We don’t need to define NFC (Near Field Communications). Both RFID and NFC technology provide same services and function more or less similarly. The only distinguishing point of them is the reading range. In case of NFC, the range of reading is very close making it fit for contactless payments.
Mobile giant Nokia is developing its next handheld device in RFID line. Dubbed as Nokia 6131 NFC, the handheld device enables you to make payments and share information.
The clamshell-style phone has a music player, MicroSD card slot, FM radio,1.3 mega pixel camera and Bluetooth.
It is equipped with NFC components above its display to make a payment easier than before. You just need hold a part of the device near the payment reader to make a payment.
As of now, Nokia is joining hands with Cingular for trailing the device in America. The phone will be shipped during the first quarter of this year for $340.
