On Monday, Galaxy Note has landed on shelves in the UK, exclusively via John Lewis. Two days later, the smartphone is available via more retailers in the country, including Clove UK.

The online retailer has it available for £538.80 ($840/650 Euros) SIM free and unlocked, VAT included. Moreover, it says that the device is now in stock.

The smartphone is dressed up all in white, but features the same specifications as the original handset, which was black.

Galaxy Note packs a large 5.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, along with a fast 1.4GHz dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD video recording capabilities, and HSDPA and WiFi connectivity capabilities.

The smartphone is powered by Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, but should get a taste of the Ice Cream Sandwich platform release in the not too distant future.
