Nokia Booklet 3G review: First look
It was only announced last week, with more details unveiled this week, but we got our hands on Nokia's new Booklet 3G for a first look review.
The Booklet 3G is likely to retail for around 500 excluding VAT. With its support for 3G, Nokia hopes that retailers will be offering the Booklet 3G with a subsidy for those taking out a mobile broadband contract, just as they do for the other major laptop manufacturers.
Nokia is also suggesting that some operators may offer combined deals for buying a Booklet 3G and Nokia phone, with two SIM-cards and a combined data account. Nothing has been confirmed, although if Nokia is lucky enough to attract the type of customer that has been waiting for a smaller MacBook, the price may not actually be an issue.
Verdict
Sitting at the top of the netbook tree, the Booklet 3G has all the ingredients to be a winner – with an excellent specification, great design and Windows 7.
Its high price may put off some, but could attract many more – and will certainly make Apple wonder why it discredited this section of the market for so long.
