German minister joins boycott of Nokia mobiles

A German government minister said Friday he was joining in a boycott of Nokia mobile phones after the Finnish manufacturer announced it was closing Germany's last surviving wireless handset factory.

Horst Seehofer, the German agriculture minister, told reporters in Berlin that he was changing to another brand of mobile phone "because I don't like the way they are doing this."
