Samsung unveiled the AT&T version of its widely popular tablet/smartphone hybrid, the Galaxy Note at this year's CES with no news of a price of release date.

Now Samsung has finally made things official for the device that packs a 5.3-inch display by announcing its release date and pricing on AT&T.

Customers will be able to get their hands on the Galaxy Note by delivery on Feb. 17 of this year with pre-orders beginning on Feb. 5. It will officially land in stores on Feb. 19 and will be available in both carbon blue and ceramic white colors for $300 with a new two-year agreement.

"The Galaxy Note combines the best features of a smartphone with the larger viewing screen of a tablet and advanced technology in the S Pen – delivering an all-in-one device that allows users to work more efficiently and maintain productivity, while communicating in a unique, personal way," according to the press release.

The company goes on describe the device as the world's first 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED (1280x800) handset. The Samsung Galaxy Note features the largest touch-screen included on a smartphone in the market.

"The Galaxy Note includes a highly advanced tool called the S Pen, which delivers fast, responsive and precise control to create fine lines and detail on the device display, much like an ink pen and pad of paper," continued the press release. "With the S Pen, users can easily sketch drawings, jot down notes, or write emails texts quickly and easily in free-form handwriting."

It also includes S Memo which is a multimedia application that is designed to capture all forms of user-created content and that drawn by the S Pen. It allows for pictures, voice recordings, typed text, handwritten notes or drawings to be combined with a single application to a "memo."
