Nokia axe upcoming S60 models to focus on services?

Looks like Nokia have taken a hatchet to their plans for 2010, with top-insider Eldar Murtazin tweeting that he’s heard the Finnish company have deleted several S60-based handsets from their roadmap.  Instead, it seems they’ll be focussing more on services.

Murtazin’s full message reads “Nokia just cancel on last week some S60 products and re-working on roadmap. A lot of efforts on services, not on devices itself. Pity.”  He’s best known for running Russian site Mobile-Review, and for often getting new handsets in months in advance.

There’s no indication of which products Nokia might have axed, nor whether we’ve previously heard about them in recent leaks.  Nokia have rearranged their line-up nomenclature, to better position different models in ranges according to functionality and cost.
