While the main press furore at CES may have been around the iphone I was much more interested to see Nokia announce its first fully integrated NFC phone based on the Nokia 6131. The specification says that it supports JSR 257 but doesn’t list this of those preinstalled which may mean you need to get access through Nokia as for the previous NFC phones

The phone will allow users to have their credit card, travel card and loyalty card in on a phone plus many other activities. Much is talked about disruptive technologies, i.e technologies than produce enormous changes in society, and I believe NFC could well be such a technology particularly when coupled with a phone. As and example I blogged a while ago about the NFC poster specification being finalised and coupled with this type of device we could well be at the dawn of a whole new advertising and distribution were a poster for a band may allow you to download a ringtone or a poster for a movie may allow you to download the trailer.

So I say forget the iphone get yourself a Nokia 6131 NFC!
