Nokia's plans for more mobile services have experienced a few problems as its gaming services face additional delays due to software testing.

Moreover, Warner Music pulled its content out of Nokia's recently opened music download service, further compounding its worries.

Overall, gaming and music are the cornerstones of Nokia's "Ovi" Internet Services brand.

The company initially anticipated its gaming service would be available globally by November, but has pushed the launch date back to next month due to various technical issues.

Additionally, within the same week that Nokia launched its music service in Britian, Warner announced it is withholding its content from the service due to concerns over illegal downloads.

Nokia has said repeatedly that it has "done a lot" to safeguard its content, and it is still in talks with Warner.

The company also said that even without Warner's content, there are still more than two million sound tracks available with its music service.

Nokia also said that it plans to go ahead with scheduled launches of its new service in Germany, France and Spain before the year is over.
