Finally the wait is over the Samsung “something new is here“, the Samsung Galaxy Note launched today for a price band of Rs. 34,990 in India. The display screen is slightly bigger than normal smartphones but smaller than the tablets available in the market. This makes the Galaxy Note a perfect hybrid and well it does come with a pen oops an S Pen to be precise.

We knew the Galaxy Note was coming to India on 2nd November and there was nothing new about it. The S Pen (stylus) is particularly interesting because it will give better control when scribbling, editing pictures and taking notes, ah well that’s why this tablet is called the Note.

Will you buy it? But do have a look at Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 7.7 or the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Getting an in hand experience of the Galaxy Note before you buy is something which is hard to find in India. Well it’s all blah blah until the box pack is opened, but this also means you have bought it and no turning back.
