Nokia Booklet

Nokia could decide to launch a new netbook with 3G module in 2010 when its first model, the Booklet 3G was officially announced last September 2. If one believes the Chinese newspaper Economic Daily News, the demand for 3G Netbook Booklet is currently quite high. Suddenly, rumors that Nokia can take advantage of this “state of grace” to launch a new netbook with a 3G module in 2010.  Currently, the 3G Booklet is manufactured by Taiwan’s Compal. This Netbook located on the high end with its tariff of 750 $ near seems seduced operators.




It must be said that with such a tariff, Booklet 3G more likely to be successful with the public by being subsidized by operators who will market a package sold that 3G alone.  We still imagine that Nokia will await the user feedback before embarking on designing a new netbook.

Recall that the 3G Netbook Nokia Booklet includes Silverthorne Atom processor Z530 (1.6 GHz), 1 GB DDR2 533 MHz, SATA hard disk formatted 1.8 inch 120 GB at 4200 rpm, a graphics chipset Intel GMA 500, a 10.1”WXGA display glass window of a resolution of 1280 × 720, a 1.3 megapixel webcam with microphone, an SD card reader, an accelerometer and interface 3G A-GPS, Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, HDMI 1.2, Headset and USB 2.0 (x3).

It weighs 1.25 Kg, measuring 264 x 185 x 19.9 mm and has a self-announced 12 hours of Windows 7 with its 16-cell battery 56.8 Wh Li-Ion battery that can be removed. Unveiled yesterday at the press (see this article), you learn a little more today on the 3G Booklet first Netbook Nokia.  For those who doubt its authenticity, the Nokia 3G Booklet has been photographed by our colleagues at Reuters and those of All About Symbian Nokia HQ in Helsinki.

These photos can get a little better reflect the actual size of 3G Booklet. The design quality and finish seems to go. It also notes that the shell reflects the environment.  And according to several sources, the 3G Nokia Booklet benefit as we foresaw a Silverthorne Atom processor Z530 (1.6 GHz). It is therefore likely that one is dealing with a platform Menlow chipset with GMA 500 graphics Poulsbo. As for storage space, it would be assigned to a hard disk with a capacity of 120 GB. In all cases, it is unlikely that Nvidia chip is embedded, the mark indicating it was not involved in the development of the Booklet, which is also the case of Broadcom.

The specifications that we announced yesterday are still valid: a 10.1 inch HD screen with a resolution of 1366 × 768 (or less probably of 1280 × 800), a webcam with microphone, a card reader and SD interfaces 3G , A-GPS, Wi-Fi a / b / g / n, Bluetooth, HDMI, Headset and USB 2.0 (x3).  It weighs 1.25 Kg, measuring 264 x 185 x 19.9 mm and has a self-announced 12 hours of Windows.

In this regard, a source close to Nokia said that the 3G Booklet should work on Windows 7, the future operating system from Microsoft that was launched October 22, 2009. If the information proves accurate, it should therefore not expect a release of the Nokia 3G Booklet before that date. Unless of course that Nokia decided to launch an initial model in XP or Vista, but that’s unlikely.
