Nokia N91 Music Phone Pushed to 2006

Nokia on Tuesday officially said it was delaying the much-anticipated N91 music phone until the first quarter of next year, citing the desire to make the phone work with as many music providers as possible and hold thousands of songs. Motorola's ROKR iTunes phone can store a maximum of 100 songs.

Nokia recently unveiled its 6630 Music Edition phone that supports MP3, AAC and WMA. The company told Reuters that Microsoft's DRM was the primary reason for the delay, saying it needed more time to ensure a solid implementation of the copyright protection software. The N91 boasts a 4GB hard drive for music and features built-in support for Wi-Fi.
