While every carrier has given us some sort of heads up on an availability schedule for the Galaxy Note II, Verizon hasn’t said a word. Then, out of the blue, they begin taking pre-orders. Don’t expect to see any DROID RAZR marketing blitz for the Galaxy Note II, as it seems Verizon simply hates Samsung. Don’t believe me? Just look at the horrendous Verizon logo they stamped on the middle function button of the Note II. And don’t get me started on the non-existent marketing for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Nexus

Regardless of Verizon’s tendency to ignore any great phone that isn’t a DROID or RAZR, they will be carrying the Galaxy Note II. Just like AT&T, pre-orders start today, with the Note II costing $299.99 with a two-year contract. Full retail will set you back $699.99 and don’t expect to receive it anytime soon as the expected release date isn’t until November 27th!

As always, Verizon is last to the party and with Android 4.2 on the horizon, one has to wonder — how long will Verizon take with that. If you’re dead set on picking this beast up on Verizon, you can hit up the link below and pre-order it today.
