Nokia Champagne Pics? Tablet? Looks more like the Nokia booklet 3G to me.

There’s a post going around of what has been dubbed as the Nokia Champagne. The image, posted by professeurthibault was tweeted by MS_nerd dubbed Two Turkeys – a reference to a Google Exec’s comment about Nokia and Microsoft.

A lot seem to think that due to the curved screen, it is a new device. It is a Nokia tablet. Right?

Actually that’s more like a Nokia Booklet 3G. Nokia’s first Microsoft Windows powered product. It has the N9’s iconic curves but that’s just the lid. Note on the side it seems to have a double bezel. That’s the hinge.

Look at the pics below, one of which from the very cool Michael Hell. I could be wrong and Nokia are taking cues once again from the exquisite (but underpowered) Booklet. I really would like some ASUS transformer style going on there with the premium build and design of Nokia.

Here’s a pic from slashgear. Just slim it down a bit and the design could still work.

So, the first Nokia product with that curvy style + bezel…was a Nokia Windows product from 2009 – which incidentally appeared at the same time as Nokia’s Maemo powered N900.
