NTT DoCoMo has put on hold its plans to launch a smartphone with the new open-source Tizen mobile operating system, a spokesman said Friday.

"We're revising our plan to release it this fiscal year, but haven't decided to abandon it," said Jun Ootori, a spokesman for the Japanese telecommunications giant.

"The conditions surrounding the Japanese smartphone market and the timing aren't good right now," he added. "We haven't decided anything about the future but we are working with members of the (Tizen) association. We haven't decided on a launch."

Tizen is a Linux-based OS for smartphones, tablets, and other devices that has been seen as an alternative to Google's Android. It also has the backing of Intel and Samsung Electronics.
