What has a 10 inch screen, WiFi, a hot-swap capable SIM card holder and is only 2cm thick? Not a huge mobile phone, but the Nokia Booklet 3G. If there is something that one can truly admire about this new laptop is that even without the 3G features and the SIM slot, it already is a mini laptop worth having.
Mini is the Key
The key point about the Booklet being a great mini laptop is that it is an average laptop at best, as a mini however, this is one serious piece of hardware that has managed to cram itself into such a small size. If you are using a mini laptop, then being able to browse, type and access small programs on the go is your foremost priority. Media playback is possible but it is not the primary concern (you would be better off with a dedicated portable media player or a specialized smart phone). In this aspect the Booklet 3G shines.
How Big is Small?
Having a ten inch screen and being just 2cm thick, this device is small enough to slip into your bag or folio. It is also very light. If you will not be traveling too far from home, you can also opt to leave your charger behind since this device has a battery that can run for almost 12 hours straight. Of course, you should adjust a little if you plan on making use of its Wi-Fi capabilities since that can be a big power drainer.
Edging out Smart Phones
If it’s just browsing, then why not make use of smart phones? This is because laptop based browsers still surpass the latest mobile browsers available; and Nokia knows this. This is particularly true if you are accessing some special sites that require some unique ActiveX scripts running to work.
If you have been looking forward to getting a new mini laptop, you might want to hold out for Nokia‘s new device. Yes, we are actually telling you to wait for a Nokia product; in general Nokia’s mobile phones, particularly the GSM models, are often the subject of much deserved ridicule. This upcoming Booklet (can they not come up with a better name?) however, is worth looking forward to. So what does this mini laptop have to offer that we are actually eating our words about new Nokia products? Well, it’s promising, very promising.
Power Needs
The word about mobile devices is that there are a few certain expectations that have to be met before you look at the extras. The most important of which is long battery life. This is major consideration when buying a mini laptop because its portability is also heavily dictated by the battery power. Even if you have access to a power outlet, the whole point of having a mini laptop is having the freedom to move around. It you are just short on space at home and are looking for a laptop to substitute as your desktop, then you are better off with a different model.
Go Mobile, Go Mini
The Nokia Booklet 3G is a dedicated laptop, with this you can go anywhere and connect to wireless networks such as WiFi and 3G (thanks to the built in SIM card slot). You also get Bluetooth so you can expect your devices to synchronize with this as well. The Booklet is A-GPS capable, though we honestly question why Nokia bothered with the function, they even put in Ovi maps on this as well.
Small is Good
Another great feature of this mini laptop is that it really is mini. At 2cm thick and with a 10 inch screen, it is easy to lug this around anywhere you go.

Neither. It’s somewhere in between a mini-laptop. Nokia last week officially unveiled a mobile computer that is sure to wow the mobile computing crowd and give Apple’s Macbook real competition. We’re talking about its Nokia Booklet 3Gthat looks even better up close at the Nokia World 09 event.
Superb features on a Netbook
Other than its small and slim form, it really has little to share with many net books out there. Nokia prefers to call it a “mini-laptop and for good reason. It’s powered by the Intel Atom Z530 processor blocked at 1GHz with 1GB Ram and a 120 GB hard drive. Running Windows 7.0 further puts it within the computing power of current laptops but without the size.
Its 10.1” TFT screen sports a gorgeous 1280×720 pixel that’s HD resolution that’s way above current netbook screen. There’s even a HDMI 1.2 port to connect to a high definition TV. But what’s impressive about it is its battery life. Just get it fully charged at home or in the office and you can take it with you down the road for 12 long hours. No need to bring the bulky charger with you.
A closer look at the Nokia Booklet 3G reveals its mobile phone heritage. It sports many features we’ve known in a flagship Nokia mobile phone. It has A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR with A2DP, SD card and SIM card slots, 3G/HSPA wit built-in modems for WCDMA and GSM/GPRS, and local wireless data connectivity with WiFi/WLAN/WWAN. It even features an accelerometer common in widescreen handsets for automatic portrait and landscape orientation with the tilt of the “mini-laptop.” It comes bundled with Nokia applications that integrate with its online Ovi and Nokia Music stores as well as social networking sites.
Something to Look Forward To This Christmas
With a street price in the €600 range, it’s expensive alright but no more than some flagship mobile phones soon to be released at about the same time. Not only is the Nokia Booklet 3G something to look forward to during the holiday shopping spree, it looks like we can expect Nokia to have a wider product portfolio by next year.
You have laptops, notebooks, sub-notebooks and netbooks flooding the mobile computing markets in varying numbers. Enter the Nokia Booklet 3G. Not that we don’t welcome it, but Nokia calling it a “mini-laptop” seems to add more confusion to the various portable computing devices out there. But with upscale leading edge features straddling the world of laptops, netbooks and the mobile phones, this is sure to find a market niche among netbook users wanting a more muscled mobile toy beyond just getting online.
Superb features on a Netbook
Its diminutive slim form may put it in the netbook category, but the Booklet 3G really has little to share with many netbooks out there, other that its internet accessing capability. As a “mini-laptop,” it does boast of a more beefy Intel Atom Z530 processor clocked at 1GHz and sporting 1GB Ram and a 120 GB hard drive. With the new Windows 7.0 operating system, it stands alongside many laptops but without their size. Its computing power is housed in a slim 264 x 185 x 19.9 mm all aluminum body that reminds you of the Apple Macbook.
Weighing just 2.75 lbs, it’s light and small enough to be unobtrusive inside a brief case. More impressively, you won’t ever need to bring any bulky battery charger with you. It lasts 12 hours on a single full charge.
It has an HD-quality 10.1” TFT screen and ported with HDMI 1.2 that’s quite unique for a netbook. The Nokia Booklet 3G sports many features in a flagship Nokia mobile phone like A-GPS, SD card and SIM card slots, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR with A2DP, 3G/HSPA, WCDMA and GSM/GPRS, and wireless data access with WiFi/WLAN/WWAN. It comes with Nokia apps that integrate with Ovi and Nokia Music stores and social networking sites.
Something to Look Forward To This Christmas
Expected to arrive during the last quarter of the year with a street price in the €600 range, the Nokia Booklet 3G is taking shape as something that just might be in our the holiday shopping list.
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.
