Nokia Booklet 3G pre-orders open at Best Buy

The first demo units of the Nokia Booklet 3G netbook are starting to arrive at Best Buy stores in the US. The Booklet 3G was meant to launch on Windows 7 launch day (October 22nd), however they don’t start to seem to be available yet. Not to worry, as Best Buy now has pre-orders for the premium $599.99 netbook up on its site.
The Nokia Booklet 3G has a 10.1-inch (1280 x 720) display, measures just 20mm thick and is powered by a 1.6GHz Z530 Atom CPU, 1GB soldered RAM and a 120GB HDD. Other features include Bluetooth, HDMI-out and a 1.3MP webcam. For a ‘premium’ netbook however, it only gets Windows 7 Starter.

To Nokia, Disappointing and little late in the day to come out with these specs. Also this should have been loaded with Win Home Premium at least. I don’t think this will sell well now considering the lacklustre software & hardware despite being superbly crafted.
