Handset maker Nokia said that six of its new smart phones missed their planned first-quarter launch deadlines as it works to sort out their software .
One of these phones is Nokia's premium music phone, the N91. Nokia Multimedia division spokesman Kari Tuutti said that the N91 model, which includes a 4GB HDD, will be ready to launch this week.
He also said that the N71 and N80 phones would start deliveries in the next two weeks or so. The N91 was intended for release before Christmas last year.
Nokia had said that a primary reason for the delay of the N91's release was ensuring a solid implementation of Microsoft's Windows Media DRM software. The company wants the phone to be compatible with as many music providers as possible. The phone supports the MP3, M4A, AAC and WMA formats.
The phone's 4-gigabyte hard drive stores up to 3,000 songs.
"Because the devices are pocketable computers, we need to make sure of the software," Tuutti said.
The company's business phones, the E60, E61 and E70, that also missed their March launch, will not be launched until Nokia makes sure the software has been properly tested.
