The wait is over. The Samsung GALAXY Note II LTE is now available in Singapore. Check out the pictures (provided by Samsung) on the huge turn out at various locations in Singapore. Maybe some of you might be inside those pictures.

Here are some selected quotes from the fans of the phone. I am sure Apple fans will be sour over this.
Alex Ng, 46, Singaporean (first in line – arrived at 8.30am, StarHub Plaza Singapura)
“I took leave to be here since 830am and I am excited to buy the GALAXY Note II LTE. I love the features of the new phone, especially the large screen with clear resolution. I’m also using the GALAXY Note 10.1 and that’s why I am switching to a Samsung phone too.”
Maggie Lee, 30, Singaporean (first few in line – arrived at 11am, StarHub Plaza Singapura)
“I’ve always loved to use Samsung phones so I believe that the GALAXY Note II LTE is the choice for me. I’ve considered an iPhone 5 as well but thought the Samsung GALAXY Note II LTE has better features. I’m also excited to get the accessories pack!”
Clarence Seow, 45, Singaporean (first in line – arrived at 2pm, SingTel ComCentre)
“I am very excited about the new features of the Samsung GALAXY Note II LTE. This will be my first Android phone and I’m sick and tired of my iPhone 5.”
Lawrence Gan, 44, Singaporean (first few in line, SingTel ComCentre)
“The Samsung GALAXY Note II LTE is the most highly anticipated smartphone. Many of my friends are already using the GALAXY Note. Paired with SingTel’s 4G, I think this will be a very fast and cool gadget.”
Ron, 33, Singaporean (first in line – arrived at 2pm, M1 Paragon)
“I love the S Pen as it will be very useful for me at work or leisure. I was previously using the iPhone 3GS, but I wasn’t keen in getting the iPhone 5. In terms of specifications, the GALAXY Note II LTE is so much better. Besides, I have been waiting for the Note II LTE since it was unveiled at IFA!”
Han, 29, Singaporean (first few in line, M1 Paragon)
“Many of my friends have recommended that I get Samsung phones. Besides, the phone is light despite its size. I like the GALAXY Note II LTE because it has a bigger screen than most of the other smartphones in the market. It will work well when I watch videos or play games on my phone. I didn’t want to get the iPhone 5 as I felt that the iPhone 5 was a disappointment, so I chose to switch to Samsung.”
Will the Samsung GALAXY Note II LTE outsell iPhone 5? I don’t have the answer 🙂
