Samsung has announced this evening that they’ve shipped a surprising five million Galaxy Notes in only five month’s time. The 5.3-inch phablet has received a lot of attention from Samsung, ever since it was launched overseas in October. Samsung touted the larger screen and stylus, and even showed it off during the Super Bowl.

The Galaxy Note has yet to see the long-awaited Android 4.0 update that many users have hoped for. However, that hasn’t stopped customers from purchasing it.

Galaxy Note shipments received a nice boost after its stateside launch on AT&T earlier this year, and apparently the large screen stylus combo of yesteryear is appealing to quite a few people.

How about you, are you a fan of the Galaxy Note and its 5.3-inch glory?
