I don't know. If he was only offering one model, probably pick the one he favoured. I hope Nokia will not only offer one model.

Well, this prank was good but I have something to tell you. These rumors bout Wndows laptop waking at night and eating people - it was just a joke :)

Oh geez ppl.. it's just business for crying out loud.

Get with the program.. understand and accept this reality, and your world will be easier to understand and you can be more effective in making changes.

PS: If only this thing comes with a core2duo level CPU...

This is suit hardware. Sexy design. Glossy, indoor meeting-room, with MS Office + PowerPoint kind of sexy. That's why the Linux career doesn't play out.

It would make sense that Nokia had something extra expensive and shiny to put in the expensive corner of the shop for the executives to buy just because they can... But this thingie isn't expensive enough, is it? :D

Not to speak for volt, but look: this really is not a black and white issue folks. It's more about inertia than bias. To succeed in the mainstream, Linux has to be more than free: it has to come with a complete and compelling use case that eases the fears (some spread via propaganda) of average consumers.

At the end of the day I don't think Joe Computeruser is religious about Microsoft. He just wants to get his stuff done. Hardcore Linux evangelists can preach until they're blue in the face that he can, but it's gonna take more than that to unseat the status quo. Not defending it, just recognizing it objectively.

With nokia's clout in the developing markets this is going to be a big hit. I am sure most of the people in developing markets have no idea about netbooks and for them nokia is the first company making netbooks.... just like iphone is the first smart phone for most of the ignorant americans.

Nokia industrial design applied to a small laptop is a win for me.

Ovi stuff, and having access to my files and sms's etc, whether I am on my computer or phone I really like. Nokia has the software to make it work and now they are just adding the hardware part.

I have been waiting months to buy a netbook/laptop and Nokia has finally brought out the one I want.

Well, there really is only one OS that scales, and that is linux. It runs the fastest computers (IBM's blue gene et. al) and it runs the smallest computers. Debian runs on at least eight supported architectures, OS X and Windows 7 / Vista only run on Intel architectures. So linux scales broadly and vertically.

Re: Nokia Booklet 3G
 

Interesting point. I tend to forget these markets.

I don't mind people speaking for me if that means they at least listened enough to what I said to pick up on something instead of pulling out a sentence and burning it ;)
