The Nokia 3G Booklet is a pretty decent netbook, and while it was originally aimed at the mass market, there seems to be quite a bit of demand from corporate users as well. With a 12-hour battery life, we should've seen this coming. According to Heikki Norta, head of Nokia's corporate strategy group, "When we launched the Booklet 3G, we thought it to be primarily a consumer device, but after the launch, a big growing interest is coming from companies."
Nokia has said nothing about how successful it's 3G Booklet netbook has been with mass market users, but it's aggressive pricing may be a hindering factor in sales. $299 per netbook is not such a tempting buy, especially since quite a few netbooks sell for less than that – and without the 2-year data plan contract.
