Nokia has decided to close down two of their flagship stores located on the US, more specifically the stores located in New York and Chicaco.

Is it the time of crisis on the whole wide world? Did the big giant Nokia get hit by it? What do you think? Well, according to Nokia the reason to close it down is easy to understand:

The Flagship stores, opened in 2006 in the U.S., were conceived to inspire and educate consumers to the benefits of mobility through an innovative retail experience, and broaden the appeal of the Nokia brand.

The decision to close the two Nokia Flagship Stores in the U.S., located in New York City and Chicago, was made to create clear alignment with our local market strategy and in addition, as part of a global realignment of Nokia’s retail strategy.

PS – stores will close in early 2010.
