Sprint has begun rolling out its first software update for the recently released Samsung Galaxy Note II. Update L900VPALJC brings with it a few bug fixes as well as the much anticipated Multi View feature which allows users to run two apps at the same time with convenient access to both via a multi window view. It’s an amazing feature that pushes true mobile multitasking to its limits.
According to a source who spoke with Android Central, Rogers is preparing to announce an all new plan structure come tomorrow. A quick glance at the flyer depicting the new plans shows the familiar “unlimited talk” sell. Now that customers have become more data hungry and less dependent on voice, carriers have switched to offering “unlimited” voice and less data (yea, I know) — pawning the “unlimited” voice off as a value (when everyone knows it’s not).
Communication during and after a devastating event such as Hurricane Sandy can be crucial. Not only does it open the lines between yourself and emergency personnel, but it also allows for loved ones to know how you are doing. That’s why AT&T and T-Mobile have entered into an agreement to enable roaming on their networks to customers of both companies in the New York/New Jersey area affected by hurricane Sandy.
Sprint certainly dragged its feet today when releasing the Galaxy Note II. It took a bit of time but it’s finally available to purchase for $299.99 when signing a two-year contract. That’s $70 less than what T-Mobile is offering it for and on par with the rest of carriers. If you’re looking to grab it for full retail, it’ll set you back $649.99
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
