Near Field Communication (NFC) allows simple and secure communication between compatible devices when tapped together over short distances. It establishes Bluetooth connections to enable sharing content like photos and contacts. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz and transmits data up to 424 Kbits/sec. Key uses include tapping to receive information from NFC tags, pairing devices easily, and future contactless transactions using mobile devices as payment cards. Current Nokia devices supporting NFC include the C7, Oro, and N9 phones.
