Last we heard about the availability of the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Note II on Australian carriers was a possible launch on Optus in December. We’re now hearing rumours that all three of the major carriers will launch the Galaxy Note II in November albeit as a staggered release with Optus first out of the gate offering it as of the 5th of November seemingly with a two week exclusive. Next up will be Vodafone launching it on the 19th of November followed a week later by Telstra on the 26th of November. The launch will be for both white and Grey options on 2 year contracts although no further plan information or pricing is available.
I`m not totally sure as to the advantage of Vodafone launching the phone given their current lack of a 4G network but it does still have 3G radios as well. The anticipation for the Note II launch has been pretty high with many requests for information regarding its launch. We’ll know soon enough, if these dates are legit then we should be getting a launch event invite very soon.
