Why doesn't Rogers have this phone today?? I've called 4 Rogers stores and none of them got their shipments!!

I called a GANG of stores in my city today.

Only bestbuy/futurshop had stock (one each)

Rogers stores only had the phones that were pre-ordered by the customers.

All of them were BLACK. I'm looking for white, so it looks like i'll continue to play the waiting game :-)

How much RAM does the Rogers LTE really have? Bell site says 512MB. I'd rather buy Int. version with 1GB RAM.

I went to the Eaton's Center (Toronto) where Samsung had set up a Galaxy Note display with a couple of "street artistis" using Galaxy Notes to draw sketches of people. Neat. I was also able to play with the Note as well and my number one thought is:
DAM! This thing is HUGE!
My next thought is "This thing is feather lite" followed by "This thing is HUGE!"

I like it!

Yes. It's definitely 1gb of ram.

Still can't find any of these phones anywhere!! Nobody has gotten their shipments of them yet in my area!!

My husband gone his at a Rogers in Cambridge, they had 3. He was the first one asking for it. One downside though is we can't find an Otterbox for it.. which he needs!! It's the only reason his iPhone lasted so long

I've been teasing my husband since he got it over how big it is. This is right after we got it next to his iPhone 3... I had to take a photo as it was so ridiculously big.. He jokes that the case will be a backpack.

I do have to say that the screen is amazing! It's really brilliant colours and so easy to read and get around... That would just be too big for my pocket .. I don't think I can go bigger than my iPhone 4

I wonder who pays the hospital bills for the guys that slip them into their pockets and then sit down. I think 'Crushed nut syndrome' might become a part of the lexicon for Samsung Note owners.

Saw today they are planning the Note 10.1. I guess that is to make it clear to the people kidding themselves that this is a phone that it is in fact a tablet.

Do you live in the boonies somewhere?
I've seen it in the GTA.

I have an unlocked Bell LTE Galaxy Note that I am trying to get working on the Rogers LTE network but am unable to. To add to that, when my phone is on H+ (HSPA) the voice and data keep cycling from on to off every few seconds rendering the phone useless.

I Have a Rogers LTE SIM and LTE 6GB plan.

Rogers is telling me that the IMEI needs to be registered with them for LTE to work but they can't do it as this is a Bell phone.

I'm wondering if Bell's LTE frequency is the same as Rogers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
