I’m sick and tired writing about the Nokia N8 because it’s old news as far as I’m concerned. It was announced on April 27 and if rumors are true then it’s going to launch on September 25; over 150 days later or almost 5 months! Not only is it shipping 5 months after the announcement date, but it’s going to be available in extremely limited quantities. Not only are quantities going to be limited either, but they’re going to be running buggy software since the N8 is due to get a firmware update in November that adds DivX support, a newer version of the browser, and fix a large number of stability issues and bugs
