Of all the precious metals, gold is the most valued and coveted by man. It symbolizes man’s fascination with wealth, beauty and power. The quest for gold led to many major events in history including the fall of Aztec in the hands of the conquistador, the infamous death of an Incan Emperor, the 1849 California Gold Rush and the development of most currencies. As a testament to man’s unique relationship and obsession with gold, Nokia even released a Special Gold Edition for their N97 mini. The Nokia N97 Mini Gold Edition goes beyond sophistication and luxury with its full 18-carat gold plated body that hides an even greater number of treasures underneath all that metallic yellow shine. This 18-carat smartphone sports a 3.2-inch tilting display with a fully customizable home screen that gives you quick access from the latest news to your favorite websites. To take personalization up a notch, you can access the popular OVI shop to browse their almost unlimited catalogue of games, applications, multimedia and online store services. With the OVI shop your personal home screen can be filled with your digital favorites in no time. For fast and easy inputs, the N97 Mini Gold uses a full QWERTY miniature keyboard; composing e-mails, SMS or updating your status on your favorite social networking sites couldn’t be easier.

Nokia Booklet 3G Unveiled

booklet3gWe have given you a glimpse of the Nokia Booklet 3G on our previous post . Now that it has been officially announced, let’s take a look again on Nokia’s entry into the netbook market.

The Nokia Booklet 3G is its first product to enter the computer market. Though this could be something different to what Nokia does such as branding of the high-end phones like N97 among others as mini computers, it is still a welcome strategy for Nokia. Here are the official features of the Booklet 3G as obtained from Nokia’s site:

All day computing

  • Up to 12 hours of usage time
  • Windows 7 and Intel Atom processor

Sleek, robust design

  • A stylish, premium design with a chassis made from a single piece of machined aluminum
  • 19.9 mm thin
  • Three different colors at launch: black, ice (white) and azure (blue)

Seamless connectivity

  • Built-in WLAN and WWAN enable connectivity to the Internet anywhere a WiFi or cellular network connection is found
  • 3G/ HSPA with hot swappable simcard

Sync easily with your Nokia handset

  • Integrated Ovi Suite enables easy sync of calendar contacts, media with your device and the cloud

It looks to me that this mini laptop (as what Nokia calls it) and not a netbook is very promising. Primarily, the 12-hour battery life that Nokia claims is the longest among this segment and would even leave Asus’ record with their 1000HE. Its looks would not also be disappointing since it has chiclet keyboard design and the slim aluminum body would definitely complement the different colors that would come with it.

It’s up to consumers whether Nokia can dominate a market that it hasn’t been into. No word yet on when this can be bought, but you could look over the different accessories of this gadget which is already available here.

Nokia Booklet Netbook

nokia bookletJust when I thought that Nokia is a company that concentrates on the cellphone market where it is strong at as shown by its mammoth phone sales that seems to be on a war path, it has diversified on the computer market with (not surprisingly) a netbook. It is not new that a company strong in its field diversify to conquer other greener pastures. Just like what Apple did when it ventured into the smartphone market even though Apple is prominent in the computers and music player market, smartphones is a related field. With Nokia, they went after netbooks since these are shifting towards dependence on mobile internet through 3G networks which Nokia conveniently is a player with their 3G phones.

Then what does a Nokia netbook made of? Since it hasn’t been announced (wait until Nokia World 09 on Sept 2), limited information is out regarding its specification. But here is all that is known. It sports a 10-inch high definition glass screen, Intel Atom processor, built-in A-GPS that works with Ovi Maps, HDMI port, WiFi, 3G/HSPA module option, SD card reader, front facing camera, and whopping 12 hours of battery life! It weighs 2.75lbs (just a little over a kilo) and is around 2 centimeters thin. If you thought of the OS, it runs on Windows but no word is out on which type.

Nokia’s move to venture in the fast growing netbook market might be a good move though it will depend on their newest baby’s performance. But knowing Nokia, they could probably pick some “coins” on their deep pockets and do a huge marketing campaign. Keep posted here on Geekie for the latest on the Nokia Booklet.
