Samsung today announced the commercial availability of GALAXY Note in the European market starting from Germany in November. The GALAXY Note will be available with major operators including Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefonica, and Vodafone in Europe. GALAXY Note features a 5.3" HD Super AMOLED display. Additionally, an advanced pen-input technology, called the S Pen, combines with GALAXY Note's full touch screen.

The incorporated digital S Pen can be used for accurate sketching and artwork, while handwriting recognition allows ideas to be freely captured and shared with other devices without the need to perform any additional digitization; handwritten text is converted into digital characters.

Together with commercial availability of GALAXY Note, Samsung also announced the launch of 'S Choice', a new category menu under the Samsung Apps, with applications specially designed for GALAXY Note's S Pen feature. New applications offering will include Soonr Workplace, OmniSketch, Zen Brush, ComicBook!, and iAnnotate PDF. Soonr Workplace enables team collaboration by allowing direct annotation on the various file formats stored in the Soonr Cloud and iAnnotate PDF provides a direct annotation mode for S Pen over PDF file. OmniSketch and Zen Brush are useful tools for free sketch and drawing. OmniSketch enables users to sketch drawings using the S Pen as a brush, while Zen Brush provides oriental brush simulation.



GALAXY Note's 1.4GHz dual-core processor ensures the device is fast. Fast network speeds are enabled through the HSPA or LTE-enabled device's connection.
