We will continue to innovate across devices and on our cloud services across all mobile platforms.” Earlier this month, Microsoft divested its entry-level feature phones business for $350 million. It bought Nokia’s once-dominant handset unit for about $7.2 billion, but it failed to turn the business around and last year announced $7.5 billion writedowns, and 7,800 job cuts.
