Dell has nixed its last standing Venue and Venue Pro smartphones and no replacements have been announced. The smartphones had run their course, a Dell spokesman said.

"Mobility products have shorter lifecycles than laptops and desktops," he said.

Dell will introduce more mobile products in the U.S. later this year, but the spokesman didn't say if smartphones will be among them.

Ending the Venue sales means Dell has discontinued all its U.S. smartphone brands, after with the Aero smartphone and Streak 5 combined tablet/smartphone. Its Venue smartphones were offered with Google's Android and Microsoft Windows Phone 7 operating systems. Dell around a year later, and stopped selling Streak 7 late last year.

Dell continues to sell smartphones outside the U.S. It sells the Venue Pro in India, the Venue in South Korea, a Streak smartphone in Japan, and Streak smartphones and tablets in China. The company also offers Streak tablets in some other countries.
