Nokia laptop sold by Best Buy in US
The firs Nokia laptop will be sold by Best Buy in US, rumors say. None of the major US carriers seem interested in subsidizing the netbook.
Buy Nokia Booklet 3G cheaper in US
Still, there is good news. The Nokia Booklet 3G price will be $599. There is a lot less than the first estimates of $800 and it might give a boost to sales.
We know that laptops are cheaper in US, but this is an important price decision. Maybe Nokia fears the competition from Asus, Dell or Acer that already promise same battery life and better specifications on their next notebooks. Looking at Nokia Booklet specifications, there are some neat features that might give Nokia a head before the pack. But this advantage is not one to last long, and Nokia should quickly make a partnership with a large carrier to avoid engaging into a price war.
The Nokia Booklet 3G is not exactly an Iphone of the netbook market, so it should not be promoted as a netbook, but as something else. They should concentrate on the business market and hit deep.
What do you think, is it a good decision to go with Best Buy and $599? Would you buy it?
