It is in a very problematic position right now. It's flagship device, N900, is not a mass market device and is not being readily sold anymore. It's claimed flagship deviced, N97, is like the most poorly rated smartphone.

Meanwhile there are loads of amazing android phones coming out as well as iphone 4 just released. It needed to get N8 out as soon as possible not postpone its release till September. Most people upgrading now will skip the current Nokia phones and will be unwilling to wait till September for the N8. They will just go to Android or iphone. So Nokia is losing potential customers each day it delays. They also needed to release videos or something of N9 as soon as possible for those who have no interest in symbian and may be considering getting an android or iphone. But that cannot happen now because they have to wait for N8 to come out before revealing anything of N9.

Of course better to delay to make sure everything is working whoell before release but when did Nokia do that? They will delay and probably still release a buggy device.

That's what they say, but the real reason is that Nokia is about to launch the awesome OVImacs. It vastly improves on the traditional editor experience by integrating Twitter and Facebook. It also Comes With Music, order now and you get the Rihanna Special.
