Nokia Booklet 3G Arrives In UK [Nokia Taking UK Pre-Orders, 10" Screen, 3G Enabled, 120GB Hard Drive, £649]

Nokia’s hotly anticipated netbook, which was earlier released in Germany and the United States is now out for pre-order in the United Kingdom. The 10″ notebook will set you back £649 ($1,048), but no word on when they’ll start shipping them.

Nokia will be shipping the netbooks SIM-free and unlocked, which explains the steep price. In addition to the 10″ screen, the Nokia Booklet 3G features an Intel Atom Z530 processor (1.6GHz), 1GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive. As for software, it comes running Windows 7, with Nokia’s Ovi Store and other Nokia apps pre-installed.

Reviewers who have gotten their hands on the Nokia Booklet 3G are impressive with the netbook’s quality, although you might not be impressed with the low-end tech specs. SlashGear points out that although it isn’t being offered in the UK without a subsidy and telcom contract – this might actually be good for the consumer, considering how outclassed this netbook will be in a year. As I said earlier, the Nokia Booklet 3G is being pre-ordered now for £649, with no word on when they’ll hit the delivery trucks lorries.
