Nokia's municipal workers will finally be given mobile handsets to replace their landline phones in a move aimed at improving communications.

Martin Andersson, the town's IT project leader, says they want to make employees more reachable.

The town of 28-thousand in southern Finland is where Nokia Corporation started 140 years ago as a wood pulp mill.

The local council will provide 13-hundred municipal employees with mobile handsets by June, and have a guess at what brand of phone they will use.
