A few weeks back we announced that Mobicity were taking pre-orders for the new Samsung Galaxy Note II. It seems they now have them in stock available for purchase, well ahead of their expected date of October 16th. Interestingly, the date isn’t the only change from when we previously reported on this. The listed price is now $829, $20 lower than at the time of pre-order and with free shipping at the moment.

Sporting a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 processor, 2GB RAM, a 5.5″ Super AMOLED display @ 1280 x 720 and newer S pen technology, the Samsung Galaxy Note II has received vast hardware improvements across the board from it’s predecessor and now also ships with Jelly Bean out of the box.

We do plan to get our hands on one ourselves and will be reviewing it once it arrives.
