We knew the Nokia Booklet 3G would be available at Best Buy around November 15. What we didn't know was that Best Buy is giving Reward Zone members the first shot at obtaining the product, per a circular Engadget obtained over the weekend.

Between November 6th and the 14th, Reward Zone members can visit their local Best Buy store to place a pre-order of the Nokia Booklet, with others having to wait until November 15th to order the device.

To recap, the Booklet 3G is Nokia's first Atom-powered netbook. Weighing in at 2.76-pounds, the device features a 10.1 inch HD display, 120GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, Intel Atom processor, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, webcam, Bluetooth, built-in SD card reader, and an HDMI port. It will be sold for $299 with a two-year contract on AT&T, or for $599.99 without a contract.

Nokia announced this week that Best Buy will be the only retailer selling the Booklet 3G netbook through the holiday season. It will be available for $299 to customers that sign up for a $60/mo. mobile service plan with AT&T. Don't want to sign up for the mobile plan? It will cost you $599.

The Booklet 3G features a 10.1 inch HD display, 120GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, Intel Atom processor, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, Ovi Maps, Ovi Suite, webcam, Bluetooth, built-in SD card reader, and an HDMI port. Nokia also says that the netbook will have a 12-hour battery life when fully charged.

The Booklet 3G will be available to order on October 22, 2009…the same date as the launch of Windows 7, which is the operating system the Booklet runs on. It will be available in Best Buy stores around November 15th.
