The company plans to cut over €700 million (US$900 million) in costs by the coming fiscal.

Eija-Riita Huovinen, communications manager at Nokia, said that the largest number of job cuts will be made in Finland.

Helsinki - Nokia, the world's largest maker of mobile phones, Wednesday said it planned to concentrate its mobile research and development to fewer sites in Finland and introduce temporary layoffs to counter lower demand.
The site for mobile research and development in the city of Jyvaskyla, was to be closed by the end of 2009, impacting some 320 employees, the group said.

However, the Nokia Xpress Music comes with a higher price tag of $400.
It would be very pleasing to know that Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device is not like any other lay phone as Nokia has positioned it as its first mass-market touchscreen device. But what has ignited the interest of the users is the free year-long music subscription called 'Comes With Music' that came with the phone.
