Nokia Booklet 3G slips to $199 on contract ‘through the holidays’

December 12, 2009

Few people were debating that the $299 on contract price for Nokia’s Atom-powered Booklet 3G was a bit steep, but now it has fallen more in line with its closest competition thanks to a price drop at Best Buy Mobile. From December 13th “through the holidays,” the Windows 7-packin’ machine (which we just recently reviewed) will be available for $199.99 with a two-year AT&T Data Connect plan. Of course, there’s a good chance you’ll regret the decision to jump on this when the next-generation Atom hits at CES (which is happening, right Intel?), but hey, Santa’s got to do what Santa’s got to do.

Nokia Booklet to hit O2 Germany October 22 for €249 on contract

October 7, 2009

Nokia just posted up some of the first official details on the launch of the Booklet 3G, and they’re… actually a little confusing. The aluminum netbook will hit O2 Germany for €249 ($366) on a €20 ($29) tariff over 24 months, but there’s also mention of a “flat rate data tariff” of €25 ($36) per month — we’re guessing the flat rate is for buyers who snag the Booklet for the full price of €699 ($1,029), but honestly, that’s not how the post on Nokia Conversations reads at all. We’re trying to get it cleared up, and we’ve got a feeling we’ll be hearing about availability in other markets including the States soon enough, so stick around.

Nokia Booklet 3G to run $799?

August 25, 2009

Barely more than 24 hours after the Nokia stunner of the century — the company’s announcement of the Booklet 3G “mini laptop” — we’re starting to get some more details about the 10.1-incher. Netbook News is reporting an unnamed source that claims the netbook will run $799 — certainly not a netbook price. The Booklet will boast a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530, and will reportedly boast a 120GB HDD, plus integrated 3G, a swappable SIM card, A-GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi. There is no official word on pricing or release date, but we’re expecting to hear tell of all that at Nokia World (which is on September 2nd). There are a few previously unseen shot after the break — and hit the read link for even more.

Nokia introduces Booklet 3G ‘mini laptop’

August 24, 2009

Nokia rocked the world this morning by introducing its spin on the laptop, called the Booklet 3G. If you’re the rude sort you could call it a fancy netbook, what with its Atom processor and 10.1-inch display, but that screen is higher res than your average Eee, and it also sports integrated 3G wireless and a hot-swappable SIM card, so it’s definitely trying to define its own niche. It looks to be running Windows 7, which isn’t particularly netbooky, and also has integrated A-GPS with a copy of Ovi Maps, HDMI output, a rated 12 hour battery life, and the usual Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, all in a 2cm (.78 inch), 2.7lb aluminum body that’s understated, sophisticated, and should make most Nokia fans very happy — Nokia fans who are looking for a tiny laptop, anyway. There’s a fancy promotional video after the break, and while we don’t have any anticipated release date or price just yet, we’ll be learning more at Nokia World 09 on September 2. We promise not to make too many Foleo references.
