iPhone 5 Reportedly Delayed Due To Defect in Touch Panels

You are in an iPhone Post

According to a DigiTimes report, the iPhone 5 will be delayed due to some defects in the touch panels manufactured by Wintek. According to previous reports, Apple is supposed to launch its next flagship on October 4 but initial shipment targets might not be met due to the panel issues.

Many rumors come from "the supply chain" via DigiTimes and it's up to you to believe them or not. Answering to the above report, Wintek declared that there will be no delays for either of its products. "Sources" indicated that the defect is "delayed bubble" which is "difficult to avoid during panel production, particularly when the defect is not detected during the process of laminating touch panels, and only later found during assembly".

Regardless of the alleged issues, we're not expecting the iPhone 5 to be available right away, on October 4 (if the event will even take place on that day). The phone will likely ship a tad later (a week or too after the announcement) so we'll just have to wait and see what Tim Cook tells us on stage.

Could Nokia's Sea Ray Be Delayed Until 2012?

You are in a Windows Phone Post

When is Nokia's Sea Ray WP7 smartphone going to finally arrive? We looked into some of the latest news and rumors surrounding the handset's release earlier this month, and at that point it seemed like we'd see a limited European release before the end of the year, with wider global distribution following in 2012. Now we've run across a new rumor that says we might have to wait until 2012 for even the European release of the Sea Ray.

The Street's Scott Moritz presents this as an unconfirmed rumor from an unnamed source, citing delays in the phone's release schedule. According to him, they would mean Nokia would wouldn't get the Sea Ray out anywhere in 2011. We'll have to wait and see if any evidence arrives supporting his claims, but are they at least plausible?

Last week, Nokia tweeted that its first WP7 smartphones would most assuredly be out sometime in 2011. If Moritz is right, there's the possibility that problems have crept up in the past week, or the chance that the Sea Ray will not be the first Nokia WP7 device. We mentioned this possibility earlier, since there are a couple other potential WP7 phones from Nokia that we've heard about, and while Moritz specifically talks about the Sea Ray, Nokia did not identify the model mentioned in its confirmation (though Moritz seems to believe the Sea Ray will, in fact, be the first Nokia WP7 model). It might seem more likely that Moritz got some bad information, but there's a chance he could be onto something here.

Update: Nokia is sticking to its guns, reiterating its plans for a WP7 release this year.

LG Enlighten For Verizon Delayed: "Coming Soon"

Whatever happened to the LG Enlighten? You might be more familiar with the phone as the LG Gelato Q QWERTY slider. As of late August, the phone looked all ready to launch, but its expected August 25 release date came and passed without the model materializing. Did Verizon pull a Bionic at the last moment and send it back to the drawing board? A newly-leaked image suggests that the Enlighten launch is still a "go", though doesn't help us narrow-down just when it may be.

A picture taken from an upcoming Verizon catalog shows the Enlighten as "coming soon". At least that implies that any delay may only be temporary, and that we might hope to see the phone's release in the next month or so.

We're left scratching our heads as to why the launch was re-scheduled, but wouldn't be surprised to learn it was a strategic move on Verizon's part.

The Enlighten is powered by an 800MHz single-core processor, has a 3.2-inch HVGA screen, and a 3.2-megapixel flash-less camera. Not the most interesting hardware, sure, but we'll let the phone's price speak for itself once it arrives.
