Samsung ships five million Galaxy Notes in just five months

[![][1] ][2]

Five is an important number for Samsung's [Galaxy Note][3]. It has a 5.3-inch screen and now, just five months since it debuted Samsung has announced it's shipped five million units (the[ one million][4] mark was crossed right around the end of December). That's certainly long enough for you to decide if you're in love with its super-sized frame or the accompanying S-Pen stylus, but unfortunately it has not been quite enough time for the highly-anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich software update to be released. While the world waits for the [Premium Suite of apps and Android 4.0][5], let's think back to all the good times we had, including its [initial unveiling][6], our [original review][7] and finally its [arrival in the US on AT&T][8]. So, are you convinced yet that there's a place in the world for a device like this, or five million phablets later are you still thinking this is just a fad?
