But take a look at the capacity, at 50+ Wh... It even might be a typo, there are 6 cells with that capacity, 9 cells going to 80+ Wh. Weird.

Random whining honestly. Complains that Nokia is not popular, but at the same time attacks the efforts of Nokia trying to be popular.

I think it's a natural response...

Nokia better come up with some visual and compelling showcases to justify asking for 2-3x the market price of similar products. The differences aren't obvious enough to many people (me included).

I think the idea behind the Booklet is to offer with subsidies through carriers. Even if the carrier sells it at $300, it is superior HW than the competitors and it comes with the data plan and stuff.

However, if no carrier picks it...

Oh, my bad, I didn't know those prices. Even worse for the Booklet. And I think I have figured out why the Booklet appears with Aero disabled in its media pictures: perhaps is a battery saving measure, to achieve the 12 hour mark.

Looks as though the Booklet 3G is being sold exclusively through Best Buy in U.S.A. (and Canada?). Priced at $599, and stock has been received.

Just the opinion of one person. If it's a quality product then people will buy it.

Does anyone know if Ubuntu runs well on it (is HW accelerated graphcis and everything working?)?
