Samsung announced last week that the Galaxy Note will be coming to the U.S., on AT&T's network. AT&T, in turn, said the device would be available in the coming weeks but stopped short of announcing either the release date or the price.

The Galaxy Note, a device that is neither a phone nor a tablet but a happy combination of both, has a huge 5.3-inch WXGA Super AMOLED HD screen that comes with 1280×800 resolutions at 285 ppi density. The hybrid device is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, has a 2 megapixel front-facing camera and an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera and offers 16GB of onboard memory, which can be expanded to 32GB, via a microSD card and unlike the European model the AT&T version will come with Near Field Communication technology (NFC).

The most interesting feature of the Galaxy Note, however, is the S Pen stylus, an input tool that allows users to create fine lines and details on the device's display, much like an ink pen and a pad of paper.

On the other hand, HTC unveiled the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango-based device- the Titan II - at the recently concluded 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CESO). This is the first Windows Phone from HTC to support LTE connectivity and will also run on AT&T's network. The phone offers a hugely impressive 16 megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p HD video recording capability. The Titan II also includes features like geo-tagging, BSI sensor, image stabilization, face detection, Accelerometer, gyro, proximity and a compass.
