Begin from 2011 all new Nokia smartphones will come with NFC

All Nokia phone which was launched in 2011 will be equipped with NFC technology. This was stated by Anssi Vanjoki, Executive VP of Nokia on his presentation in Helsinki.

NFC (Near Field Communications) is a close-range wireless communications technology that enables the exchange of data between devices within a distance of about 10 cm. Using NFC technology, users can perform transactions in small amounts (micropayment) by phone close to a data reader. In addition to financial transactions, mobile phones with NFC technology could be used as transport tickets, posters and readers smart house key.

This is not the first time Nokia NFC offensive presence on the cell phone. Previously, Nokia has announced the Nokia 6216 Classic with NFC support.
