Nokia: Symbian, S40 to take the exit out of North America

Nokia Symbian Touch UI

As Nokia gears towards the launch of their first Windows Phone 7 device, the Finnish giant has announced that it will be pulling their Symbian and S40 phones out of the North American market.



This information was relayed by the Nokia Inc. President Chris Weber in an interview with AllThingsD. According to him, Nokia will be out of the Symbian and S50 business in the North America when they launch their Window Phone 7 devices. Their focus will then be just on the new phones and their accessories. Nokia knows that this may be their last chance at a comeback and if that fails anything else won’t work either, as has already been proven by the mediocre success of Nokia’s other platforms in the North America.

As for the Windows Phone 7 devices, Weber mentioned that Nokia is putting a lot of effort and investment into them and the phones are being developed in and for the North America and will be sold globally. We hope for their sake that their efforts aren’t in vain.

Reading all the comments here it looks like nobody has seen or used WP7 yet... Try it and the whole argument is going to be different... It is simple, fast and very user friendly yet innovative... Im still stuck with Symbian though :p
