Yeah, we know that T-Mobile’s take on the Samsung Galaxy Note is already officially official, but now its really super-duper official, and we’ve got all the gritty details. The magenta network is launching the Note on Aug. 8 for $249.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate (c’mon, stop it with those) and an industry-standard two-year contract. If you elect to go with one of T-Mobile’s Value Plans, it’ll cost you $199.99 up-front, and $20 installments thereafter until the handset is paid off.
As far as specs, it’s pretty much the same Note we’ve seen before, with a gigantic 5.3-inch 800×1280 screen, dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and the addition of a 42mbps HSPA+ radio for T-Mobile’s “4G” network.
