While we had a chance to play with the Nokia Booklet 3G last night, what we didn’t see was the final retail packaging for the upcoming highly-connected netbook. That turned up today for an impromptu photo-shoot, so check out the full gallery – plus details of what will be in the box – after the cut.
It’s not all high-end touchscreen here at Nokia World; the company has also delivered an entry-level music phone, the Nokia X3. With an MRSP of €115 pre-subsidies, the X3 has a slide-out numeric keypad and dedicated hardware media controls flanking the screen.

Nokia’s N900 isn’t the only touchscreen device to make its official debut at Nokia World; the company has also announced the capacitive touchscreen X6, a media-centric device. With a 3.2-inch display and S60 5th edition, as on the Nokia 5800, together with triband WCDMA (850/1900/2100).

While the Booklet 3G is certainly a neat addition to the netbook segment, there’s something undeniably more appealing about the Nokia N900. We’ve seen all the specifications and now know the unsubsidized price, so it was about time for some hands-on experience with Nokia’s latest flagship.

Nokia may have only just officially announced the full details of their Booklet 3G netbook, but SlashGear had the opportunity to go hands-on with the ultraportable at a pre-Nokia-World event. In the metal, the Booklet 3G certainly deserves its premium positioning: the metal chassis feels as slick as a MacBook Pro, while there are also hints of Apple’s notebook range in the glossy glass display.

The Nokia N900 has certainly prompted some discussion, blending the company’s developments in the Nseries range and their Internet Tablet models, and at Nokia World this morning they confirmed details of the touchscreen device. Set to land in October 2009, it’ll be priced at €500 pre-subsidies.
Nokia may have unveiled the Booklet 3G over a week ago, but they’ve been keeping some pretty essential details from us too. Not least is when exactly we’ll be able to buy it, where, and for how much. As you might expect, they saved much of that information for the opening keynote here at Nokia World.
Nokia have announced several new devices at Nokia World, including making the Nokia N97 Mini official – complete with preloaded Lonely Planet information – as well as debuting the Nokia X6, a touchscreen device, and the Nokia X3, a Series 40 music phone. The X6 has managed to fly beneath the radar in the run-up to Nokia World, offering a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 16:9 aspect display, direct access to Ovi Store and Facebook integration.
It’s September 2nd, and that can only mean it’s the first day of Nokia World, the Finnish company’s yearly expo for all that is right and good in the worlds of Symbian, cellular and now Maemo 5. While leaks and pre-announcements have tipped us on much of what the company has in store for us, that hasn’t stopped SlashGear from heading over to sunny Stuttgart for the event.
We’re starting to really enjoy seeing these N900 videos. The first ones we saw were some pretty quick, albeit informative glimpses of what the N900 was; and then we got a quick taste of what the camera is capable of; and most recently a very loud (both audibly and visually) promotional video. This time around, we’ve got a clear-cut display of what we’re looking at, and what we should expect when the N900 finally launches.
