They rehash the fact that they were the first carrier to offer the original Note for $199.99. not sure if that means they have plans to bring the Note II down to gain a new customer and contract edge in the future or not, but they sure do point out that fact. A quick run down of hardware and software makes the release as well. You know, 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, 8mp camera with flash, 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos processor, Share Shot and S Beam. Nothing we all haven’t heard a billion times.
