Nokia's 6212 with Bluetooth NFC: Let the pairing revolution begin!

by Thomas Ricker, posted Apr 15th 2008 at 5:16AM

This is the day we've been waiting for. While the 3G Nokia 6212 classic doesn't look like much, what it lacks in style is more than made up by the genius of Bluetooth-enabled Near Field Communication. If you remember the video we showed you way back in March of 2007, the combo makes device pairing and transferring content like photos, video, music, calendar data, contacts, etc. as easy a touching the phone to a NFC-enabled picture frame, cellphone, speaker, or headset like Nokia's own NFC-variant of the BH-210. It will also work with NFC payment systems. According to Jeremy Belostock, the Head of Near Field Communications at Nokia, "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." You said it Jeremy, you said it. Expected to start shipping in Europe and Asia in the Q3 for about €200.

I write to thank the management team of Nokia company for high technological skills in ensuring that users of GSM have the best and handsets with day in day out modification in tune with the current world trends.

I request that, this company be establish in my country Nigeria as well so that Nigerians can also have advantage of knowing much in this technology, and by this labour will be employed thus, reducing poverty.

Thanks for brain work.
