0 The delayed Nokia N8 release

Nokia has delayed shipment of the N8, the first mobile phone to run the latest version of Symbian software and a device that the company has a lot of hopes from .

Nokia says "In some markets, we had planned to start delivering the N8s to our pre-order customers by the end of September," the company said in a statement. "To ensure a great user experience, we have decided to hold the shipments for a few weeks to do some final amends. We expect consumers to get their Nokia N8s during October."

The delay of the N8 comes just as Nokia's new leader takes the helm. Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo's last day as CEO was Monday, with the former president of Microsoft's business software group, Stephen Elop, taking over.
