IT Comms news: Nokia - 1,800 jobs slashed
Nokia's major reorganisation will see 1,800 jobs cut, and a
smartphone product realignment.
Quarterly results last week saw a growth in Smartphone sales but
a drop off in their lower end device range due to issues sourcing
screen and camera supply constraints.
Nokia's CEO, Stephen Elop, observed Nokia's pipeline as being
full of 'unpolished gems' that could be realised through the
deployment of a 'crisply articulated strategy'.

David Powell commented, "While iPhone sales have outstripped
RIM's devices, and Windows Phone 7 giving Samsung and HTC and lift,
Nokia need to freshen up their device offering with a new user
experience."
