Nokia Booklet 3G review - part 1, design and hardware

I would hold off buying any net top with single core atom especially coupled with only 1GB RAM (max). Dual core atoms are around the corner.

I personally think something like this is so much more powerful and practical.

Pick and choose what you want to believe and then do your own research to find the answers.

As was already said, this accusation has been made numerous times, and Steve has always (politely) answered that this is not the case. However, it appears that some people are never satisfied, and nit-pick for the sake of it...

Maybe english is not your first language so you have problems understanding what 'all about symbian' means. Calling a website 'all about symbian' gives the strong impression that the website is going to be all about the symbian ecosystem. Not a place where there are Windows 7 laptop reviews!

The only reason that laptop review is on here is because it was a Nokia. There have been loads of laptops, over the years, that fit a mobile / connected world and are a fitting partner to a smartphone but low and behold the first one reviewed on here is a Nokia.

Like I said I read the review with interest but this site Nokia centric and this is just another example of that. I don't mind it's their site not mine! Personally I would like the site to be more than just Nokia as I don't find them that interesting at the moment.

"but I want to add something more than just - Nokia store closing - horror of horrors!"

Although your earlier stories did amount to little more than "Nokia store opening - joy of joys!"

I understand all of that, except for one thing. What exactly is the problem if a small proportion of the content of the site doesn't match the URL and a Nokia netbook gets reviewed? Are you suffering a financial loss? Does it cause you pain and suffering? Does it invoke and unpleasant emotional reaction? Does it cause your bowels to suddenly and explosively evacuate?

I can't believe people haven't got more important things to worry about apart from what OS the Nokia device runs and what 3 or 4 blokes want to put on their website.

Some people seem to be indulging in extreme pendantry as a hobby. It says "ALL" in the URL. Oh dear. Call the OCD police.

Now I can relate to that. As well as the fact that Brendan was willing to log in and put his name on his comment.

It just seems to me that Nokia are given light mention/rebuke on this site when it comes to their mistakes and omissions while other manufacturers seem to get rather more serious treatment in the same regard.

It is a GREAT idea to review devices directly related to smartphones which are non-symbian, but it does look odd to start the diversification in each case only when Nokia begin to make the product in question.

While I disagree that calling for a level playing field regarding what information outside of symbian goes online is nit-picking; I think there is a place for differing opinions on this site.

Again, at least buster put his name on it and said what he thought! Kudos for him whether I agree or not. Who am I to knock him for his opinion?

When a poster resorts to criticising people for posting under 'unregistered' then I know that they have no valid argument left. It makes no difference if somebody makes up an idiotic pseudonym, or not. You are clutching straws if you think that using a name makes you any less anonymous.

You still don't know me from Adam if I use a name so I am still anonymous, as are you. The 'put your name to your words' is as limp and lame an excuse as I've ever heard.

I've put a name to this post. Try saying it out loud.

Do you not have more important things to concern yourself than about than the fact that I am have taken the time to post about the content of a website? It's a pointless argument. What I choose to be concerned about is my business and what you concern yourself with is your business!

It does annoy me that on site that the authors say repeatedly isn't Nokia centric appears to criticise non Nokia products more heavily that seems justified and be more forgiving of Nokia than seems fair and imparial. For a site that isn't Nokia centric is it a bit off that the first laptop review they have on here is a Nokia seeing as other companies have been making laptop's for years!! But, wait, this laptop has something to with the Ovi store but that's Nokia!

I said they can review whatever they like and I am generally interested in what Steve, Rafe and Ewan have to say but to be it still seems to be a Nokia centric site and this review only backs that up. I have been following this site for years and even though they will criticise Nokia it's way less than they praise them. For example, N-Gage, the amount of praise and support given to this disaster massively outweighed the moans about the failure Nokia made of it.

I think the point is about registered users.

When people make up childish names for themselves then it's clear they have nothing valid to say at all.

That just doesn't work out in logic at all. That's awful prejudice of the highest order.

And it matters not if a person is registered here, I still don't know them from Adam, they are still anonymous. Might as well be Barack Obama for all I know.

Unregistered = Registered.

You mispelled "aluminium"! THREE times!

This thread is now officially hilarious

Thanks! I really enjoy reading other e.g. Nokia related news and reviews in additon to Symbian stuff as well.

Was your Booklet 3G equipped with what version of Windows 7?
