Nokia Booklet 3G running Windows 7 Starter now available for pre-order at Best Buy

Those excited to get their hands on the much-awaited Nokia Booklet 3G can now purchase the netbooks for pre-order at Best Buy. The netbooks go for $599, and they come with Windows 7 Starter installed.

With Windows 7 Starter, that means no Aero, and a lot of missing features. You can’t even change the wallpaper, for crying out loud. This is what you get for $599? Not good, if you ask me.

Acer Aspire D250 with Android

We’ve waited for a netbook rocking Google’s Android to come out for some time now, the dual-boot Acer Aspire D250 would be the thing for you. It dual boots into Windows 7 and Android. Honestly, I still don’t think it makes any sense, but whatever works for you, right?

Take note that there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to boot into Windows 7 though.

Check out the unboxing video below. It’s in French, but you’ll understand it well enough.
