NOKIA Booklet 3G Pro Reviews

Notebookcheck‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Nokia Booklet 3G finished the test track and our overall verdict is fair to middling. The aluminum case convinces at first glance, but then shows clear weaknesses. The lacking option for exchanging or upgrading hardware, the tiny input devices and the screen are lame.

Nokia has to be applauded for creating a solid, attractive and well-designed netbook. Its excellent battery life and built-in 3G are also impressive, but at £650 the Booklet 3G is outrageously expensive. The reason netbooks have experienced such unprecedented success is essentially down to one thing: their low price tags. Nokia's taken a big risk in designing a premium netbook, and the fact not a single UK mobile operator has taken it on indicates that gamble might not pay off. That said, if you've deep pockets and want a decent netbook that will stand out from the crowd, the Booklet 3G certainly fits the bill.

The Nokia Booklet 3G is a very nicely built computer. It is thin, has a nice shape and is good looking on all sides (most computers are ugly on the bottom). It looks like a Macbook in some ways, especially because of the aluminum. The screen opens at almost 180 degrees, which is great because it could make using the laptop more comfortable. It's nice to have that option.

Nokia won’t be best pleased that not a single UK mobile operator has taken up the Booklet 3G at launch, leaving it with something of an unpalatable price tag. It might be marketed as a mini laptop but, to all intents and purposes, it’s a netbook, and it was the affordable nature of netbooks that made them such an instant hit. If money’s no object the Booklet 3G well worth considering but, compared to the competition, it’s just too darn expensive.

The Booklet 3G is a great-looking netbook with stellar endurance, but its price and performance simply don't match up.

Okay, so the glossy black plastic lid back is a fingerprint magnet that renders the Booklet 3G greasy looking as soon as you touch it. But you’ve got to admire the superb overall craftsmanship of this netbook – at least, right up until the point you need to use the screen. At £649, this is a very expensive netbook, but one that we’d be happy to list as ‘desirable but more for aspirational interest’. Sadly, thanks to a low-quality LCD display, the missing ’aporth of tar has irreversibly spoilt this good ship. Wrapped in peerless build quality for a netbook, we really wanted to come back with a better conclusion that we did. We’re just hoping Nokia will not make the same mistake, if and when it releases the awaited ARM-based smartbook.

Easily the most luxurious netbook to date, the Booklet 3G is a tough recommendation when its price is bloated and performance doesn't measure up to cheaper netbooks.

We want to love the Booklet 3G, if only because it looks so good. Problem is, once you turn it on you’re stuck with performance that even the first-gen netbooks generally exceeded, and if that’s frustrating when the Nokia is box-fresh then imagine how you’ll feel when you’re into the second year of your data contract.

If you place quality above a bargain-basement price, you currently won't find a better netbook on the market, and the all-day battery life greatly adds to its overall appeal.

If we were to judge the book by its cover we would be praising the Nokia Booklet 3G from the rooftops. It's a stylish well built piece of kit from the outside. The trouble is that Nokia hasn't maximised the inside as well as they could have, meaning that you are left with a machine that isn't as good as it could have been.

Nokia's entry in the crowded Netbook field shows that the company's hardware know-how translates to computer design, but a poor choice of CPU should give you pause.

With an excellent chassis and built-in mobile broadband, it's an enticing piece of kit. But is there really a market for premium netbooks?

This aluminum 3G netbook delivers plenty of style and endurance, but it's relatively small keyboard and slow performance diminish its appeal.

Phone Arena‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The netbook market is growing by the day, because more and more people don't just need internet connection, but they need to be online all the time. We are not at all surprised to see Nokia jump on the bandwagon. If anything, the manufacturer has been developing Internet-oriented devices that cannot be classified as cell phones for quite some time now, like the Internet Tablet line-up. As its name suggests, the Nokia Booklet 3G...
