Nokia and Best Buy have recently announced that they will be teaming up to exclusively sell the Nokia 3G Booklet netbook. The price for netbook will be $299 per unit with a two-year contract at $60 per month for a 5 GB data plan. (If you're not interested in getting a data plan, just the netbook, you can still buy this netbook, but you'll need to shell out $599.)
This is a significant move for Nokia, as it's their first actual entry into the PC market. It's also a significant move for the industry, as launching a Windows 7 netbook is a first attempt at launching a device geared towards both mobility as well as top design. For Best Buy, this is a also a significant move, as it marks the longest exclusivity period that a retailer has obtained from AT&T for a wireless device.
