PC World reports that Nokia is killing off its Symbian operating system in order to make way for Windows Phone 7.

Weber said that the company plans to exit both the low-end and Symbian smartphone business in the region as part of a broader effort to focus on Windows Phone 7. I'm not sure if that move is a good one: so far, Microsoft's new mobile operating system has not sold so well.
