So, the spec sheet I posted last week was correct then 
It's a larger GS3 with an RGB screen rather than pentile. And the resolution and pixel density are lower than the previous note.
I do like the 3100mAh battery though. Tasty.

Any pics of it side by side with the original Note?
I thought the matrix is pentile?
Screen looks perfectly good to me going by those photos and videos. I certainly wouldn't be complaining about it.
Whilst the design isn't really much different from the GS 3, I think it looks better than the GS 3 by quite a bit, less curvy and sorted the speaker area out, just a shame about the brush effect and not using on screen controls or at least loosing the hard home button. Although for the grey model in those photos and videos it does look like it has the same problem with the shading/hyperglaze of the home button The grey does look much better than the PB GS 3 IMO.

Can I buy it.........now?
Just confirmed LTE...
I might get this and use it more as a tablet than phone...Subtle upgrades to the original Note but nevertheless still an improvement.

There you have it, just pull out your S Pen and you will be more productive! I think that you might be wasting more time.

Looks good shame about the colours though... what business sense does it make to hold back the most popular colour (black)?
Soldato
It's RGB. Each pixel is composed of three sub-pixels. Pentile pixels have only 2 sub-pixels, with the red and blue sub-pixels alternating between adjacent pixels.
Pulled from The Verge:
To fault that article slightly...
a) The original note was 1280x800, not 1280x720, in respect of it's 16:10 aspect ratio
b) The Samsung phone uses an OLED (organic LED) screen, not an LCD. OLED screens do not have equal-sized sub-pixels, as the technology itself means that the red, green and blue sub-pixels do not give off equal amounts of light per unit area. It is simply not viable to have a "perfect stripe" arrangement of sub-pixels in an OLED screen. The non-uniform sub-pixel arrangement is a fundamental consequence of the basic screen technology. If you want the advantages of OLED screens, you have irregular sub-pixels.
