CNET says the N8 will be the last N-series smartphone to use Symbian.
"Going forward, N-series devices will be based on MeeGo," said a spokesman.
Symbian will still be installed on low and mid-end phones from the world's largest phone maker, however.
Nokia has spent many millions on developing the Symbian OS, only to see their smartphone market share deteriorate thanks to Apple and Android.
MeeGo was created earlier this year, a merged effort by Nokia and Intel, mixing their Maemo and Moblin operating systems.
