Nokia, the world´s leading mobile phone maker, said it plans to cut 1,700 jobs globally in the next couple of months. The workforce reduction is part of a major cost-cutting drive and will be across a number of departments, including marketing, development and support functions. About 700 jobs will be lost in Finland. Nokia employs about 125,000 people worldwide.
