T-Mobile is the first US carrier to offer up the new Samsung Galaxy Note II and let me tell you… it ain’t cheap. Anyone willing to sign a 2-year contract can nab a subsidized Galaxy Note for $369.99, while anyone brave enough to go full retail can grab it for $649.99. It certainly is a nice device, however, I’d have to wait on a deal before thinking about adding it to my arsenal.

Wirefly is at it again! Last week they brought us the DROID RAZR HD and MAXX HD at the stroke of midnight for well below Verizon’s price, and tonight, they’ll be offering up the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note II — and you can bet it’ll be less than T-Mobile’s price.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note II U.S. launch event is scheduled to take place in NYC tomorrow night, and so we’re starting to see more carriers out its availability. We’ve seen leaks suggesting T-Mobile will launch the Note II that same day, and Sprint has announced availability for the 25th, however, AT&T won’t be launching it until Nov. 9th. Official word from Ma Bell prices the device at $299.99 with a 2-year contract and a launch date of Novemeber 9th. All you eager beavers will have the opportunity to pre-order starting October 25.

We already heard from Sony today, why not Motorola next? Motorola has made a few changes to their list of devices that are scheduled to receive Android 4.1 and you might find a few surprises.

Sony has taken to its blog to give users a better idea on the status of Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and which devices they plan on updating. According to the post, Sony’s latest smartphone models: Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V, will all begin to receive the upgrade to Jelly Bean from mid-Q1 2013. After that, the global versions of Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will all be upgraded to Android 4.1 (no set time frame given).
