It might be smack-bang in the middle of that awkward zone — neither phone sized nor a proper tablet — but the stylus-equipped Samsung Galaxy Note is selling in its droves; at least in Australia, according to the Australian cut-price electronics entrepreneur, Ruslan Kogan, talking exclusively to Giz UK.
Kogan said that he’s seeing the Galaxy Note selling hand-over-fist – more than the iPhone in fact. Now that’s a lot of phablets.
Given the volume that Kogan ships, it’s a fair indication of the overall sales down-under. Whether the same is true in the UK (I highly doubt it), Samsung’s sales figures might come as a bit of a shock. My guess is that Asia loves it due to the ability to draw in their non-Latin characters – it’s a lot easier to sketch out logograms with a stylus than attempt to bash them out with a poor substitute keyboard.
No wonder the Koreans are taking the phablet and turning it into a proper stylus-equipped 10-inch tablet. And there we thought it was only “artists” buying them up.

I’ve neevr seen one in the wild yet, I too don’t think it’ll be popular in the UK.
Anyway, everyone knows that if it has a stylus then it’s a failure. So says lord Jobs.
He must be spinning in his grave knowing that the Note is single-handedly out selling the iPhone somewhere.
you need two hands to carry that beast
That’s what she said – Badum-tish!!!
I’ll get my coat.
Close the door on your way out.
Not any more he doesn’t and anyway, he’d only say that until such a time as he released a phone/tablet with a stylus, then it would be “magical” and “revolutionary”.
I’m glad the note is doing well, the yanks were also surprised by the sales numbers when it launched there. it just goes to show, choice is a good thing and letting anyone tell you what you do and don’t want isn’t
I saw one the other day. At first i thought “that’s a small arse tablet!” Then i realised it was the note.
I kept looking at him to see whether he would put it away in his pocket or if he has to carry around a purse to hold it, but unfortunately I got off the train before him .__.
He was very fat, so im guessing he would palm a normal phone with his fat fingers if he tried to phone or text someone.
I’m looking for a new phone an seriously considering this device.
Do it. I got mine in January and haven’t looked back. It’s a great device and if you’re concerned about the size then don’t be. It’s big, yes, but the thought of having a smaller phone feels daft after owning it.
Getting rid of the Desire huh
Maybe you should wait a few days and see what the Galaxy S III will bring.
I was going to get one this month but got a “New” iPad instead but still considering one. Funnily enough it’s the stylus that attracts me.. HA, take that Jobs !!
Let me just say that the stylus would make playing Draw Something much easier.
The only place where I have seen galaxy notes is stacked up on store shelves
Steve Jobs was wrong. The ultimate electronics interface is not a slab of glass that you tap with your index finger.
The ultimate electronics interface will be one that allows you to gloop and form an object like wet clay, or experience the rough burn of a old worn rope on the palm of your hand, or one that will allow you to precisely etch a fine drawing like a sharpened pencil on parchment.
