T-Mobile USA has yet to confirm the exact release of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Previous rumors pointed to a possible June 25 official announcement and a July 3 appearance on the carrier’s “Coming Soon” webpage.

However, the latest hearsay suggests that T-Mobile USA won’t be releasing the Galaxy Note until August 8. Today, the folks over at TmoNews have just learned that the first Galaxy Note accessories have just arrived into T-Mobile’s retail stores.

This proves that Galaxy Note’s launch is closer than expected, though it does not shed light on the smartphone’s exact release date.

What’s certain is that T-Mobile Galaxy Note will be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system onboard, instead of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
