if it’s PHP20,000-PHP27,000 i’ll bite the bate. . .
bit it’s over priced. . . maybe 30k is still ok. . .

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 ??

hehehehe

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 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).

I have spoken with a NokiaUSA representative on the phone regarding my new netbook. He then transferred me to a call center rep in the Philippines. I had 2 questions (buti na lang nakakapag-Tagalog siya). (1) Can I upgrade into Windows7 Home premium? (since Nokia booklet only comes with Windows7 Starter) (2) When will this Netbook come out sa Pinas and what is the cost?

A:
(1) Yes you can upgrade to Windows7 Home Premium and it can make your system even faster. Haaay salamat!

(2) Nokia netbook 3G will be released next year 2010 in the Philippines. Pricetag is still hanging.

I asked the rep in the Call center if anyone is excited to get one of these booklets and they said most of them wanted to have one.

So far, I’m happy with my Nokia booklet (got it from BestBuy). I got the black one. I guess it’s the best looking of the 3 colors available.

Nga pala, to those who want to get one before it gets to be a common thing in the Philippines, have it unlocked by AT&T. Siyempre, meron yang extra charge. I just don’t know how much kasi I got the $300 unit with $60/month deal from AT&T.

i think ok lang ang pricing ng booklet given na fully packed siya ng features kahit na hindi nagagamit lahat fully equipped naman siya in terms of connectivity however yung 10hour battery time nia ang killer dito sana nga lang may option na iupgrade ang ram to atleast 2gb any chance na makapagreview kayo ng booklet?? :)

I have been looking at the comments on this netbook. I am from the East Coast (US) and just bought this piece of somewhat expensive gadgetry from BestBuy on 18 Nov 09. Got it for $300 with a $60/mo plan. But I can downgrade to $40 anytime (I still ahve to monitor my usage). I thought of getting the HP mini 311, however ended up with a Toshiba T135. After playing with the Toshiba, I returned it to the store (BestBuy) because the Nokia booklet’s looks haunted me day and night. True enough, I got it, and I couldn’t be much happier. Sabi ko sa sarili ko na HP mini 311 is better (spec wise). Pero, once you get a hold and play with the Nokia, you’ll never want to let go. In fact, I showed it to my co-workers and they said it looked pretty pimp and looked like a mini Macbook pro. Aight, here’s what I found out: With the battery fully charged, I got 10-ish hours of battery life (depends on what the task)- pretty good especially on those crazy long flights and waiting at airports(good also for coffee shops and library). You also have to adjust settings to maximize battery life. I don’t know how to use the accelerometer. I tried moving this thing around and images don’t flip (I got to email Nokia regarding this). About the assisted-GPS (or A-GPS), I suggest you get a regular GPS (magellan or garmin). True for most netbooks, speakers suck! And Nokia is no exception. But with good earphones, you’ll appreciate this baby even more. I got this “toy” as an extension of my desktop and big laptop. This is good for presentations, ie powerpoint presentation (thank Nokia for the HDMI outlet), surfing the internet anytime (as long as you have signal), watching movies on the plane or laying on the bed, and basically a bring-me-anywhere computer. Don’t expect this to be a gaming computer. Processor cannot handle that and you’ll surely be disappointed. As for movies, transfer it to a flash drive or SD card. Again, this netbook is not for everyone. It’s geared to the businessman, instructors who use Powerpoint a lot, and those on-the-go persons who don’t want the bulk of a regular laptop. This netbook can only do so much and not intended as your main workhorse computer.

no thanks…

Hmm, for me it’s not worth it, around 39k budget I can get a more “worth for the wallet” netbook.

@brian_b – Netbook battery would make GPS less than practical. Huh? Why? How? Maybe the size as stated on your link for turn-by-turn navigation (which is BS).

However, it is also a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, tracking and surveillance, and hobbies such as geocaching and waymarking.

Practical? of course!

@erin: are you talking about the SheevaPlug Dev Kit?

@abe: you think you can do a review on this? maybe someone is interested to do distribution on this device.

i agree with everyone, booklet 3g is a waste.

@brian_b – who’d use GPS on a netbook? ehh coz it is portable? we are not talking abt desktops here..

The reviews aren’t that impressive and who’d use GPS on a netbook? If it comes with a 3-yer international warranty, 45k is OK.

a 16-cell battery capable of up to 12 hours of usage that will allow for a full days work on a single charge

@Erin
arrghh.. I got my hopes up that it was from a local retailer :( Thanks for the info anyway.

No! I can buy a laptop with a core 2 duo, more ram and hard drive plus bigger screen. Just No! It may have a gps or a 3g modem but still it is not “nakaw” proof!

@Erin
where did you avail the marvell plug?

@yuga: I agree with ReelAdvice on the inappropriate analogy. I would only pocket the 5K difference if I was looking for a phone/PDA and not a full-fledge mobile computing device.

But I don’t even have 10K to spend on any gadget. Naubos na sa pakikisuyong pabili ng marvell plug computer. :)

ciao!

Yuga, who buys a phone for 35k? Well i guess a lot :D I guess the GPS and Mobile Broadband card brought the price up.

This is definitely not worth it! 34,000 for an N97 is not a good analogy – it’s like comparing apples to oranges! And N97 is worth it because it is top-of-the-line when it comes to its niche – mobile phones. This Booklet 3G is too expensive for a netbook.

Nope, not for me… The HP Mini 311 is much better than this. 3G modem and GPS are features that you could just add on to a netbook whenever you want to… It should not be the reason anyone would go crazy about a netbook that’s worth Php39k…

This one is way too expensive for its kind. I like its simple but elegant look though.

maybe if i had extra cash… maybe…

a simple netbook + HSDPA USB Modem + GPS would be cheaper compared to this…
