Nokia Booklet 3G to go for Php39,000

That’s the best price of the Nokia Booklet 3G we’ve heard so far. That doesn’t include customs and VAT so I’m guessing that will be the lowest figure when it officially gets here in the Philippines.

What do you guys think? Is Php39k worth it to have the first Nokia netbook? If people thought the Nokia N97 was worth it for Php34k, I’m sure an additional Php5k for a Nokia netbook is a deal.

    In short mga ka pinoy ko … if di nyo afford why buy it .. now if afford mo and you like it go ahead and buy it thats how simple it is. TO those who complain its too expensive again there are devices that arent for everybody .. why force yourself to buy a BVLGARI if you can only afford a BULGARE ??

    Go to www.bestbuy.com or www.cnet.com to see what others are saying about the Nokia booklet 3G. These people have had their hands on this baby. Worth the look!

    The Nokia booklet comes only with Windows 7 Starter. I’m upgrading it to Windows 7 Home premium (about $85 USD tax-inclusive) soon. Sabi nang Nokia representative that I spoke with over the phone, na it would make the system run faster and better. I hope it doesn’t slow the data processing. I will keep everyone abreast.

    People need to see the Nokia booklet 3G in person. And, you have to personally feel the build material and play with it before judging and bashing Nokia.

    I have the Nokia booklet now for 2 weeks and can’t get enough of it. I bring it everywhere (now that my portable GPS dies on me).

    I have spent hours also playing with the Macbook pro in Best Buy at pareho sila nang feel. I guess looks ay isa sa mga main selling points kaya napakamahal nito.

    This netbook is NOT for everyone. If you feel that it’s impractical, don’t buy it. But let’s not judge a piece of gadgetry that we’ve never tested nor seen in person.

    In my case, I have it and have tested it. Most importantly, it serves my purpose. Again, this time, Nokia lived to it’s promise. I just wish they’d make a 13-in or 15-in laptop.

    People here in the US (I am from DC-Maryland area) are really skeptical on whether or not the Nokia Booklet 3G can deliver the 12-hour battery life. If you read one of my previous reviews regarding the booklet, I once stated 10 hours battery life. I WAS DEAD-WRONG! It was 11 hours and 30 minutes. Of course, I had to go to system settings to adjust minor stuff. I torture-tested the battery. I hate a dim screen so I adjusted it to about 70%. I was into my 4th movie and it still kept on going.

    I guess Nokia made it right this time. Siyempre, critics nila ay mga Kano na (so they’d better keep their promises). Nokia booklets here have been gaining popularity kasi nga of the promise of a 12-hour battery life, very striking resemblance to the Macbook pro laptop (it’s the “Macbook NANO on Windows7 OS”) when it comes to looks and build, built-in data-only sim card (so there’s no air-card popping out), HDMI port, and a very high resolution (especially for a netbook).

    So what is the downside??? P R I C E ($$$)

    That’s why Nokia had to subsidize via AT&T to make it appealing at magmukang mas mura.

    I have had the Nokia Booklet 3G for 2 weeks now and still really enjoying it. I have no regrets. I bought a Toshiba before November 15 (Nokia booklet’s release date)but had to return it to Best Buy for this booklet (kasi nga maganda).
