Samsung has revealed that the 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note will hit the UK's shops on 17 November, putting rumours that it wouldn't launch the handset in the UK to rest.
That leaves plenty of time for Santa and his elves to pick up the handset, which was the darling of IFA 2011, before Christmas Day.
The Samsung Galaxy Note will be available across major networks – although none have yet staked their claim on the smartphone-tablet hybrid – as well as high street and mass market retailers.
Note-able
Over in Berlin, we swooned over the Note's 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED screen and 1.4GHz dual-core processor in our hands on Samsung Galaxy Note review.
We were also intrigued by the inclusion of the S-Pen, which Samsung calls "advanced pen-input technology" and we call a stylus.
"We're delighted with the overwhelming reception the Galaxy Note has received since it was announced earlier this month and are looking forward to offering Samsung customers a whole new smartphone experience," said Simon Stanford, MD of mobile at Samsung UK.
"The Galaxy Note is… our fastest handset to date and brings together all the benefits of our award-winning smartphone technology and services."

8. @bradavon Not everyone uses a smartphone like that. Personally, I only make calls with the phone to my head about once a month. A lot of the calls are either (a) made via bluetooth integration with the car, (b) made via bluetooth earpiece, or (c) using speakerphone.
It's far more important for me that it's as big a screen as possible while still being able to fit in a shirt/jacket pocket.
An Android device for me is a convergence device that when needed can make calls too. I'd be perfectly happy keeping my old Razr V3 around for calls, and my Android for everything else.
I'll hold off my buying decision until I've had a Note in my grubby hands first though. Until this came around, the Samsung S2 was my #1 upgrade candidate. Adding another inch worth of screen is a great idea.

6. Imagine one of these stuck to the side of someone's face. It's gonna be a right laugh to watch people trying to use one and not look like a **** at the same time.
The author of this photo must be laughing so hard at the irony: http://bit.ly/qjI5pN.

4. This could seriously make me retire my Nexus One phone and Galaxy Tab 7" and have phone/tab convergence.
