For those of you wishing for a cheap, always-connected netbook that cranks out a full work day on a single charge while still managing to keep things slim and stylish (aluminum chassis FTW), the Nokia Booklet 3G might be just what you’re looking for. But, with a $299 price tag that requires you to sign up for two years of AT&T data service, the Booklet 3G isn’t a cheap netbook. So, Best Buy decided to sweeten the pot for mobile road warriors by dropping the price of the Booklet 3G to just $199 when purchase with a new 2-year contract from AT&T.
For that price, the Booklet 3G is almost a steal. Its sexy aluminum body is as slim as it is striking. It’s powered by an Intel Atom processor that runs Windows 7 Starter Edition for a claimed 12 hours (although you’re more likely to get around 8 hours, which is still amazing!). It packs an HDMI port with HD video-out capability, a video-chat camera, Bluetooth, SD card reader, GPS, 3G data connectivity and a 10.1-inch display. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better bang for your tech-buck.
Now, the only question is – are you willing to commit yourself to a couple years of AT&T service? Tempting, no?
