Nokia Delays N8 Smartphone Delivery

Nokia Corp. has pushed back delivery of its much-delayed flagship smartphone by another few weeks, saying it needs the time to make final adjustments.

The delay is the latest hiccup for the launch of the phone, called the N8, which Nokia (NOK) had hoped would give it a credible competitor to high-end smartphones made by Apple Inc. (AAPL) or based on Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android software.

“In some markets, we had planned to start delivering the Nokia N8s to our pre-order customers by the end of September,” Nokia said in an emailed statement. “To ensure a great user experience, we have decided to hold the shipments for a few weeks to do some final amends.”

The Finnish company didn’t specify the cause of the delay.
