Nokia intros NFC enabled smartphones

Nokia today announced the launch of three feature-packed, mass market smartphones which run on Symbian Belle. According to a company release, the new smartphones Nokia 700, Nokia 701 and Nokia 600 come with with single-tap NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. The new handsets also promises a powerful mobile Web browsing experience, Nokia said.

Apart from allowing content to be shared between devices, NFC capabilities allow any of the three new smartphones to pair with NFC-enabled mobile accessories such as speakers or Bluetooth headphones and headsets. To extend the range of available NFC-enabled accessories, Nokia is also announcing the launch of the Nokia Essence Bluetooth Stereo Headset, which can be paired with any NFC-enabled smartphone simply by tapping the two devices together, the release added.

“After bringing exciting new features to the Symbian user experience only two months ago with Symbian Anna, we are now driving the platform even further with our most competitive Symbian user experience ever,” said Ilari Nurmi, vice president at Nokia. “Symbian Belle and the three new handsets we are launching today show our commitment to continue delivering Symbian products that allow people to choose what is most important to them in terms of user experience, design, functionality and price. These will not be last products or updates we will deliver on Symbian.”
