Introduction:

The Nokia Booklet 3G comes with a built-in UMTS 3G modem, making it possible to use  any network once you insert a SIM card. This slim body device features a completely functional navigation supporter and GPS receiver.

In the box is a charger with a short cable, headphones with a microphone charger and microUSB

Design:

The Nokia Booklet 3G is noticeably thinner and has a solid look.  Its body is aluminum.  The netbook supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and 3G connectivity, built-in microphone and a1.3-megapixel camera, an HDMI port connects the device to your TV-set or monitor. It has a glossy front it comes in grey, black and light blue.

The shinny screen has resolution of 1280×720 pixels.  Its measures a mere 10 inches in size can also be tilted almost 180 degrees the hinge is very solid.

The keyboard is somewhat smaller a standard netbook, isn’t a problem.  Since the keyboard isn’t cramped, you have enough space between the buttons. It also comes with QWERTY keyboard.

Software:

The Nokia Booklet 3G has Windows 7 Starter or the Home Premium. preinstalled is MS Office Small Business Edition has a 60 day trial also F-Secure Internet Security 2010 on a 30 day trial. The Booklet 3G has an Atom Z530 processor this needs approximately 17 minutes for installing the 95MB software pack. The Booklet 3G is completely useable (but low-spec) computer. The Windows 7 will suggest you switch off transparency once you startup the device, as it slows it down.The built-in aGPS is extra and is quite rare with a portable computer.

The built-in 3G modem performs well – just insert your SIM card, and enter all necessary settings and you are then connected to internet.

The combination of slow mediocre video and slow processor chipset means that you do not have a proper HD video playback. We where able to play videos with a resolution of 1280×700 pixels, but it was skipping of its frames very often and it’s unfortunate that the device isn’t based in Nvidia´s ION platform .the Sound through its loudspeakers is not near to any normal speakers deliver, however it is passable to use Skype chatting sessions also both its built-in microphone and the camera are fine enough for that too.

Aside from the design only, a major strength of the Nokia Booklet 3G is the 16-cell battery with the capacity of 56.8Wh it lasts almost 12 hours of uninterrupted work, this is according to its manufacturer. During the tests a video was played at above the standard screen brightness (regular level to watch indoors) with a completely charged battery it provided us with more than 6 hours continuous playback. Most remarkable performance in comparison to other makes also the Booklet 3G will work for approximately 8 hours while connected to Internet and we hardly ever needed to carry along a charger throughout our tests.

Conclusion:

The Nokia Booklet 3G is an above average netbook – it looks attractive with three awesome colors, comes with good battery, costs is very high though. We like its look but on the downside it will attract prints with its shinny glossy finish, and its mediocre performance gives it a relatively elevated price tag making it unjustifiable.
