T-Mobile confirms Samsung Galaxy Note II, available in Titanium Gray and Marble White

Not like we all didn’t know that T-Mobile was going to be offering the Samsung Galaxy Note II. We saw a few leaks images of the device in the wild sporting T-Mobile branding and we know Samsung is going to be pushing to as many carriers as possible at once, much like they did with the Galaxy S II. For those of you that had any doubts of good old magenta bringing the latest and greatest from Samsung to your hands, you can officially put those fears to rest.

In an announcement made today by T-Mobile, they confirm that they will be carrying the Note II. They list of some of the specs like the 5.5-inch screen, quad-core Exynos processor at 1.6GHz, a 3,100 mAh battery with 15 hours of talk time and Jelly Bean 4.1. They also do a little bit of talking about additional software that they will have preloaded. Such as a racing game that will be exclusive to the T-Mobile Note II and is optimized to interact with MOGA™ Mobile Gaming System, which is said to bring immersive console quality gaming to the palms of T-Mobile customers. We have no idea what the game title is called though.

At the bottom of the release they mention the two color options that will be available at launch. You will be able to choose from a Titanium Gray, which we assume was that cool looking gun-metal looking color we saw in the leaks earlier, and then a Marble White color. Now we just need pricing and release date. They do mention that is it expected to land nationwide via all sales channels in ‘coming weeks’. Hopefully that means by the end of October.
