Nokia Booklet 3G was a netbook with Microsoft Windows, an Intel Atom processor, Wi-Fi, 3G HSPA, 10-inch screen, a built-in webcam and an HDMI port. It was considered expensive for a netbook at the time with a price tag of €575, but its integrated mobile broadband card with a SIM card  slot differentiated it from rival netbooks. At the time, Kai Oistamo, Nokia's executive vice president for devices, stated that the company felt that “a growing number of people wanted the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility” and given that Nokia was “in the business of connecting people” Oistamo felt that the Nokia Booklet 3G was “a natural evolution for the company.” In reality, it was a major step change for Nokia and ended up being a one-off foray into the PC market.
