Nokia Taps Into NFC for Latest Phone


Today Nokia announced the 6212 Classic, a bar-style phone that incorporates near-field communications technology for mobile payment services. Users of the 6212 Classic will be able to initiate instant data transfers for information such as web links, audio files, pictures, or contact data simply by tapping the phone against objects with embedded NFC tags. It can also be used as a ticket for travel as well as instant payments if credit card information is stored on the phone. The 6212 is a 3G phone, but will only support European and Asia 3G networks. It also has a 2 megapixel camera, FM radio and a microSD slot that is compatible with cards up to 4GB. It will be available in certain European and Asian markets in the third quarter of the year for $320.
