Nokia plans to stop selling both feature phones and Symbian-based smartphones in the United States and Canada as it tries to put all of its muscle behind the company’s huge bet on Windows Phone . In an interview with AllThingsD , the head of Nokia’s U.S. subsidiary said that the company will also focus exclusively on sales through traditional wireless carriers. In the past, Nokia has sold its smartphones at full price to consumers, after finding carriers unwilling to significantly subsidize or market the products.

In an interview with AllThingsD , Nokia’s head of US operations revealed that the brand’s feature phones and smartphones would no longer be sold to Canadian and US consumers.

Nokia smartphones have struggled with North American audiences, finding themselves largely without carrier support and eclipsed by the success of the iPhone and popular Android manufacturers, like Samsung and HTC.

I've spent a bunch of time talking to entrepreneurs who are building companies in and around the cloud storage space. It's not a space I like very much because I don't think we'll be using files in the cloud.
