Nokia have announced the official price of the Nokia Booklet to be €575 which works out at $816 USD pre subsidized. It is quite a high price but due to the integrated data connection we could see many mobile phone providers subsidizing it quite a bit to shift units when it is launched.
SlashGear also managed to get a hands-on with the device showing a pre-production unit. The pre-production unit was running Windows 7 and there was a bit of occasional sluggishness although this could be just related to drivers not being fully complete for the final version. [click to continue…]
Official details about the Nokia Booklet have been revealed over in Stuttgart in Germany. We now have a full list of specs courtesy of Nokia Conversations.
The Nokia Booklet offers 12 hours of battery life which is more than a good days work. It will run Windows 7 and be powered by an Intel Atom processor. The Nokia Booklet is made from a single piece of machined aluminium that allows it to be just 19.9mm thin. Three colours will be made available at launch which are black, white and blue (or ice and azure as they are officially called for the last 2).
Connectivity wise it has wireless LAN and can use a cellular network to connect with 3G/HSPA. You can also easily sync your Nokia mobile phone with the Booklet. By using Ovi Suite it allows all of your contacts, calendar and media to be stored in the cloud allowing it to be accessed by both devices easily. [click to continue…]

So far we have only seen a video rendering of the Nokia Booklet. However, today we now see some live shots that include the back of the casing and a comparison with a Nokia E71 to give you a feel for the size of the device.
Pocket-Lint have also got some details on the specs from Intel. The Booklet is to include an Intel 1.6GHz Atom Z530 chipset that will also be responsible for powering the 720p HD screen. Unfortunately the Atom chipset isn’t the best for the job in the case of HD, but it still does do the job and will help keep costs down. Two more pictures after the jump. [click to continue…]
Today the Nokia Booklet was announced and already, Nokia have posted a video (a rendering) on Youtube giving us a look at what it’s all about. The video describes the Booklet as beautifully designed and highly durable. Due to the aluminium casing the booklet has a shiny appearance that looks quite sleek.
The screen is catch-less allowing it to be opened quickly and when opening, it reveals a chiclet style keyboard. Connectivity is key on this computer and the built in 3G should see you surfing at a decent speed when you are out of a wi-fi hotspot. [click to continue…]
