coolrajiv 1 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Nokia Launches New Handset With NFC Nokia has introduced the Nokia 6212 classic featuring integrated Near Field Communication (NFC). The 3G handset has been designed to simplify sharing content, access services and information as well as conduct payments and ticketing. "NFC-capable handsets such as the Nokia 6212 classic are set to change the way mobile phone users interact with devices and services in their surroundings," says Jeremy Belostock, the Head of Near Field Communications, Nokia. "With the Nokia 6212 classic, people can swap items like business cards or calendar notes by simply tapping their handsets together." Near Field Communication is designed for intuitive, simple and safe interaction between electronic devices. By tapping an NFC-enabled tag, consumers can receive new content such as weblinks, audio files or contact data directly to their handset. They can activate a profile in their mobile or open applications such as the FM radio or web browser. Photos and videos can also be shared by tapping another NFC-capable phone and pairing with a Bluetooth NFC-enabled device. The Nokia 6212 classic allows consumers to personalize and edit their own NFC tags, be it for writing calendar entries or setting the alarm clock. The sales pack of the Nokia 6212 classic comes with three sticker tags, one of which opens the NFC introduction in the phone. The Nokia 6212 classic can also be used as a travel ticket or for mobile payments. Travel tickets can be charged over the air, so there is no need to wait at the service counter. Users can store their credit card information on the device and access their account online directly from the handset. Using the Nokia 6212 classic for payment and ticketing purposes requires a service subscription and the installation of an appropriate secure application. Security for transactions is assured as the handset can be set to allow payment only when the user expressly authorizes the transaction via an additional passcode. The 6212 classic also comes equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, a 2-inch QVGA display, stereo FM radio, music player and extra memory via microSD cards. The Nokia 6212 classic is expected to start shipping in the third quarter of 2008 in select markets in Europe and Asia with an estimated retail price of Rs. 12,525 (EURO 200) before taxes and subsidies.
