AT&T to offer Nokia Booklet 3G for $299.99

Ah.. it’s amazing what a little subsidizing will do for a product. Case in point – the upcoming Nokia Booklet 3G netbook. Expected to cost a pretty penny (around €575), Nokia has partnered with AT&T to offer the Booklet 3G at an “introductory price” of $299.99 along with a two-year AT&T Data Connect Plan.

Consumers interested in the Booklet 3G will be able to pick one up at Best Buy locations nationwide or at Best Buy Mobile standalone stores. Best Buy will also be offering their free “Walk Out Working” service where associates will help activate the device with AT&T, walk you through Windows 7, and help you understand all the products and services on the netbook.
