So we know the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is headed to SMART and Globe. Big deal! You’ll be locked to their network if you get the new Note from them.

Your best choice would be to go the unlocked route. Get it direct from Samsung or some authorized retailer and NOT from the two rivaling networks. If this is your battle plan, then here are the two important tidbits you should take note off – Philippine pricing and availability of the Galaxy Note II.

So, how much?

SRP of the Samsung Galaxy Note II is Php32,990. It’s pricey, but still within reason. Remember, the original Note debuted at a much higher price, and this one definitely packs more muscle power than its predecessor.

When will it hit Philippine stores?

The Samsung Galaxy Note II will have a grand launch on October 20 at the SM Mall of Asia. Meaning, it should either be available for your buyin’ pleasure on that day or the day after.

With all the cards out now on the table, what route will be taking? Go SMART? Go Globe? Or go unlocked?
