Nokia releases Nokia Booklet 3G with Windows 7

Nokia set to roll out its booklet through Best Buy stores along the same time with the release of new Windows 7

The Nokia Booklet 3G is here with a bang. It is all set to debut around the time when Microsoft will be releasing its new operating system, Windows 7. The Nokia Notebook will come loaded with Windows 7 after the Windows 7 release date i.e. October 22, 2009. It comes at a subsidized price, $299 with an added 2 year data plan from telecommunication giants, AT & T. It will be made available at all Best Buy stores across the U.S.. This announcement from the Finnish phone maker comes with a relief for customers. When the product was first disclosed in September, it was priced at an astonishing $820. This was quite an exorbitant sum as Notebooks comes for less than $500 these days.

One can also notice that Nokia has a tie-up with AT&T for a two-year service agreement which gives more feasibility to the subsidized price. There are offers coming from Best Buy as well. It plans to come up with the unique 'Walk Out Working' scheme, which will enable the customer to get his product activated and working before he leaves the store. For anyone who purchases the Booklet 3G, sales associates will configure and activate the Notebook. Nokia has kept the screen size at 10.1-inch and its Notebook has almost all the features that are available on Notebooks. It has an Atom processor, a built-in GPS , a 12-hour battery life, an aluminum casing, 3G and Wi-Fi wireless capability and height and weight specifics of 1 inch and 2.5 pounds.

There are added features on the Notebook such as Nokia Music for PC and Nokia's Ovi Suite 2.0. There is also an aggregator coming from the feeds from social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook etc. with its Ovi Maps and Social Hub application. Customers can also get the notebook without the option of opting for the two-year service agreement from AT&T. This option, however, comes for the an unsubsidized price of $599.
