N8 is Delayed Again!
 
Nokia true to form have delayed their "flagship" phone again.

As usual it seems to be 3 times lucky before a Nokia device is actually available to users.

Didn't this happen with the n900?

According to the report Nokia were going to release it in June?!!

Sky Article

Is this a launch "strategy"?

Does it come with free cake?

Am I asking too many questions?

See?

Am I still doing it?

Why can't I stop?

Coffee?

The release of the N900 was delayed once by Nokia. Vendors announcing and changing their "in stock" date estimates did create the impression of numerous delays though.

In consolation though, they're adding a new, orange color.

I'm glad Nokia didn't charge my credit card yet. When I pre-ordered the N900 from Buy.com and Amazon.com they both were very happy to make an immediate funds transfer while I waited from October to 23 December to receive the goods.

If they had an orange and blue model then maybe I'd bite as those are the NY Mets colors.

In Finnish mobile forum people are reporting that N8 is available for purchase in Nokia shop in Helsinki. So September 30th hold.

I'm getting a feeling nokia is delaying products on purpose.
I really mean it.

Have they ever released a product on the (first) estimated release date?

I'm more interested in the rumour mill.. the Nokia N9 (supposedly going to be running Meego) has the potential to be a more elegant, less heavy, thinner version of the N900.

Also, it would be nice if the above hypothetical device had 3D sat-nav (which is being developed for the last year by Navteq) with voice guided directions.. Oh yeah and Open Office should be pre-installed on it 'out of the box'.

I personally wouldn't buy anything from a place that charges credit card as soon as preorder has been made... they are only taking free loan on your expense with such maneuvers.

The best thing about N8 beeing out is that people will probably finally stop calling N900 "the flagship device".

setting release dates only pisses ppl of. Couse they never tend to keep em. ID Software (quake-series doom etc) Had a great strategy.
When asked about release date they allways answered
"When its done"

Nokia announced that if you're preorder now you'll be lucky and get the N8 by next week.
