Nokia Booklet 3G to Sell for $600?
Rumor has it that the Nokia Booklet 3G is down from outrageously overpriced to just overpriced. Originally, Nokia slapped an $800 price tag on their first venture into the netbook category in the UK, but a sneaky tipster got a screenshot of Best Buy’s inventory system showing just how much it will sell in the US. The magic price is $599.99.
Good or blech? When you think about it, the price is waaay better than the $800 but of course with subsidies and all, the $600 price can still go lower (or higher if you consider the $60 a month for two years telecom companies will do you in for).
The Nokia Booklet 3G that will come with standard netbooks specs 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor, 120GB HDD, 1GB of RAM and Windows 7, also comes a 1280 x 720 (720p) screen, built-in accelerometer, 3G support and GPS with a 12- to 16- hour battery (or so they say) which saves it from being too ordinary for its price.
The screenshot shows that stock had been expected to appear at Best Buy as early as September 25, but as well all know, Windows 7 will be launched in just a little while. Most likely, you can get your hands on one on or after October 22nd.
