Nokia netbook
Nokia launches its first-ever mini laptop - MarketWatch
Windows operating system, weighs 1.25 kilos (2.75 pounds) and delivers up to 12 hours of battery life. It connects to the Internet through Wi-fi or a third-generation cellular network. The mini-laptop also comes with an HDMI port for HD video out, a front facing camera for video calling, integrated Bluetooth and an SD card reader. Other features include a 10" glass HD ready display and integrated A-GPS which, working with the Ovi Maps gadget, can pinpoint precise positions. The Nokia Booklet 3G also brings a number of other Ovi experiences. |
I am interested to have a play with one, what are peoples thoughts on this?
I think price will make or break this. If it comes at a higher price for the performance, then I am not sure people will pay. |
12 hour battery life? Is that with a standard non-protruding battery? Impressive for a device under 3 pounds.

and more.....
PCWorld While the original intention of the netbook form factor may have been to have a small, cheap computer for Web surfing, the Nokia Booklet 3G appears to be geared more for the worker on the go than the cash strapped student. It also is poised to create a new class of mobile worker who eschews smartphones and uses a basic phone in tandem with a netbook instead.... Netbooks like this could create a market shift away from smartphones in general. Rather than pay for a separate data plan for both a smartphone and a netbook, it may make sense for some mobile professionals to carry a simpler phone and pull something like the Booklet 3G from their briefcases or purses when it comes time to check a map, search the Net, or write an e-mail. Certainly this would help alleviate the frustration that many experience with their smartphone's battery life. This may be a move by Nokia to grab initiative from rival Apple. In the past several years, the iPhone maker has managed to grab significant share in the lucrative, fast-growing market for smartphones away from Nokia. Apple is also rumored to be developing a tablet netbook. With this announcement, Nokia may be trying to beat Apple to the punch. |
If that battery life is true then that is fantastic. My netbook can get me through a mid length journey but a 12 hour battery life would mean far less worry about where you're gonna get to the next power point.

+1 on the battery life salivation. Weight and batter life are my key criteria.
That said, I'm interested by the idea that the much anticipated Apple tablet will wind up being an iPhone based (mostly just a bigger screen & better input mechanism) and wind up with a long battery life. I know steve jobs has deferred apple tablet projects before because of battery life. |
any idea on list price and street price ?
and will it work on all 3g networks including the weird USA T Mobile 1700 band ? Rally |

Sorry about bumping this one. I got my Booklet 3G in the mail today. What a gorgeous machine. The 1GB is still a nasty limit, but the build quality is fantastic.

So can you give us some first hand experiences on the battery life once you've used it for a while?

Scott, did you buy it outright or did you sign up for a data plan?
