Sad news for everyone who pre-ordered the Nokia N8 and expected to receive it promptly. Nokia has pushed back the release a few weeks and will arrive in October for its customers. Nokia stated that the delay is primarily due to improve it by making last minute adjustments to it before being shipped. Time will tell if the improvements made was truly worth the wait. Check out the official statement below.
The amount of preorders has exceeded our expectations and we are working hard to deliver the Nokia N8 to the market. In some markets, 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.
