Netbook will also ship directly from Nokia

Best Buy has announced that it will be the exclusive retail distributor of Nokia's upcoming Booklet 3G. Both companies have yet to disclose pricing or an official launch date. Along with Best Buy, customers alternatively will be able to pick up the device directly from Nokia.

The Booklet 3G features an aluminum housing measuring just under 20mm thick, along with a 10.1-inch display which supports 1280x720 resolution. The device integrates a 1.6GHz Atom CPU and provides HDMI output, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 16 cell battery claimed to last for up to 12 hours.

Nokia's netbook will ship with Windows 7 pre-installed, along several variations of wireless broadband components for different carriers. Pricing is expected to fall somewhere around $800. [via Phone Scoop]
