Here’s a new device that seeks to provide the best of mobility and richness in experience which I blogged about on CNET Asia recently, a Nokia Windows-based machine!

Machines like this seek to bridge the gap in between, offering the best of mobility and richness of experience.
Espoo, Finland - After more than 25 years as a pioneer and leader in the mobile industry, Nokia will bring its rich mobility heritage and knowledge to the PC world with the new, Windows based, Nokia Booklet 3G.

It’s been a while since I’ve been so excited over a new phone. Even though the Blackberry Bold has been around for a while and I’ve kinda resisted getting it for months. I was simply blown away when I finally got it. It’s like falling in love all over again. Sorry, I did say I’m a geek right?
I installed a nice theme on the desktop with 13 icons, loving it!
