Nokia delays phablet launch after Microsoft deal: source

Nokia has delayed the launch of a large-screen "phablet" device, originally planned for late September, following a deal to sell its handset business and license patents to Microsoft, a source said on Monday. 

Nokia had planned to announce new devices including a phablet, a smartphone with a screen larger than 5in, to revamp its lineup of Lumia smartphones which use Microsoft's Windows Phone software, according to sources familiar with the plan prior to the Microsoft deal.
