AT&T will carry Nokia's first netbook, the Booklet 3G, the operator announced today. Not only that, it will heavily subsidize the price. You'll be able to buy the Booklet 3G for $300 with a two-year contract, about half of what it is estimated the netbook will cost.

Back in August, Nokia made news with the announcement that it was entering the crowded netbook market with its first Microsoft-based product, the Windows Mobile 7-run Booklet 3G.

Best Buy will start selling the netbook in mid-November. It'll start taking pre-orders on October 22nd.

Specs for the Booklet 3G include integrated high-speed HSPA cellular-wireless broadband—after all, it has 3G in the name—with the ability to hot-swap SIM cards, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, three USB ports, a 10.1-inch HD screen, HD video out, an HDMI Port, a headphone jack, GPS, a camera for video conferencing, and support for SD cards to expand storage capacity.

The netbook is small and light at 2.75 pounds and a mere .9 inches (2 centimeters) thick. It promises up to 12 hours of battery life with normal daily use.
