Nokia Booklet 3G in the flesh!

Listen to article

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

So here we have it — one of the very first few Nokia Booklet 3G in the country. We don’t know when it will be released in the Philippines but if it ever did, at least we’re able to share with you some close-up shots and a review ahead to help you get decided.

I have to admit, the Nokia Booklet 3G is just gorgeous (and I use this word very sparingly). Pretty solid aluminum construction. If it didn’t have the Nokia logo on the glossy-black lid cover, I’d easily mistaken it for an Apple netbook (okay, the non-existent one).

Nokia Booklet 3G specs:
10.1â€³ display screen @ 1280Ã—720 pixels
Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500
1GB DDR2 RAM
120GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
3G Modem
Integrated GPS and A-GPS
1.3MP camera
HDMI port, 3 x USB 2.0 ports
SD card reader

The Booklet 3G is Nokia’s first attempt to enter the laptop segment so it will be interesting how it will position itself in this already-crowded market. We’ll have the full review of this unit in a week or two so stay tuned for that.

Could anyone help me buy the Black Nokia Booklet 3G. I’ve been waiting for its release in the Philippines since 2009. Best Buy in the U.S. only sells and ships the item if the credit card holder and its billing address are both in the continnental U.S. I’ve also tried buying the item at Ebay but I encountered problems in checking out using PayPal.

Sir yuga, do you have any WEI screenshots or scores?

josengSISIW · 16 years ago

FOR THE PRICE….I CAN BUY A LAPTOP WITH DDR3 AND 64BIT. AND USE THE 3G OF MY PHONE.

the 3G, GPS with a-gps, hdmi and 1280×720 reso is nice, but is battery life also nice?…^_^

i still love my toshiba sattelite series w/ 320gb of internal mem and a harman kardon speakers. i might try this though once it arrives here in my location. AR is right, once you got to travel a lot and stays in the airport terminal for more than 12hrs then this one is for you. with my current laptop, i always make sure i bring with me a universal adaptor. i was once stucked in dubai terminal 3 for 14hrs and got no adaptor that would fit their power outlet.good thing there is one passenger who’s kind enough to lend me hers.

very nice looks, but specs? nah :)

COOLBUSTER.net · 16 years ago

aluminum coating, nice design but look at the specs, i think it’s slow.

Jon · 16 years ago

Looks nice, but…Well, it just looks nice. Specs pale in comparison with other netbooks in the market. I doubt they’ll price that around 23-25k. More like 30k++ or even more.

Adrian · 16 years ago

Ang problem Atom yung processor, so meaning medyo mabagal yan. :(

simplynice93 · 16 years ago

Not impressive specs for Nokia Booklet. You can buy a better netbook for the price of Php38K++. It’s only advantage is it looks like the old Macbook.

cattey · 16 years ago

i really like this Nokia Booklet 3G!!!
it looks so sleek; however, i think i want to opt for the Apple IPad, or maybe both gadgets!
technology never ceases to amaze me! have you heard of or seen the lecture about the SixthSense??
holy moley!!! that is incredible and way ahead of this time’s technology! it’s like the creator/inventor just saved the human kind 10 years of our lives for having created it now.
you have to check it out if you still haven’t done so yet.
here’s the link to the video of the lecture:

The design is clean and stylish just like a Macbook Pro.

asan ? · 16 years ago

Ow, ina a week or too…. Just got excited, I thought my browser is missing some infos

asan ? · 16 years ago

Just curious, where’s the review ? It’s only specs…

irv · 16 years ago

sorry, when i saw the words “intel” and “atom”, my eyes just kinda glaze over…

pass pls.

GadgetPilipinas · 16 years ago

39k for a netbook is way too expensive IMO. it’s premature for me to runt though. nokia must have built this little thing with love and passion. :)

lolipown · 16 years ago

I’m shaking my head as I go through each line of the specs… HDMI output on an Intel budget graphics silicon. Then the premium price. Makes you wonder if this is even going to sell.

eRLyN · 16 years ago

is that promising for a notebook?

drealmarlon · 16 years ago

the 12 hours battery capacity not specified here?

lorenz · 16 years ago

Ehhh, Windows 7 Starter lang siya~? *pout* Akala ko ba eh kaya sa netbooks ang Win7 Ultimate, let alone Home Premium?

daddy joey · 16 years ago

looks nice… but for 35-40k? :D

Pedro · 16 years ago

yikesssss… 35k? oh no…

daemon · 16 years ago

39K ?? Atom lols Tsk tsk tsk

noel bautista · 16 years ago

@39k, you can alredy buy an Acer Core 2 Duo machine with more memory but without the 3G modem and GPS.

Best if they can make it like an ipad and then load it with GPS navigation software with Philippne Maps so may laptop ka na, may GPS navigator pa.

ed · 16 years ago

I must admit that it really looks good. :-) though i think i like the ipad more. :-)

Calvin · 16 years ago

very nice looking (although boxy) netbook.

whaâ„¢ · 16 years ago

can’t wait for the review sir yuga!!!

the poor traveler · 16 years ago

I hope telecom companies here in the Philippines have the capability or have the technology to support the built in 3g modem.

alma · 16 years ago

Dang, Abe, that notebook is fab!! notebook rates are so competitive now, so i hope nokia will not jack this one too high…

balahuraz · 16 years ago

HSDPA and HSUPA are both under the 3G technology.. FYI :)

Edgar · 16 years ago

At least it has a known name (although not on this product line yet) but so with Acer, HP, and the rest of the groupies. So, why should we buy this one?
