Over the last few months here at Phones Review, we’ve brought you many articles surrounding Samsung’s new Galaxy Note smartphone come tablet device. Packing a 5.3-inch display and Android Gingerbread OS, with Ice cream Sandwich to follow at a later date, we’ve spoken about its official specs, comparisons to other devices such as LG’s new Optimus Vu, an addition of a new pink colour and so on.

Today according to rethink-wireless.com, the new Sammy that touched down in Canada last week will now be coming to US shores. AT&T and Best Buy will now follow others in retailing the new device, with popularity for the Note already seen in Europe and the country of Korea.

In terms of its price, both carrier AT&T and retailer Best Buy will be offering the Note for $299.99 but users will have to sign up to a two-year contract. Specs wise, the Note will pack a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 4G LTE, 8MP rear camera with a 2MP to the front with the addition of a stylus for writing and drawing.

Colours available include white and a carbon blue.

Let us know if you are tempted by the new Samsung, or perhaps you prefer the specs of the new LG Optimus Vu?
