Hear Ye! Hear Ye! As promised on our last report regarding Nokia Booklet 3G a month ago, here’s the update on Nokia’s first laptop-booklet 3G.
Ever since we posted our first look, many people were curious how much will it cost? This is Nokia’s answer: Nokia Booklet 3G will be commercially available for a hefty price of US$800. Yes! and we are not kidding. It will come in 3 different colors: black, ice (white) and azure (blue) and will run as expected, on Windows 7 .
Is it worth the price?
The gadget was one of the superstars in the recently held Nokia World 09 at Stuttgart, Germany. But with a high “notch” price tag, we are a little skeptical if people will bite this one. I guess gadget fanatics will get one, but for the common users we still have to wait.
A complete list of its specifications can be read below.
Check out Nokia’s promotional video for a close-up look on Nokia Booklet 3G.
