Available colors will be Mountain White and Titanium Gray. MicroSD card expansion is also in tow. What is a bit odd is that the Note II sports a lower pixel destiny than the original Note but uses a non-PenTile display which should alleviate the issue.
Also, at the unveiling, Samsung also confirmed that the Note 10.1 and Galaxy S III "very soon". Not quite the August 29th we expected but we'll take it. Surprisingly, the original Note wasn't mentioned by name but was put up on the Jelly Bean slide with the Note 10.1 and Galaxy S III.
No word on Canadian availability, but we expect it to hit Canadian shelves relatively soon after the global launch.
