Unless you are a hopeless workaholic who needs more than 12 hours banging the keys on the road, the new Nokia Booklet 3G is a great relief for virtual office workers on the road. No more bulky and ugly battery chargers to carry around with your netbook. It lasts 12 continuous hours between charging. So you can just charge it when you reach home.
Standing Tall Above the Netbook Genre
After heavy speculation on the net, Nokia has unveiled its Booklet 3G last week with some teaser specs that only now get confirmed with the Nokia World 09 event. Apart from its generous battery life, the Booklet 3G is powered by the Intel Atom Z530 processor that’s clocked at 1.6 GHz making it the most powerful netbook in the market. First impressions reveal its close affinity to the Apple Macbook that also sports an all-aluminum body. With a 2cm thick dimension and a 2.7lb weight, it should be quite light to lug around in a brief case.
The Nokia Booklet 3G spec sheet betrays a mobile phone maker behind it as it sports most of the known features of a high end mobile phone. You get A-GPS, integrated apps to access the Ovi and Nokia Music stores, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR with A2DP, an SD card and SIM card slots, built-in 3G/HSPA, WCDMA and GSM modems, and WiFi/WLAN. It even has an accelerometer sensor for automatic portrait and landscape viewing with the tilt of the “mini-laptop.” There’s a distinguishing HDMI 1.2 port to connect to a high definition TV.
Coming Soon from a New Nokia
The Finnish company Nokia has redefined itself as a mobile computing gadget maker with the Nokia Booklet 3G. We expect to have this in the market after the Nokia World 09 event and it will be offered in three colors: azure (blue), black and ice (white). Street price is yet to be confirmed but a €600 won’t be far.
