Nokia Booklet 3G Goes On Sale In The UK For £649!

11 February, 2010, by Desire Athow

Nokia has quietly started to sell its uber-expensive Booklet 3G Netbook on its online store for a throat-chocking, jaw dropping £649, a price that we understand, includes VAT and delivery but which is slightly on the expensive side of things.

The device, which is already available in the US via AT&T and Germany through Telefonica-owned O2, was launched back in August 2009.

If you thought that Apple's US/UK price differences were unfair, then Nokia's one is proper outrageous as the mini laptop costs $599 across the pond and the equivalent of $1020 in Blighty.

For this quasi-obscene amount of money, you get a nice looking laptop with an Atom Z530 processor running at 1.6GHz, a 10.1-inch LCD display with a screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels, 1GB RAM, a 120GB hard disk drive, Windows 7, embedded 3G, HDMI, WiFi, A-GPS, Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and Nokia's own set of services, all packed in a 1.25Kg chassis.

ZDNet reports that no mobile operator have signed a deal to subsidise or bundle the device, given that it is almost as expensive as an iPhone, it is highly unlikely it will ever happen actually.
