Is there any limit on how much netbook manufacturers can improve the battery life of their products? Nokia doesn’t seem to know any. Nokia Booklet 3G which will be released to the market in a couple of weeks will give you 12 hours of battery that should be enough for your longest trips. Nokia is known for failing to figure out a way to increase battery life for its top smart-phones. N95 was an amazing smart-phone but it had an awful battery life. Nokia Booklet 3G is the exact opposite. Not only it gives you a long battery life, but it’s powerful too. So you are not sacrificing performance for energy efficiency.

Nokia Booklet 3G will cost you $599 if you decide to get it without a data plan. BestBuy will have the device up for grabs for only $299 but that will lock you into a 2 year data service with AT&T. The device is certainly exciting. The screen resolution is higher than your average netbook. The device is energy efficient, and the ATOM Z processor is powerful enough to handle most of your tasks. But priced at $600, it is almost competing with top CULVs and budget laptops on the market. It’d be interesting to see how it fares against those considering its smaller screen and inferior specifications.
