Nokia Booklet 3G Specifications & Pricing Released [Nokia 3G Netbook Detailed, Priced]

Following on from our initial heads up concerning the up and coming Nokia Booklet 3G netbook Nokia have now acted to furnish us with the complete low-down concerning their first foray into the ultra portable market with the release of the Booklet 3G’s specifications and pricing details.

Unsurprisingly it transpires that the Booklet 3G, which employs the Intel Poulsbo chipset, comes with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor paired with 1GB of 533MHz DDR2 memory (standard netbook fair) under the hood whilst hardly shunning expectations in offering up a 120GB 4200rpm hard disk and a 10.1″ 1280 x 720 resolution screen whilst, in terms of OS, your looking at a choice between Windows 7 Starter Edition, Home Premium or Professional pre-loaded. Additionally, software-wise, you’ll also get Ovi Suite 2.0, Nokia Music for PC, Ovi Maps Nokia’s software updater and an the Social hub application which will purportedly serve to keep tabs on your ’social software feeds’ as well as offering SMS functionality. Of course, there’s 3G/ HSPA connectivity on offer here too (this is a Nokia netbook after all) which comes courtesy of a hot swappable SIM card.

As far as other features are concerned the Booklet 3G again very much adheres to a standard netbook feature set with an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera which, thanks to the addition of an inbuilt microphone and speakers will allow for video messaging/conferencing, whilst from a connectivity perspective along with the aforementioned 3G/ HSPA there’s Bluetooth +EDR and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), GPS (specifically aGPS) whilst you can also tick off a card reader (seemingly, and disappointingly, SD only), 3 USB 2.0 ports and the much welcomed HDMI allowing you to output video to 1080p HD capable displays such as HDTVs should you wish to break free from the restrains of the device’s 720p display.

The Nokia Booklet 3G, which Nokia have additionally confirmed will come with a 16-cell battery offering up to a none too shabby 12 hours of endurance, has not as yet gained a set release date – or, at least, not one Nokia presently wish to share – though its pricing has been divulged which the device set to retail for around 575EUR (circa $810 as at the time of writing) prior to any specific subsidies – and we don’t doubt that any subsidies will impact greatly on end user costs to the point where it may be offered on certain plans for marginal outlay (possibly ‘free’ on higher plans?).
