From Yonhap News in Seoul:
SEOUL, Jan. 26 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co., the world's second-largest maker of mobile phones, said Wednesday that it has sold more than 2 million units of the Galaxy Tab tablet computer within three months of its global debut.
Samsung achieved the sales figure this week as the company sells the 7-inch, Android-running tablet through some 200 mobile carriers in 94 countries, the company said.
The Tabites are growing in numbers!!
(There are 3 kinds of Galaxians:
Essians who have a form of the Galaxy S
Tabites who have a form of the Galaxy Tab
Players who have a form of the Galaxy Player (not yet seen))
Cool deal! More tablets means more developers writing more cool stuff. I see TV ads for them every night...hopefully next week they're at 3 million.
I wonder how many Galaxians there are.

Samsung Galaxy Note launched in India with a MRP. of Rs.34990/- and will be available everywhere within a weeks time starting today. Also the first 100,000 units will come with a free complimentary leather case worth 2200/-.

I'm more interested in the price, considering Maharashtra has the highest tax slab on electronics and mobile devices.

Well m also very much interested in buying it, it seems to be a dream phone, and we can also go for a group buy for better pricing.

Well let it launch once, one way is, we all indian members can enquire for the cheapest group buy prices in our cities and order from wherever we get it most cheap.
Ah well, I already ordered mine from Germany.

Actually I got it from eBay, the seller had decent reviews so I thought what the heck. I couldn't get it ordered from online German retailers since the only one which could ship to India was charging me 290 Euro for shipping. It is set to be shipped today and then delivered within 3-5 business days, hope it goes well.
EDIT : It was 820$(USD) plus 79$ for shipping. I'm not sure what the import duty will be, but I'll deal with it.
good luck with indian customs ... im sure saale bahut jyaada charge karenge tujhko .. all the best !
I only had to pay 14% for my ipad 2, it can't be more than that. Plus I chose fedex which has there own custom clearance department so it gets processed faster.

That's still so expensive..smh.. hope its price is lower when it launches in India.. 40k+ Rs is just too much.. its supposed to be a hybrid of galaxy tab 750 and a galaxy s2.. so ithe price is supposed to be in between.. but since Samsung doesn't want to interfere in the sell of the new galaxy tab, it is costlier.. and besides there is still no other product in d phoblet department to compete with the galaxy note.. so its goin to be expensive here too ,I guess
It's supposed to arrive today

For how much nd from where..? do u hav to pay vat if u ship it from germany to India?
There is hardly an element of surprise here, given the fact that most US carriers announced it a few hours ago. AT&T Wireless will also begin taking pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S III on June 6.The LTE sporting smartphone will be priced at $199.99 with a two-year commitment for a 16GB version - right in line with what the other carriers will be asking for it. Curiously enough though, there might not be a 32GB version on offer. Instead, AT&T sales representatives will offer you a 16GB microSD card for an extra $39.
AT&T will also offer the handset in an exclusive red color scheme at some point this summer. This makes the carrier the most patriotic among its counterparts, as it will offer its Samsung Galaxy S III lineup in the same colors as the US flag.
"In case you still haven’t purchased a Galaxy S3, the best-sold Android handset to date and one of Samsung’s 2012 flagship products, you may want to do so tomorrow, as Best Buy is ready to offer you the device for just $49.99.
This isn’t the first time Best Buy is discounting the Galaxy S3, and just like before, the deal will be available for a limited time – in this case just this Sunday.
Naturally, in order to take advantage of the deal, you’ll still have to sign a new two-year agreement with the carrier of your choice – in this case either Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile. What’s worth noticing is that this time around, Best Buy’s Galaxy S3 deal is available with any of the four main U.S. mobile operators.
While Android fans are already talking about the Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S3 is still a great handset and definitely a great Christmas present, despite being just six months old, which is a lot in Android time
Are you buying the Galaxy S3 from Best Buy tomorrow, or are you looking for a different Android Christmas deal?"
