Nokia Cutting Jobs
It looks like Nokia are planning on cutting 360 jobs in their Internet services division. This is all part of the plan as they continue to put more focus on their Ovi Store. We know that Nokia plan on launching the store in direct competition with the Apple Applications Store. Sure do have seen the financial numbers that Apple are churning out and this is the reason why they are putting more focus on this area. Of course this is unfortunate for the people who have just lost their jobs.
We know in a few months ago that Motorola announced that they will also be cutting jobs so this is a global phenomenon as the global recession really starts to affect the mobile phone manufacturers. Sony Ericsson of course has announced Job puts over the past few months also.
It’s quite difficult to know when the likes of Nokia and Motorola will turn around sales so that we can hope to see an end to these types of announcements and job cuts. We know back in January that Motorola’s sales were down about 38% in Q4 the previous year so hopefully they have been able to turn this around.
