galaxynote Best Buy Taking Pre Orders On Samsung Galaxy Note Starting This Sunday, Offering A Free Flip Case Too

The Samsung Galaxy Note is almost upon us. The 5.3″ phablet is going up for pre-orders this Sunday, February 5 when Samsung plans to air a big Super Bowl ad to tell everyone how awesome their new device is. Where do you pre-order though you might ask. Well, Best Buy will be taking your money off your hands starting this Sunday if you like, and they are offering a flip case with it while supplies last.

The Note will not officially launch until February 19 but the money down will hold you over until that date. We have until then to size up our pockets to see if this massive device will fit.
