The Nokia Booklet 3G is one of the most expensive netbooks we’ve seen to date, so it’s probably come as no surprise that a knock off version is in the works. The design looks pretty much the same as the original Nokia Booklet but, the specs differ slightly. As it’s still being worked on, not all the specs are known as of yet. The 3G aspect of the booklet clone is currently unknown, so we’ll have to wait to hear on whether it will include a 3G connection option. Another spec which is unknown at the moment, is whether it has a HDMI output or not. MicGadget reports it as “maybe” having HDMI.

What we do know however, is that it will feature a 10.1 inch display, 1024×600 pixel resolution, 1GB RAM and a 160GB hard drive. It will also come equipped with the Intel Atom N450 CPU. The battery is also non removable, which depending on what the battery life is like, could be a big let down. Pricing isn’t known as of yet but, it’s expected to cost no more than 2,000 Yaun ($295).

A little later than expected but, the Nokia Booklet 3G is now available within the UK. Unfortunately the pre-order price of £649 is correct and the booklet will be retailing for this. Specs of the Nokia Booklet 3G include a 10.1 inch display, Windows 7 Starter, 1GB of RAM, 120GB hard drive and 3G connectivity of course. The battery lasts for up to 12 hours. What makes this netbook/booklet more expensive than the rest, is the ability to display video in 720p.

Shipping is free on the item if you choose the standard delivery (3-5 days) but, if you want it quicker it’s an extra £10 on top for the express service (1-3 days).

For our readers based in the UK, here’s your chance to be the first to get the Nokia Booklet 3G. If you don’t mind spending £649 for this Windows 7-powered netbook you might want to pre-order it now from Nokia UK site.  Should you do make your order, expect your Nokia Booklet 3G to start shipping in January.

What’s good about this though is that the Booklet 3G which Nokia UK is offering will not be tied up with any network operator contract. So, it’s up to you to find a 3G mobile plan so as to maximize the netbook’s 3G capability.

As a reminder, for that expensive price you’ll get a 10.1-inch netbook powered by a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 120GB HDD, Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 2.1 and a 12-hour battery life.

Still interested place your order now at Nokia site.

Nokia Booklet 3G Up for Pre-Order in UK is a post from: Eee PC

Yes folks, you read it right. That Nokia Booklet 3G which was previously available for $299 has just received a price markdown and is now available for $199 at Best Buy. But of course since this is supposed to be a 3G-capable netbook it should always come with a mobile data plan. And we all know that this was already snagged by AT&T.

So the Best Buy offer which we heard is ongoing only during the Holiday Season will still require you to enter into an AT&T service contract. The Nokia Booklet 3G will be available at all Best Buy locations starting on Dec. 13.

Although it will still tie you up with a data plan from AT&T, the $100 discount is still a good deal especially if you so long wanted to have this Nokia netbook.

As a review, the Nokia Booklet 3G runs Windows 7, loaded with Intel Atom N280 CPU, comes with HDMI port for HD video, webcam, 10.1-inch HD-ready display, integrated A-GPS with OVI Maps and the latest version of OVI Suite.

Nokia Booklet 3G Available at Best Buy for $199 is a post from: Eee PC

Laptopmag took the Nokia Booklet 3G for a spin and found that although the said netbook looks great from the top to the bottom, it’s performance doesn’t live up to its great design.

The Nokia Booklet 3G boast of a MacBook-like design with an aluminum-covered body.  The only problem that you’d probably find with the netbook’s design is its cheap plastic keyboard. Other than this, the netbook will surely please users who are looking for a great looking netbook.

Laptopmag’s final verdict? While there might be some issues with the performance of the Nokia Booklet 3G, the bottomline is that the netbook’s design and form factor might win you over plus the fact that it is 3G-enabled and can give out 8 hours of battery life.

But then again, you must also consider that there are other netbooks available with equal if not better specs than the Nokia Booklet 3G which is currently sold at $299.

We got a piece of information that the much awaited (by some) Nokia Booklet 3G is set to arrive in the U.S. market via Best Buy on November 15. So, if this information is true, you better start saving now boys and girls to make sure that you’re among the first to own this netbook.

In fact, if you’re a Best Buy Rewards Zone member, you start reserving your unit as early as now. The Nokia Booklet 3G will set you back for $299.99 if you opt to get it with an AT&T contract. Or if you prefer not to get tied up under AT&T, prepare to spend $599.99 to get it.

Of course, in case you forgot the Nokia Booklet 3G will give you 12 hours of battery life, Windows 7 OS, aluminum body, HD screen with HDMI output and a SIM card slot to hold your mobile SIM card.

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.

Best Buy put Nokia Booklet 3G up for pre-order is a post from: Eee PC

The lucky guys over at Laptop Mag have, as they put it, finally got their hands on the upcoming netbook from Nokia. In previous articles it’s been compared to the MacBook Air and this hands on is no different. It’s noted that while the netbook is slim and sleek at 19.99mm it’s heavier than expected at 2.6 pounds. Like the MacBook Air, the Nokia Booklet is constructed from a single piece of metal which adds the weight to the netbook but, gives it a beautiful aluminium chassis. Also adding to the weight of the netbook is an impressive 16 cell battery designed in the netbook and not sticking out. This gives the netbook up to 12 hours battery life.

Like most netbooks with glossy lids, unfortunately it picks up finger prints very easily. In the video we see the netbook in Aquamarine blue but, it’s also available in white. On the inside it features seamless edge to edge glass display, also found on the MacBook Air. However Laptop Mag feel the display could have been bigger than 10 inches by maker the bezel smaller. It’s also the same case with the keyboard, it feels like it could have been bigger and feels more cramped than other keyboards found on 10 inch netbooks.

You can view the video hands on here as embedding is, unfortunately not available.

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.

Nokia Booklet Priced at Best Buy is a post from: Eee PC

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.
