Thankfully Nokia has now decided to offer more details on its release.

Slash Gear reports that the N8 will be available to order online from October 15th, but those wanting to purchase from a UK retail store will have to wait another week, October 22nd. However, the smartphone will then be available to purchase on all carriers and certain stores.

Those stores will include Carphone Warehouse, Phones 4 U and Tesco, as well as all the network stores. OK, so we know that you will have to wait another week if you do not wish to order online – we just hope that Nokia will be able to keep up with demand.

Will the idea that you have to wait an extra week to purchase the Nokia N8 in store persuade you to purchase online a week earlier?

As reported from Reuters, Symbian^3 will now be available in Q3 instead. The delay is down to quality as Nokia wants to deliver the best available product before releasing to the public. However, the company has now cut the outlook for its operating profit margin this year to 11-13 percent – it was originally at 12-14 percent.

The delay of Symbian^3 has already reached the analysts and they predict further worries ahead for Nokia if they do not release it to the market soon.

Neil Mawston, an analyst from Strategy Analytics had this to say on the matter: “Psychologically it is a blow as well as iPhone, Blackberry ad Android are surging ahead with software updates. Symbian cannot afford any delays.”

What are your thoughts on the delay? Were you looking forward to seeing some of the features seen in the video below?

As reported from Pocket-Lint, Symbian^3 will be the next version of the famous platform and is expected to be ready, or ‘code complete’ as they call it, by the end of next month.

As you watch the video, you’ll see Symbian^3 borrow features from the N900 such as multiple homepages, extensive widget support, much faster operation thanks to improved 3D graphics acceleration and much more.

Networking will also be upgraded to allow faster usage, while Pocket-Lint states that support for HDMI will become standard with the rollout of Symbian^3 devices.

But when will we see a compatible handset you ask? As early as Q3 this year if reports are to be believed. Check out the video below, then let us know what you think of it.

Pretty good, no?
