. and using it 1 handed get's challenging
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Strategist:
Interesting. I believe that the first 100,000 Notes were supposed to come with the flip cover which means that the Note may be nearing that sales number. Pretty good for the Indian market. I would bet it's beating the iPhone 4S hands down in India.

IMO the Note is hands down the coolest gadget in the world right now. And I am pretty chuffed that we received it early, at a decent price with a neat accessory thrown in for free. Over the years, Indian gadget fans have had to put up with so much crap, with long delays and ridiculous prices especially for Apple products. It's nice for a change that US posters here are talking about importing the Note from India !

The latest batch is Made in Vietnam, November 2011. The December batch won't arrive 'till 1st or 2nd week of January. There is no difference between November and October batch . Rather, November batch has less heating issue and better battery life, according to my experience with a few demo units (made in china october batch) from a few dealers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
finally i got the note today and yes its from December stock made in Vietnam(price 31k with flip case).i'm not very happy with it it has huge banding ... i can see banding every where even in the "lightness&...." video. though the horizontal lines are not visible till now(only used fr 1 hr) but i can see a net effect in every live wallpaper.

after using for a day i can see few horizontal line in the bottom part of the screen though the lines are hardly visible in any colors rather than grey(in low brightness) and it also has green hue. and my biggest concern is in videos and many places where light black or grey color is there its display them as negative (cant explain it properly).So guys plz suggest what to do?? should i go for replacement????is the negative issue is s/w issue ??

Since you find that the screen is defective, how does it matter what are the chances of receiving another defective piece? If the new one is also defective, get that replaced too. If its not, enjoy it. Simple.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
thanx fr the suggestion....since default lcd test (by pressing *#0*#) does not show any issue only "screen test" (with gray color) shows minute lines both horizontal and vertical lines so will decide tomorrow whether to replace or not(since there is a possibility that i may not get the flip case).

and one more thing every video i play on it its shows them blocky is it a s/w issue???

has any of you noticed that the note can recognize the stylus even without touching the screen... open a note, wait till the screen dims due to timeout, and then put the stylus close by about half a cm to the screen.. the note will recognize the stylus the screen will be back in full brightness..

Anyone bought a metal bumper?

Have bought five cases so far - some are TPU, other silicone. Have got a translucent one, white, glossy black, matte black... plus have the original flipcase.

But not happy with any. They add bulk to the device and also makes it look cheap.

Am keen on buying a bumper, instead. Just like the ones you get for iPhones. The only thing that is stopping me is the pricing. Above 30 dollars! That is way too much to pay for a strip of metal!
