Low price point? Where?]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 5th 2009 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
You can't compare the $599 Booklet to a $199 netbook on Verizon, because that Verizon price is subsidized on contract. If you get the Booklet subsidized through AT&T then it's only $299. Still more expensive, but hardly three times more expensive.]]>Dec 5th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/

So much for the wait though, Anyway this will just be a start, obviously there's a lot of room for innovations]]>Jan 3rd 2010 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
On a serious note, I'm not surprised by the disappointment in this product. Its a lot of money for a netbook. I would much rather get better performance out of a cheaper netbook like the Mini 311 and "endure" the plastic shell.

Speaking of plastic shell, I've gone through many a laptop and have yet to experience "plastic related failure". In my eyes, for this kind of performance, I wouldn't bother spending the extra money for a more elegant shell if there exists no elegance when in use.]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
In fairness, I think it's kind of a disappointing product.]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Yep Very]]>Dec 4th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
Not only that, but the commentors are panning it too, and most have them haven't even seen one in the flesh.]]>Dec 4th 2009 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 7th 2009 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
I agree. It's too pricey and too underpowered. Bung a better CPU in it, 2GB of RAM and drop the price and it's a winner.]]>Dec 4th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
seriously, single core atom and no ion? nokia needs a time travel machine, this booklet belongs to year 2008.]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
The point of this netbook is battery life. Dual core Atom + Ion brings you down to 5 hours max instead of 8, and I doubt they tested 3G on it.]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Completely agree. This is a complete fail. Specs like this without something extra (ex. custom OS) at this price makes no sense.

People with extra money to burn (with no common sense) take notice - you can get this for the same price as a comparable netbook by signing up for the worst cellular carrier in the US for a two year commitment to a $60/month data plan (with a 5 GB limit!!!) - BTW, that makes the price $1740 over two years.

Has this been disabled in the US-version for some reason?!]]>Dec 4th 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Wait, does it have two-finger scrolling? That's actually the only thing I care about with a multitouch trackpad. I couldn't care less about pinch to zoom on a laptop.

I guess it doesn't really matter, since I'm not getting it. It's a shame too, cuz this is really the best looking netbook out there. Why does it have to be soooo underpowered...]]>Dec 4th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/"one of the best looking netbooks out there"????
are you being serious or satiric??
I mean, really, I've always totally thought the opposite ever since it was first announced

1. the machine body is noticeably and "pointlessly" much larger then most of the other netbooks. and statistically speaking, i've heard numerous complains against thick screen edges as they look just not good at all. and this one has not only thick screen edges but also broad body dimensions. how is it better looking or any more portable than the other similar devices??

2. 4200rpm HDD? are you kidding me?? you really think an atom isn't good enough to disappoint you in terms of performance and that you desire to see something that would make your life even more miserable? those netbooks with this kind of crazy-slow hard drives are already rear and nearly distinct. now you can find those mostly in UMPCs or MIDs which are generally much smaller in size than the netbooks. why on earth would you choose to use such a low-performanced HDD when it doesnt really grant you significantly more battery life?

3. truly this one has quite a few good things than many other netbooks out there when talking about expansibility. but are you really willing to spend up to 700 bucks on this instead of other ones that have similar functions. Honestly, I totaly would not. if you need 3G, 5 hour battery life, good looking design and high performance on a 10ich netbook, there are quite some options out there such as HP 5101. and if you really dont need the 3G, wow, lots more choices for you. surprised?


this is definitely not a good choice for people who need a netbook in my opinion

The hardware is kind of slow according to many reviewers, but when I played around with it I started several programs, lots of tabs and played music, videos etc and I didn't think the performance was unusually bad. It's just slow compared to normal laptops or something. I just didn't think it was that bad. Nothing special, but nothing I couldn't live with either.

The body shell is absolutely beautiful and this is really the netbook apple didn't build, without OSX. In fact, I wonder how this would work as a hackintosh?

I'm sure there's a couple of things wrong with that statement but I can't put my finger on them.]]>Dec 4th 2009 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/

Wait, so you can NOT make phone calls and send text messages on this device? Wow, major suck. Forget it.]]>Dec 4th 2009 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/
Is that possible, or are there restrictions put in place to not allow for both of those things?]]>Dec 4th 2009 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/

Asus has the 1005 with a 10.5 hour battery life, XP Home, and an N280 for under $350 on Newegg. If you really want 3G, just add a data stick or mifi, the data sticks are "free" on contract from your choice of providers.

With integrated 3G, not only can you not move your connection to another device, a Cradlepoint router, etc, but you also can't position it for best reception. If your Verizon USB stick needs to be positioned by a window or whatnot, a $10 USB extension cable will do the trick.]]>Dec 4th 2009 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nokia-booklet-3g-review/Dec 4th 2009 5:48PM
