Nokia 6212 Classic + NFC

A Prototype was already shown at an NFC Conference in London (03/2008) and WIMA (04/2008).  There you could see the following/get the following information: A very nice thing about the Nokia 6212 is the design of the antenna, thus you do not need to touch the phone at a special point. Just bring the phone close to a smartposter/tag/other phone and you will see a reaction. There are some new features implemented like saving alarms on tags etc. One Issue is, that the display light needs to be on, order to have also the reader/write capabilities on as well. This is the way to safe battery. The device uses an intern secure element (as the Nokia 6131) and NOT (!) the UICC.

Using the UICC is not a matter of firmware. In order to talk to the SIM (thru the NFC Chip!) it requires the NFC Chip to support HCI and SWP and at the moment the used chip for the of-the-shelf-phone does not support that.

NFC Phones using single wire Protocol and UICC

There are already several phones out in the market using the UICC as the secure element today (08/2008): The Sagem my700X, the LG L600V, the Nokia 6131 SWP and the Motorola SLVR L7. All devices are more or less concept devices and come with an Inside NFC Chip inside. The device have been shown already at Cartes 2007 and Mobile World Congress 2008. In order to develop applications with these devices an SDK (like the Gemalto Developer Suite) and a SWP UICC is required. All four devices are already capable of using SCWS.

The Motorola, the Sagem as well as the LG are used in the Payez Mobile NFC Trial in Strassbourg and Caen. The Sagem was used in a Trial with the metro in Paris too. The Touch & Travel Trial from Deutsche Bahn uses the Motorola.
