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

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 3G review

You might think MikroMikko is the name of some Asian fusion restaurant, but it was actually Nokia’s first computer line — and in 1987, the MikroMikko 3 was a state-of-the-art MS-DOS machine with 1MB of RAM and 20MB drive. It’s been about 25 years since Nokia’s made a computer bigger than an N900, but it’s back in the game with its first netbook, the Booklet 3G. Nokia’s pitching the Booklet as a top-of-the-line machine with an all-aluminum chassis, integrated connectivity and GPS apps, and at $599 it’s certainly priced that way — although inside it’s got a low-power Atom processor and 4,200rpm hard drive. The Booklet 3G is one of the best-looking netbooks out there, but is Nokia’s entry back into the market a winner? Click on to find out what we think of the entire system in our full review.

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

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?

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.
