By AAMIR NABEEL | INNLIVE

Microsoft is cutting hundreds of jobs, mostly in Nokia's home country of Finland.

Two years ago Microsoft acquired Nokia for $7.2bn, but Microsoft has officially announced its plans to cut its smartphone hardware division.

The company announced it will be cutting 1,850 jobs, with 1,350 jobs from its Microsoft Mobile Oy division based in Finland and the remaining 500 jobs spread across the globe. However, employees working for the Microsoft Oy division in Espoo are not involved in the restructure.
