[Galaxy Note II General] vinaymonu25:
actually im too confused between white & grey...had s3 blue which was quite ok not that good as black would have been...used many handsets till date but never used a white smartphone yet...though had a small white samsung deluxe duos for a month which i think attracted dust too quickly but as note2 has hyperglaze covering over a polycarbonated plastic back cover i think it shouldn't attract dust or shouldn't turn into a dim white after a month or two....anybody here who have used s3 white and can guide me to choose a color for my note2??? i mean s3 white after using a month or two does it go dull or is it as good as new??? plz help me
[Galaxy Note II General] dryspuri:
personally i would go for grey, simply because dont like white that much!!

they wot be dirty at all
[Galaxy Note II General] VR.gtmini:
Yep, shiney grey is my preferred choice, BTW who knows what's in the pockets of Samy to reveal more colors *

Anyone know what does Airview feature do exactly........There is so much hype about this feature
[Galaxy Note II General] nimish.saraogi:
Airview is just a small preview feature for supported stock apps, n maybe it will be supported by some third parties too on development.

It simply gives us a preview of an email, gallery, preview of the video timeline, and the best part according to me with the airview is the capability to interact with flash based websites, drop down features ( Flash Based ) to be precise..

Now we can literally use a mouse like cursor!! thanks to airview...
[Galaxy Note II General] saurabh.2561:
It lets you enjoy many features by keeping your s-pen little above the screen(without touching the screen)...main features are---

- a full working mouse cursor, very useful for browsing, makes browsing more like in pc(putting cursor on something without clicking)(best feature in my opinion)

- view of photos in a folder in gallery

- video screenshots

- except these we can wait for developers to add many features.
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
Air view will be awesome for websites where menus are activated by mouse over.

anyone know the dealer price or mop ?

somebody here who is among the dealers to tell us when exactly stock will be made available into retail stores & what the market prices will be
[Galaxy Note II General] vinaymonu25:
online price being quoted is 40k !!!

http://www.univercell.in/buy/Samsung/Galaxy_Note_II_N7100

http://www.91mobiles.com/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-price-in-india

40k looks abit more to me when s3 is at 34k...when note1 was launched i bought it for 30k on first day and at that time s2 was priced 28k in shops so 2k difference was acceptable but now there seems a gap of 6k which i think is too much

what u ppl think?
[Galaxy Note II General] Sourabh007:
I dont think too much..

I buy it when its 4-6 months old..

den the price is dropped enough

and quiet bit of alpha development is done..

so everything is in beta/stable stages..and rooting makes sense..:=D

BTW awesome device..bt still I'll w8 for the next nexus..which makes sense buying it at the release date..as google supports directly and I like stock Google experience rather than TouchWiz..thats just the way I roll :cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] exynoss:
I think the price Of Note 2 will be the same as S3 ( may may be 1K more ) Because there is no competition between these two devices..............They both made for different type of customers.......

I know some of u think Note 2 should be more expensive because it has large display but if take this type of method that bigger display means more expensive according to this theory Galaxy note 10.1 N8000 should be cost 80,000 rs :p because it has almost double display size of Note 2....but the realty is N8000 cost is only 38000 rs.
[Galaxy Note II General] JulyDerek:
I agree.

But for the first couple of weeks, you will see a lot of demand for the Note 2 and retailers will take advantage of this and charge a premium over the normal price.
[Galaxy Note II General] exynoss:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 UK Release Date — It’s shipping next week. £528 Price for unlocked Note 2.

Means if we convert that in rupees then £528 = 45000 rs :eek::eek: Too much for a mobile device
[Galaxy Note II General] JulyDerek:
If it costs more than 38000, will probably stay with my current Note till prices drop.

But I asked a few big retailers. They said it should be at around 37000. As much as the SG3.

40K is a big psychological level here for us, if it is above that at any cost, many people will wait and the demand will thereof be lesser than expected here, hence the best price is obviously 36 - 38,

With the Samsung event happening at Hyderabad on the 27th, I suppose they'll disclose the pricing and the final availability dates to all the retailers and Samsung stores too..

One of my acquainted Samsung store guy told me that it will be available before the 1st.. But i din buy that coz there are still no advertisements here in India, it'll all probably start after the disclosure on the 27th.

Anyone visiting this event on the 27th???

[Galaxy Note II General] vinaymonu25:
that price is inclusive 20% vat excluding vat its £440=38087inr and in india never an electronic item sells for mrp...so in india the dealers will sell it below 38k mark to retailers excluding vat which again including vat will come around 39k or 40k to the final customer....still i feel when note1 had a difference of 2k when compared to market price of s2 on launching day of note1 then why note2 is being priced 6k more when compared to market price of s3???

Its a buzz here about the prices being close to 38K, some of the Samsung stores are not even acquainted with the phone yet, and the pricing to them seems a big headache, however the Mobile Store guys have more information though and one of them have told me today itself that you can get the device within the next week at a discounted price. The Samsung retailers will not provide a discount though but i don't know how the mobile store guys can comply to this..whatever the case is.. we are waiting for the device itself...

Check the link.... its IN STOCK @ 39990,

Obviously the price in stores will be very much lower.. till 38 I suppose..

he has always given me the best price when compared to other members here...

[Well what they said is truth or not I will wait]

Also, I asked if we book @37500 rs and if price rose will you sell it at the mentioned price?

They said: We will try to keep the price as low as possible, but we will notify you about the price change.
