I have no idea how it works in the EU, but a lot of US carriers do exclusivity deals with phone companies. The iPhone was only on one service for a while, before the contract expired and they sold the phones to other carriers. It's probably the same with the note, and Sprint/AT&T forked over a lot of money to be the only ones with the phone for a while. Thus, limited sales. And, I haven't seen many ads for them on the TV or anywhere else.

 

Again, I would have bought a note if verizon had them available in my area.

I like the Note.. a lot.

 

I am actually stuck for 1,5 yr before i can upgrade to my next tho. I am lucky enough I got the SGS 2 whic is a wonderful phone and I love. it will be a top notch phone for the next year, but here tech is getting fast and being locked for 2 yrs on the same device is not exactly the best way to go.

 

However, i wonder if these stupid providers should review their policies. I thought the most important aspect of business was keeping money rolling, therefore they should be happy for me to change phone and give them more money at least once per year.

 

true, not everyone get so nuts for new tekkies, but they should give the option.. like... "buy it at $100 with 2 yrs contract OR at $150 for 1yr contract"

 

They would never 'lose" anyway.... and i guess i would be ok paying a bit more with the option to roll more often to newer tech :)
