@Joshua Ochs:

You're right. It's a freakin laptop. It makes sense that it costs more.]]>Oct 13th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/
I know many very happy people who own iPhones. Most of them don't have a clue who Steve Jobs is and could care less about Apple. It sucks that ATT decides the that you must pay for a data plan but what are you gonna do. The cost of the actual iphone is no more, or less, than other phones with similar feature sets. I remember when I lost my treo it was going to cost my like $500 to replace...

My point is that most people who own an iPhone are not mindless Apple/Steve Jobs zealots. Some are and you can find them here, posting on Engadget all the time ;)]]>Oct 13th 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/
Ah yes, but I bet they're not the ones coming on here and saying that 299 on-contract is too expensive for a Laptop, but for a mobile phone is perfectly fine.]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/Oct 13th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/

I am interested in know that with the hot-swappable sim card, can i just plug in the 3g Simcard and use data directly like that?
or is the sim-card slot only for making calls/text messages. In either case, its fine, but 3g data through sim card would make this a killer
deal and very convenient solution.

Besides SMS aren't exactly something I want to be doing from a laptop, when I'm sending SMS messages I'm usually packed into a crowd at a concert or waiting in line at a restaurant.

But to pay $299US and then $60 a month to AT&T is just too expensive.

I would price this Netbook at $450US, because its got the longest lasting battery of
any Netbook.

Or than that its just a Netbook like any other.

Hmm, the $1099 Macbook Pro with Wifi does not sound bad at all.]]>Oct 13th 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/
599$ *is* a bit much for a netbook, but considering the battery life, the features (GPS, 3G), the build quality, and lastly, the product placement itself (it's targeted towards "mobile professionals", much like the E72), it's hardly unjustified. It's simply not competing with the other, "normal" netbooks.]]>Oct 13th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/Oct 13th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/Oct 13th 2009 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/Oct 13th 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/dirty troll]]>Oct 13th 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/Oct 13th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/Oct 13th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-booklet-3g-hands-on-with-video/

Not nice: it's gma500 rather than Ion, so no flash acceleration anytime soon, which would allow youtube/bbc HD. Worst of all, 1gb max ram?? Urrrgh. Win7 can just about work with that, but with an Atom, a 4200rpm drive and shared graphics memory it's going to struggle.


$600 would be OK, but it seems a little too compromised by the ram limit. If they're going to premium price it, stick a dualcore Atom, Ion and 4gb in there.]]>Oct 13th 2009 2:37PM
