I think you're right about the timing. If they haven't already made a deal with Samsung with the Note, it probably is too late. If they just now tried to work out a deal with Samsung to carry it, it would be pretty obsolete by the time it got to market.
However, if they did decide it was too late for getting this iteration of the Note, strong consumer demand illustrated in the petition, could get them to possibly carry a future Note like product perhaps based on the new upcoming GS3.
Thanks for your first comment here on S4GRU. I hope to see you around often.
