Nokia has liberated more information on its initial netbook, the Booklet 3G. The Booklet 3G is a cute trendy bit of kit, but aside from that there's several cute attractive goodies below its aluminium bonnet.

As you most likely know by now, the Booklet 3G supports on Intel's Atom Z530 and has 1GB of memory, like most netbooks. But, the rest of the specification is something but your dreary bout of cheap netbookish substance. It's a fanless design, as well as Nokia choose for a 120GB, 1.8-inch 4200rpm hard drive to save space, weight and help out with the thermals. Certainly, 1.8-inch drives are somewhat slow as well as expensive, but we're guessing Nokia will present an SSD choice at some point.

One more thing that sets it separately from the rivalry is the 10.1-inch 1280x720 screen as well as its detachable 16-cell 56.8 Wh Li-Ion prismatic battery, which should offer sufficient sap for 12 hours of computing. Neat, but the large battery with aluminium chassis include somewhat a bit of weight, with at 1250g the Booklet 3G is not very light, especially considering it’s presently 19mm thick.

As you would guess from a Nokia, connectivity isn't a problem. Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, 802.11 b/g/n with feasible 3G support should meet anyone's requirements. You also acquire HDMI, A-GPS along with an accelerometer.

Mainly the Booklet 3G sounds similar to a very pleasant machine indeed. It's trendy, thin, and silent as well as suggests massive battery life; with its build quality will most likely be second to none. But, at €570 or presently over $800, it's mind bogglingly costly for a netbook, no issue how good it is. There's still anticipation Nokia could make use of its pull with telcos to present it below some more sensible subsidized prices or long term payment plans.
