Full specs of the Booklet 3G have been release. Battery is big but there’s a dissapointment with the hard drive.

Booklet: €579. N900: €500. Pre or Post tax prices?

Posted on 02 September 2009

If tax needs to be added to the Booklet you are looking at 689 Euros fro the Booklet in Germany. Bzzzzzzt!
