Nokia Booklet 3G is official, focus on Nokia World 2009 for now

Now this is a big one. We might have missed the big news about the announced Nokia Booklet 3G laptop by three hours or so. This is why in order to redeem our fault we are bringing more accurate specifications of the Booklet 3G. First things first, this is a kind of device that already tries to outdo everything around, despite we don’t know its price. No one will until Nokia World 2009, which will take place on next week's Wednesday. Still, should Nokia Booklet 3G be addressed to as a netbook, laptop, anything else? Well let’s find out.

At a first glance, all we see is a pretty small aluminum body, forget about plastic. Dimensions are: 264 mm x 185 mm x 19.9 mm. Weight is 1.25 kilos. Aluminum probably adds a fair bit of weight to the internals, but that is a small price to pay really for long lasting and durable, beautifully curved piece of design.

Now, what about specs? The biggest mystery was Booklet’s processor. It was said in the official Nokia press release that all is driven by a new sufficient processor from Intel Atom family. But then ZDNet UK, referring to Nokia, posted on their website that the Booklet 3G has a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 inside. That’s fine by me because they also said that it has no fan. Nokia that has a fatal flaw of overheating is too much middle class. And, can you see through it? It starts falling off netbook shelf before we even got to the equipment. Here is a list of what is known about Nokia 3G laptop at the moment:

* 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor
