T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note leaks out, looks ready for launch

The Samsung Galaxy Note has turned out to be a success for Samsung and carve a “phablet” niche thanks to its experimental, 5.3-inch gargantuan display, and now the device seems ready to make its official entry on T-Mobile. A Galaxy Note with T-Mobile branding on top and a set of T-Mobile apps like T-Mobile Name ID, T-Mobile Mall, T-Mobile TV and My T-Mobile, has surfaced in pictures in the hands of TMoNews and all clues point to a nearing release date.

Good news is that the T-Mobile Galaxy Note comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich from the get-go. Now, there’s a shade of doubt left about this as with every other unofficial leak, but it’s more likely that this is real and coming soon. The model number of the leaked device was also revealed - it is the Samsung SGH-T879.

T-Mobile is still mum on the actual price and release date, but we bet we’d be hearing more about them soon, so stay tuned. Hit the source link for all the images of the T-Mo Galaxy Note.

Amazing phone. I would have totally gotten it had it come to Sprint too.

In my opinion i probably won't get this device due to the impending release of the sgs3 but if it wasn't about to be announced then i would if this thing had the exynos

I wish they cram an Exynos in there I would bite from my international model, because I hate ATT

While I congratulate T-Mobile and it's customers, I have to say: DAMN YOU VERIZON! DAMN YOU TO HELL! YOU SONS A BITCHES!

I love VZW and normally I would defend them in situations like this...but since we're talking about the Note, I have to agree. What the f*ck do we have to do to get VZW to see that we want this damn phone? I have NEVER been envious of any AT&T customer until the Note came out, and it's making me think, "How bad could AT&T service really be?"

Whateverman, honestly, I am a customer of VZW since 2002. I like the service because I believe it's the best but in this case, I'm so angry that every carrier was negotiating with Samsung to carry it. Verizon is the only one that has kept silent. WTF? I heard there is a petition out in change.org to get the Note to come to VZW. I signed it and originally, I read the goal was 5000 signatures after a month or so, I saw that now the goal is 10,000 signatures. WTF? Just send out the petition already. I have already stated that I am going to give VZW till years end to get their act together and get the Note. My contract ends October so I will give it till end of December. If I hear of nothing, I'm going to AT&T. For the record though, if Verizon came out with an announcement that they are going to get the Note 2 or something like that, then I'll stay but they are getting on my last nerves. Seriously.

Man with my luck Verizon won't even get the Galaxy S3. Good thing my good ol Droid X is still kicking lol

Brother, I'm on the Samsung Fascinate and trust me, Verizon is notorious for not getting a great upcoming phone like the S3. I am praying for the Note and the S3 to come to VZW. If both came to VZW in an ideal world, man, it would rule the world!

The funny thing is that even without the note, Big Red still rules them all. However I'm praying that they don't pass on the S3 and say that the Droid Fighter or the Maxx HD or w.e it is called is their new big phone. I'll be greatly disappointed.

The Galaxy Note is a great addition to the average T-Mobile lineup. Now, hopefully T-Mobile is a carrier for the next Nexus device.

It is a great day to rejoice if your with T-Mobile but for us Verizon customers, it's a sad day because our company is the only company that is too stupid to talk to Samsung about this phone.
