“We have communicated to employee representatives and employees that we are currently targeting to announce the implications of these changes towards the end of April,” a spokesperson told ZDNet UK today. “At present we have not given a specific date.”

The cuts stem from Nokia’s big tie-in with Microsoft, which will see the Finnish handset maker adopt Windows Phone 7 as its primary platform. Nokia’s work on MeeGo will be severely downgraded–the company intends to release only one device using the Linux-based OS this year–while the still-widespread Symbian platform is to be phased out over the next two years.
