Nokia announced plans to scale back its ambitions to expand in mobile services and instead cooperate more with third-party content and applications providers. The handset maker said it will focus spending on fewer services initiatives, in an attempt to simplify and improve the user experience. As part of the announced changes, all mobile games will now become available through the Ovi Store, in addition to through their existing channels. While no specific product changes were mentioned in the statement, this suggest the company may be scaling back its N-Gage gaming services portal in favour of focusing on the Ovi Store. In addition, Nokia will add a variety of third-party partners, such as other image and social networking sites, to the camera and sharing features on its mobile phones. The streamlined services offering as well as planned changes at its its corporate development office will lead to another 450 job cuts worldwide. Nokia said the changes are part of its wider restructuring plans aimed at maintaining profitability through the economic slowdown.
