So, we’ve had a press release from Samsung about the Galaxy Note. Usual stuff, like you’d expect, but at the bottom there’s an interesting bit of information…
The Samsung Galaxy Note White will initially be available exclusively from John Lewis with £250 of free music, films and e-Books for the first 100 customers. Additional channels will be launching during February 2012.
Yes, the white version is going to be exclusive to John Lewis. That’s John Lewis. I know, I know, they’re not exactly famous for the mobile devices… but hey. It’s a fairly short-term exclusive by the looks of it anyway, as other stores will be getting it soon enough.
No pricing information just yet but Handtec are charging £563.99 for the SIM-free unit. There’s nothing on the John Lewis website that we can see at the moment. If you do pop down John Lewis to get one, could you pick me up some socks? Ta.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE WHITE HITTING UK STORES TODAY
Samsung’s new Android device with advanced S Pen technology launching exclusively in John Lewis
20th January 2012, London, UK – Samsung has today announced the latest device to join its Galaxy range of devices, the Galaxy Note, will also be available to buy in the UK in white. Following the availability of the black Galaxy Note in UK stores back in November, customers will also be able to purchase the device in white exclusively from John Lewis on Oxford Street London from Monday 23rd January.
Simon Stanford, Managing Director, UK & IRE Telecommunications & Networks Division said: “At Samsung we always want to offer our customers choice and are delighted to bring the Galaxy Note in white to the UK. The Galaxy Note is an innovative addition to the Samsung Galaxy family and a new category of device that consumers can’t get anywhere else.”
The Galaxy Note combines the benefits of a notebook with the portability of a smartphone – so there’s no longer any need for customers to carry or switch between multiple devices when they’re out and about. Its 5.3” HD Super AMOLED screen is the largest and highest quality display available in any phone, which makes it the perfect device for viewing content such as movies, photos, and documents, and playing games.
An advanced pen-input technology called the S Pen and a full touch screen mean owners of the Galaxy Note can easily create and consume more content whilst on the go. What’s more, a series of new applications designed specifically for the S Pen are available for download from Samsung Apps.
The Samsung Galaxy Note White will initially be available exclusively from John Lewis with £250 of free music, films and e-Books for the first 100 customers. Additional channels will be launching during February 2012.
How much?
Cool note, thanks for the review!
