Sony unveils 1000X THE COLLEXION premium headphones, celebrates 10 years of 1000X series Google announces Android Halo feature Samsung and Google unveils AI-powered smart glasses JBL Celebrates 80 Years with New PartyBox Speakers, EasySing Karaoke Gear, Gaming Headsets, and more in PH Jollibee and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang collaborate on GameJoy campaign

I didn’t expect Nokia to join the netbook bandwagon since they’ve been touting the N97 as a handheld personal computer. But it doesn’t hurt to have one more competitor in this segment so we’ll surely see the Nokia Booklet 3G soon enough.

Aside from sporting a 10.1″ screen and HDMI output, the Booklet 3G will also have 3G/HSDPA ports with hot-swappable SIM card and assisted GPS so you can run Ovi Maps on the mini laptop.

The biggest advantage I guess would be the 12-hour battery life that Nokia claims it can squeeze off of a single full charge. Now that’s gonna break Asus’s record with the 1000HE.

The mini laptop will be powered by an Intel Atom (the Z series I assume) and will run Windows 7. Wonder what happened to their Moblin plans. As for the price and the rest of the specs, expect the full details during the Nokia World 2009 on September 2.

See the promotional video here. (Update: the video indicates it will be made of aluminum with chiclet-style keyboard, weighs at 1.25kg, under 20mm thin, WiFi and Bluetooth. This is not going to be cheap (Nokia calls it a mini laptop and not a netbook). Could be north of the price of the N97.)

Jhay · 17 years ago

Knowing Nokia, this one’s going to be pricey!

I wonder if the SonyEricsson or Samsung would also follow Nokia and dive into the netbook market.

Reuben · 17 years ago

The laptop looks like my Nokia 6300, its design. :P

Gadget Wonderland · 17 years ago

I got this covered at my blog, this new gadget from Nokia looks good!

Edgar · 17 years ago

Nokia must have a sound statement for their entry to this market. There are already enough out there. If ever, the only attraction would be a competitive price.

@gio: Yes, hoping also it would be within that price range.

wow i want this one. I’m hoping this december the nokia mini laptop will be available here in philippines. I hope the introductory price would be 20k-30k. Hehehe. I wish.

Roberto · 17 years ago

I’m pretty sure this netbook is going to be sold with a 3G data plan from one of the many wireless carriers. Possibly subsidized by the manufacturer if purchased with a contract of some sort.

roth · 17 years ago

that’s a sleek netbook, I should have waited :( instead I got an acer one…

mhaqkee · 17 years ago

yey. good… hindi pa ako nakakabili ng 2140. sana lumabas na :D

jpeb · 17 years ago

this might actually be the first ever netbook/minilaptop i will buy.

Doc Harry · 17 years ago

Will this be my new netbook? Hahahaha! I wonder if they’re gonna ship this with the working 3G/HSDPA slot. However, north of N97 price is like Sony Vaio
P territory. Nokia’s not THAT good with their phones, much less will they be with their first real computer.

chris · 17 years ago

wala na kakabili ko lang ng Dell inspiron mini 10v 501NT… parang same lang nitong Nokia na ito pero hindi nga lang 12hours yung battery life! yuga review ka naman ng dell computers dito hehe
