According to the Finnish publication YLE, Nokia’s last mobile phone factory in the country has stopped producing handsets. The last phones from the plant in Salo were completed on Wednesday.

Nokia confirmed its plans to close the plant today. The move was expected, as TNW reported in June. While the factory will not build more phones, it won’t be formally closed until September. According to The Nokia Blog, an unofficial publication that covers the company, some 780 people will lose their jobs.
