The world’s first
fully integrated, commercial NFC handset, the Nokia 6131 NFC phone will be available in Germany on March 3.
Featuring
the same slim folding lines and outstanding features, the Nokia 6131
NFC handset includes Near Field Communications (NFC) technology to
enable information sharing, service initiation and payment &
ticketing capability with one tap of the device. Used in much the same
way as existing contactless cards and keytags to allow access and make
small payments, the addition of NFC technology to a full featured
mobile device adds an entirely new level of capability by leveraging
the phone’s computing power, wireless Internet access and user
interface.

Unlike
a simple card or keytag, which only allows for one-way communication,
an NFC-enabled mobile phone allows users to realize the benefits of a
fully interactive experience. For example, touching an NFC-enabled
advertising poster or informational kiosk can automatically link the
user to interactive Internet based information, open an audio file, or
download new content directly to the handset. Additionally, an extra
layer of security is enabled when making contactless payments since the
handset can be set to allow payment information only when the user
expressly authorizes the transaction via a password, unlike a card or
tag, which can be used by whoever has it in their possession.

Along
with its NFC features, the Nokia 6131 NFC phone includes an extensive
set of today’s most wanted wireless features. A built-in digital music
player with microSD card support and FM stereo radio allow customers to
enjoy their favorite music on the go. A 1.3 megapixel camera, featuring
a dedicated camera button and 8x digital zoom makes it easy to capture
and share images. Bluetooth wireless technology enables easy connection
to a wide selection of Nokia enhancements and PC’s or even the ability
to go handsfree in compatible automobiles.
