The ultraportable Nokia Booklet 3G comes with Windows 7 software and boasts a 12 hour battery life, inbuilt A-GPS and Ovi Maps, making it the complete solution for all day mobility and modern lifestyles.

- Up to 12 hours battery life means that you can leave your power cable behind and still be connected and productive all day
- Built in A-GPS allows you to connect with the people and things that matter most whilst on the move
- It’s compact and ultra portable with its lightweight aluminium body
It’s also packed full of features…
- Windows 7 Starter edition software
- Intel® Atom™ Z530, 1.6 GHz processor for high performance
- Fanless design for efficiency
- Fast, reliable 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity from Nokia
- 10.1″ HD-ready screen, with glass window as well as an HDMI port for video out
- Nokia Ovi suite included
