Microsoft is laying off "dozens" more employees associated with its mobile business, according to a February 10 report from the Finnish newspaper Helsigin Sanomat.

The cuts are happening in Finland and heavily targeting those involved in marketing, the report says. (Thanks to @teroalhonen for the HS link.)

Microsoft Mobile Oy is the name of Espoo, Finland-based Microsoft's mobile subsidiary, created following Microsoft's purchase of Nokia's handset business. Last year, Microsoft acknowledged it was cutting 2,300 jobs in Finland, and shuttering the Salo Lumia manufacturing unit. Before those cuts, there were 3,200 Microsoft employees in Finland.
