Nokia releases phone shell for contactless payments

Nokia has released a shell for its series 3220 mobile phone that will enable consumers to use the hand set for making contactless payments, according to finextra.

"The shell uses near field communications (NFC) technology and allows customers to make payments by pointing the phone at a point-of-sale terminal. Payment information, such as debit and credit card details, is stored in an integrated smart chip in the shell.

The Nokia NFC shell for payment and ticketing will be available in mid 2005 and will be distributed to customers by mobile network operators."
