The 22nd has come and gone and the Nokia Booklet 3G still isn’t available to purchase from Best Buy despite the demo model arriving. The netbook is however available to pre-order now from Best Buy. The price remains at the previously reported price of $599.99. Only the black model is available to pre-order at the moment but, the blue and white models will also be available soon.

The Nokia Booklet will also be available with an AT&T data plan. Once this becomes available the netbook price will drop to $299.

Yesterday we reported that Best Buy will be the exclusive retailer to the Nokia Booklet 3G in the US. However no price was known for the netbook, or when it will be available but, rumours are pointing towards the 22nd of October. However a tipster sent in an inventory shot to Phone Arena which shows the price and release date. The inventory shot shows the netbook as being available from 25th of September but it will come with Windows 7 when released, pushing it back to probably the 22nd of October. The price is also listed as $599.99, making it $200 cheaper than it is in Europe, which was to be expected.

While the Nokia Booklet may have already been released in Europe, it hasn’t set foot on American soil just yet and with the latest news it may not be seen in many homes across America. Nokia has previously had trouble getting their handsets subsidized in the US, so getting the netbook booklet subsidized seemed a little hopeful. It appears this may be the case as Best Buy will be the exclusive sellers of the Nokia Booklet 3G. Alternatively, Nokia will also be selling the Booklet online if you’d prefer not to deal with Best Buy, or want to deal with the company directly. No price has been confirmed or release date but, rumor is that it’ll arrive around the 22nd of October.

To kick start the week we’ve got three cracking netbook deals from TigerDirect and Best Buy.

TigerDirect have on offer on refurbished Acer Aspire Ones. The Aspire One usually costs $300 brand new, which of course also comes with a 12 month warranty. But if you’re looking to save a bit of cash, a refurbished model is available to purchase for $60 less. The refurbished model however only comes with a 3 month standard warranty, but optional cover can be taken on it.

Best Buy on the other hand, have two great deals on brand new Asus netbooks. Firstly we have the Asus Eee PC 1000HEB, which features a 10.2 inch display, 160GB hard drive, the newer Intel Atom N280 processor and 1GB of RAM. The 1000HEB usually retails for $400, but can found for $375. Best Buy’s price beats this at a lower $350. Also on offer at Best Buy is the Asus Eee PC 1000HD which comes with a 10 inch display, 120GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and an Celeron processor. Again this netbook usually retails for $400, but Best Buy are selling it at a low $270, saving $130.
