NFC-enabled handset offers new and easy ways to access and share
content

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today introduced the Nokia 6212 classic
featuring integrated Near Field Communication (NFC). The 3G handset
allows consumers to conveniently share content, access services and
information as well as conduct payments and ticketing with one tap of
the device. The Nokia 6212 classic is expected to start shipping in
the third quarter of 2008 in select markets in Europe and Asia with
an estimated retail price of EUR 200 before taxes and subsidies.

"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," says Jeremy Belostock, the Head of Near Field
Communications, Nokia.  "With the Nokia 6212 classic, people can swap
items like business cards or calendar notes by simply tapping their
handsets together. With ever-increasing device functions and services
available, ease-of-use is essential. One way to keep things simple is
NFC."

Near Field Communication is designed for intuitive, simple and safe
interaction between electronic devices. By tapping an NFC-enabled
tag, consumers can receive new content such as weblinks, audio files
or contact data directly to their phone. They can activate a profile
in their handset or open applications such as FM radio or web
browser. Photos and videos can be easily shared by tapping another
NFC-capable phone and pairing with a Bluetooth NFC-enabled device,
like the new NFC variant of the Nokia BH-210 headset, happens with
just one touch. The lightweight Nokia BH-210 with NFC headset allows
users to access all functions easily with a single multifunction key.
The widely compatible headset can be used with a number of Nokia
devices as well as other manufacturers' phones.

The Nokia 6212 classic can also be used as a travel ticket or for
mobile payments. Travel tickets can be charged over the air, so there
is no need to wait at the service counter. Users can store their
credit card information on the device and access their account online
directly from the handset. Using the Nokia 6212 classic for payment
and ticketing purposes requires a service subscription and the
installation of an appropriate secure application. Security for
transactions is assured as the handset can be set to allow payment
only when the user expressly authorizes the transaction via an
additional passcode.

The Nokia 6212 classic allows consumers to personalize and edit their
own NFC tags, be it for writing calendar entries or setting the alarm
clock. The sales pack of the Nokia 6212 classic comes with three
sticker tags, one of which opens the NFC introduction in the phone.

The slimline Nokia 6212 classic comes with an extensive set of
features such as a 2 megapixel camera, bright 2-inch QVGA display,
stereo FM radio and music player supporting multiple formats. An
optional microSD memory card of up to 4GB provides ample space for
personal content such as images and songs.
