Nokia Booklet 3G up for UK preorder: £649

SlashGear  Dec 18 09

Its taken a while, but the Nokia Booklet 3G has arrived for preorder in the UK.  The 10.1-inch 3G-enabled netbook is available SIM-free and unlocked, and is priced at £649 including VAT ($1,049).  Your money gets you Windows 7, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G, along with A-GPS and an HMDI connection.  No word on when it will actually begin shipping, however.
