Nokias new 6212 Classic Featuring NFC

Nokia introduced new Classic 6221 with NFC

A short-range wireless communication technology for electronic devices, with a reach of a couple of inches, NFC enables users to receive new content such as Web links, audio files or contact data directly to their phone. Users can also personalize and edit their own NFC tags -- be it for writing calendar entries or setting the alarm clock. Interestingly, playing the role of a wallet, this new NFC-enabled handset also allows users to access services and information as well as conduct payments and book tickets with a single tap of the device. Tickets can be booked over the air, which obviates the need to wait at the service counter. Users can store their credit card information on the device and access the account online from the handset. However, all of this can be done after subscribing to a service and installing an appropriate secure application. To ensure secure transactions, which Nokia guarantees, the handset can be set to allow payment only after the transaction is authorized via an additional password.
