Best Phone Blog

Nokia have an outstanding reputation for making quality and durable mobile phones. Over the last couple decades Nokia have been right at the top of mobile phone production, and have had a huge influence over other phone companies, regarding models, designs and compatibility. The latest gem from Nokia is not a mobile phone at all, but a compact and easy to use laptop titled the Nokia Booklet 3G.

This Booklet 3G is designed to be used by anyone, but has businessmen and ladies in mind. With the growth of the internet, and how easy it is to use, many companies now have meeting in online chat rooms complete with web cams and microphones. The laptop has a built in microphone and web cam, allowing you to have a hassle free meeting.

Using the 3G technology you do not even have to plug any leads in to talk to friends, family or work mates, as it is all done wireless. The Booklet 3G features a very easy to use task bar, which can maximize and minimize programs at the touch of a button, without affecting other running programs. The laptop can also be used to connect to Nokia’s download site, Ovi, although you have to download it separately.

As all of you are aware, it’s not everyday that we have a look at a notebook. However, when a major player in the mobile phone market suddenly decides that they should be diversifying their interests into another technological market, it’s high time we take notice!

The Nokia Booklet 3G was announced by Nokia through Nokia Conversations and, as you will know, is Nokia’s first steps into the unknown world of laptops and netbooks. Considering the fact that all of us are computer geeks to a certain extent (and openly acknowledged mobile phone geeks), much as we try, we can’t stay silent about Nokia’s first netbook, the Nokia Booklet 3G.

However, to actually understand how serious Nokia are with their netbook, a look at the pictures of the netbook should clear these doubts for you.

The Nokia Booklet 3G makes use of the Intel Atom platform. It is also the first ever netbook to have HDMI HD video output and, though we don’t really expect it to be super – awesome or anything like that, the fact that this video output is present on an Atom laptop is a very good step in making laptops media – houses as well.

This netbook’s battery is capable of operating for about 12 hours, which will ensure that it will act as a faithful companion regardless of where you go. The netbook, true to its name, has a modem which is capable of supporting surfing on HSDPA and 3G networks. You can also connect to the internet on this netbook via the Wi-Fi internet connectivity option.

The netbook has a GPS receiver. It has a 10 inch screen and is just 20 mm thick and weight only 1.25 kg. A web cam is also available, as is Bluetooth. Nokia Booklet 3G Reviews have mentioned that the netbook will be retailing for £520. When it is released there will be lots of great Booklet 3G contracts available for you to choose from.

Nokia has been trying to shake it’s ‘dad at the disco’ image for a while now, mostly just by using the letter X. With its XpressMusic, it’s X6, it’s X3… but all the while we’ve been tutting and thinking: what’s wrong with being thought of as a slightly older, slightly more sensible manufacturer. Surely most people are going to want to buy themselves phones from the most reliable, the most wise people around?

Well, in a very novel move that doesn’t really in any way shake their image as boring and middle-aged, but DOES make us very excited about the quality of the product itself, Nokia have released a full set of details (and a nifty video, as you’ll see below) for the Nokia Booklet 3G. That’s right, you heard us: Nokia are releasing a netbook. A computer. A proper one. Running the newest windows and everything.

And as you’ll see from that video, or from this Nokia Booklet 3G review, or even the official page itself, the Nokia 3G Booklet is shaping up to be a whole lot more than just another netbook to add to the over-stacked bandwagon that is the netbook market. Fair enough the RAM, the processor, the screen and a few other bits and bobs aren’t exactly going to make the Acers and Samsungs of this world come over all aquiver. But but but… what about a 12 hour battery life? What about A-GPS onboard along with Ovi Maps? What about WiFi and 3G… see, impressed, aren’t you?

And then there’s the sheer design of this thing. It looks absolutely stunning. Like, Sony Vaio stunning. Like, (almost) Macbook stunning. Which most definitely sets it a long way apart from most of the tat that tries to pass itself off as netbooks these days.

We do have one possibly slightly larger than minor concern though. The price is yet to be confirmed and we have this sneaking suspicion that Nokia might just go and price themselves out of the market before they’ve even start. But then, we are a cynical bunch of grumps. Here’s hoping that’s not the case. Fingers crossed for that soon-but-unconfirmed release date…
