Advantage of Pre-Christmas Selling Season: The launch of Nokia N8 was originally scheduled for June which later got delayed to September. Nokia expressed its optimism to start shipping N8 by the end of third quarter. But Nokia is very anxious to take maximum advantage of the important pre-Christmas selling season and wants to deliver the N8 to the market just in time.
Making Final Adjustments: Nokia has also committed to remove any glitches in the N8 so that the initial review of the product hits the bull’s eye and place it against its smartphone rivals such as iPhone, HTC, Motorola and Sony Ericsson that use Android OS.

In its official blog Nokia said that it advised its pre-order customers that they should expect their new Nokia N8 in October. The mobile maker believes that N8 will help it bring back the market share it lost since 2007 when Apple launched iPhone. Nokia share registered a shrink to over 60% since iPhone was unveiled.
