AAS has posted Nokia Booklet 3G review – part 1, design and hardware which is the start of a detailed look at this much hyped netbook style device. I must say that I really do like what I see so far.
“The Nokia Booklet 3G is a ‘mini-laptop’, running Windows 7, which was announced in August this year and was first showcased at Nokia World in Stuttgart. As such, it is something of a departure from Nokia’s usual phone territory. However it is, perhaps, not so much an odd-man-out in Nokia’s overall strategy as a first glance might suggest. Nokia, with its goal of connecting every person on the planet(!), is always looking to serve its customers in new areas by broadening its product portfolio when opportunities arise.
Some may raise their eyebrows at the choice of Windows 7, but really this isn’t even a choice – commercial realities dictate the use of the Microsoft platform. Laptops with embedded 3G (WWAN) radios have become quite common over the last few years and given Nokia’s expertise in cellular radios and logistical strengths it’s not really that surprising to see Nokia operating in this area. So what’s Nokia’s first product entry in this space like? Read on to find out more!”
