News Summary: Nokia cuts 10,000 jobs




PAYROLL CUTS: Nokia says it will slash 10,000 jobs and close plants. More than a third of the global job cuts, to be completed by the end of 2013, will be in Finland.

GRIM FINANCES: Nokia Corp. says heavy competition will continue to hit its smartphone sector, but to a "somewhat greater extent than previously expected." It says the downturn will continue in the third quarter.

THE BACKDROP: Nokia faces fierce competition from Apple Inc.'s iPhone and phone makers using Google Inc.'s Android. It is also being squeezed in the low-end by Asian manufacturers making cheaper phones.
