    We already know that Nokia has started shutting down some of its online stores, such as those in Spain, France, and Finland, but we didn’t expect to see the U.S. and U.K. web outlets close so soon after.

    That’s right folks, Nokia online is gone. Forever. In fact, the only online stores Nokia has left are in China, Portugal and a few South American countries. Luckily for the end user, Nokia phones are still available across a number of different online retailers including Amazon.

    Go ahead and regulate your breathing, Nokia fans. Everything’s going to be fine. Well, everything will be fine as long as the Finnish phone giant wasn’t lying when it said these shut downs are about a transition to carrier shelves, and not a result of poor sales.
