I Already Have A Nokia Booklet

eldar has stated:
399 euros without contract avail dec.09

so “without contract” seems to bestating that there will be
some sort of per month data plan?

I would almost agree with you if it weren’t for two things. The a-GPS and the aluminum body. I’m curious to see what the pricing will be and whether or not it will be hackintoshable.

getabetterpic – yes, both of those are set apart, but my point is, there’s a new crop of netbooks coming from the current players (Asus, Dell, HP, Acer, etc) that will likely have A-GPS, etc.

2005: “Want a computer? Buy an N-series!”
2009: “Want a computer? Buy one!”

And to think that even the Economist thought that Nokia would seriously challenge the Windows monopoly. Kowtow, Nokia, kowtow. Shame about the lack of vision.

Seems Nokia and Microsoft were discussing more than Office for Symbian, huh?

It’s probably integration, and once again convergence.

Tethering from your 3G phone would simply imply inefficiencies in energy usage.

Varun, you call the company that started development of Maemo in.. what, 2003 or so (given that 770 was announced in 2005), and that has gone open source on its other OS too, and has realised that services and good 1st party apps are necessary, non-visionary? NOTE: I am not saying that they are anywhere close in completing that vision.

Coolness. A miss for me as i want a 8.9″ one.

I will never understand the obsession with putting 3G radios in everything. If I can tether to my phone over bluetooth, why would I ever consider paying an additional monthly fee to do the same thing without the tethering?

Its main target audience seems to be Nokia smartphone owners (what’s the point of having Ovi Suite and Ovi Files pre-installed otherwise?), which makes me question the usefulness of having A-GPS and 3G, since one already has those on the phone. And, personally, I’m not looking forward to paying for two data plans, or two Ovi Maps navigation licenses.

I understand the role of maemo as stated above, but since maemo is linux based and since many betbooks are linux based, it would at least make sense to offer a linux version even if it is not maemo directly.

your post doesn’t make any sense. In essence, anyone with a laptop ‘already has a Nokia booklet’.

Negative. There’s only 1 Nokia booklet, you either have it or you don’t. I’ll take the real thing pls..

The Nokia Booklet looks lovely and enticing, but I am a Linux or Mac OS X kind of girl. To that end, I am looking forward to the N900 tablet with Maemo on it.

In anticipation, I pulled out the dusty N800 and upgraded the Maemo yesterday and had two hours of good, clean fun and spent most of the time thinking about the touch screen, the stylus, the lack of keyboard and the N97 comparisons.

If I were to jump into the netbook market, I would do so with on the of the Ubuntu netbooks.

Looks sleek. It was only a matter of time before Nokia started making notebooks.

by this day and age, everybody (well not everybody, but most people who could afford) have a PC and a laptop. What nokia and other pc makers are trying to do is force in a 3rd one – the netbook.

Nokia’s market will not be the US but everywhere else… people who can’t afford a laptop and already had a PC at home but dun want tp pay for a laptop.

it’ll be subsides to make it cheap the # one reason it’ll sell. when i was in europe they were giving away ps3 for mobile contract.. in the US we get S**T from our carriers with a load of crap-ware..

This netbook looks interesting, I’d be surprised if they released a US one.

I modded out my 701 to have a touchscreen and internal bluetooth for PC suite, but I doubt I’ll ever install windows 7 since its got a crappy 600/900mhz proc.

@JP – according to what was published, yes, pretty much any laptop out there is capable of downloading music from the Nokia Music Store, running Windows and Ovi Suite, synchronising your phone, and accessing Files on Ovi.

If there are more software innovations on the Nokia Booklet 3G, then perhaps it’ll stand out. As-is, it’s somewhat of a snore.
