Oprindeligt skulle Nokia N8 have været tilgængelig i slutningen af september for forbrugerne, men det har Nokia nu valgt at udskyde. Forsinkelsen kommer til at gælde på verdensplan, og skyldes at Nokia ønsker at telefonen skal have nogle såkaldte “finishing touches”, så de kan være sikre på at den lander hos forbrugerne i sin fulde pragt. Telefonen vil derfor højest sandsynligt være hos forbrugerne i midten af oktober.
Nokias pressemeddelelse kan læses her:
“The amount of preorders has exceeded our expectations and we are working hard to deliver the Nokia N8 to the market. In some markets [including the U.S.], we had planned to start delivering the Nokia N8s to our pre-order customers by the end of September. To ensure a great user experience, we have decided to hold the shipments for a few weeks to do some final amends. We’re thrilled with the response that we’ve had to the Nokia N8 and assure everyone who’ve pre-ordered it already that it’ll be worth the wait! We expect consumers to get their Nokia N8s during October.”
