HELSINKI (AP) -- Nokia Corp. says its top N8 model, aimed at making up lost ground in the smart phone market, has had power problems with some handsets not turning on after recharging.

Nokia spokeswoman Eija-Riitta Huovinen says the problem is limited to "a small number of handsets" and will be fixed in line with Nokia warranty rules.

Huovinen says Nokia has identified the problem and "has taken immediate precautionary measures."

Nokia said Friday that it has not had any other complaints about the N8 touch screen phone, which features a 12-megapixel digital camera and 3.5 inch display, since the company started shipping the handsets in September.
