Short Version: When Nokia first announced their Netbook 3G,expectations were mixed. After all, Nokia defined the mobile phonespace but they’ve hardly been good at expanding out of the handsetmarket. My take? This is a bit too underpowered and a bit too genericto be a truly great Nokia product but, given the price ($299 withcontract) it may be a nice tertiary computer for on-the-go users.

Well, It’s Small

This is one of the smallest netbooks I’ve had the pleasure to carry.It weighs less than three pounds and is about 12 inches long. It isquite thin and the 10-inch, 1280×720 pixel screen is covered in glossyglass. The keyboard us tucked tight against the screen giving you aboutfour inches of palm space on the wrist-rest/trackpad portion versus thesame space for all the keys.
The model we tested had a 120GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, and a IntelAtom Z530 Processor running at 1.6 GHz. I has an SD card slot, SIMslot, and supports WiFi and Bluetooth. It includes an HDMI out port anda 1.3 megapixel camera. It is made of lightweight aluminum and has adefinite MacBook feel except for the rounded front and top.
It also includes integrated A-GPS and GPS along with Ovi Maps,Nokia’s mapping software. It runs Windows 7 Starter edition. More onthat shortly.

So what is this thing?

If your first question about the Booklet 3G is “Where can I buy it?”you may be slightly surprised. The Booklet is selling at Best Buy for$299.99 with two year Data Connect contract which ensures you’ll have3G Internet in areas, presumably, where AT&T 3G is supported. Itcosts $599.99 without contract.
What you’re essentially buying here, then, is one of the firstcarrier subsidized netbooks. The question, here, then is whether to buyone of AT&Ts other mobile offerings for about $300 (*cough* iPhone*cough*) or a laptop with a keyboard and Windows 7. Call me oldfashioned, but my money is still on a 3G phone when it comes toanything with a screen and a Mi-Fi dongle when it comes to portablenetworking. To lock yourself into one laptop for two years, especiallyone so underpowered, is, unfortunately, folly.
The Booklet scored 2.2 on the Windows Experience Index which puts itin the same classification as that old Dell in the closet or a potatoricer. It got 774 on GeekBench, a fairly lackadaisical scoreconsidering the year old MSI Wind scored 837.
The question, then, is whether this thing is a really big cellphoneor a small, underpowered laptop. Given that you can’t make calls on it,I’m aiming for the latter. The buy-in required to own it is also a bitonerous.

Bad News: It’s Laggy

The biggest problem I found was lag. Closing a window takes a fewseconds while browsing the web is an exercise in frustration. Becausethe processor can’t render pages fast enough you find yourself waitingquite a bit. YouTube videos took quite a while to load while otherFlash load times were interminable. Netbooks were designed for web useand this is one slow web device.
The trackpad buttons are also a bit hard to press, which adds insult to laggy injury.

Good News: It literally lasts for hours

At first couldn’t test the battery on this thing because I didn’t haveenough time to sit around and watch it. This laptop literally keepsgoing and going. It’s rated for 12 hours and I saw about 10 hours inmovie playback. That’s great.

So who is it good for?

I feel that the Booklet is an odd chimera by any standard. It’s anetbook by one of the most famous cellphone makers and it’s subsidizedlike a cellphone but is not worth its unsubsidized price. In anutshell, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Perhaps there is a market out there for subsidized netbooks. Perhapsa fleet of these things given out to a sales force in lieu ofBlackBerrys might make sense. However, I’d be hard-pressed to find amobile professional who wants to skimp on processor power to get WWANcapabilities.
I think devices like the Booklet are filling a hole in the marketthat will soon be overtaken by standalone, wireless WWAN-to-WiFidevices or, dare I say it, WiMax dongles. Until then, devices like thiswill fill that void although I feel that the end user will beunderserved with these devices.
However, Nokia has proven it can make and build a nice netback, allthings being equal, for the low end of the market. Is it a dreamdevice? No, but it’s a strong showing and if they can get theunsubsidized price down to the subsidized price I’d be willing torecommend it to the general user.
