The T-Mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889) will soon receive an upgrade (UVALK8) that will add the useful Multi Window View option that was oddly missing upon release. Starting Wednesday, December 19, T-Mo Galaxy Note 2 users will finally get access to the robust multi-tasking feature that enables specific Google and Samsung-approved apps to run side-by-side. For example, you can take notes while browsing the Web or read/compose an email while carrying a text message conversation with a friend or watch YouTube videos as you sketch a drawing. The UVALK8 update will be pushed out over-the-air in phases beginning 12/19 and it will also be available via Samsung Kies.
