It’s no surprise that T-Mobile and Samsung are doing some teasing via social media as they prepare for Samsung’s Galaxy Note II media event later this week. The arrival of the Galaxy Note II in the US provides both Samsung and T-Mobile with a high-profile launch as we start the countdown toward the holiday season. As it stands now, we’re all very eager to find out when exactly T-Mobile will stock the Note II on store shelves (be it with the 24th of October, middle of November or some other timeframe), and with that in mind, quick tweets by Samsung Mobile and T-Mobile’s Twitter accounts reminds us that availability is expected to start later this week, at least if you’re on Sprint. The nation’s third largest carrier has already indicated their own orders would start on the 25th of October, and so now we wait for the other 4 release partners to announce their own launch dates.

Hopefully we will find out exactly when the rest of the carrier partners will stock their own store shelves, none of this “available in the coming weeks” nonsense guys, ok?
