Nokia N8 Ships

Market availability will vary by country and carrier, but Nokia’s N8–the first smartphone running the company’s new Symbian 3 operating system–is headed to market after some delay. Last week Nokia warned that preorder customers who’d expected to receive the N8 by September’s end would now have to wait until October, offering no explanation for the delay. So to hear that the device is actually on the trucks is good news for those looking to purchase them, and for Nokia and its shareholders as well. At $10.14, the company’s stock is up 3.26 percent with the news.
