At the launch of their new Symbian handsets in Hong Kong Nokia made a point of proclaiming their commitment to Near Field Communication technology, a feature of all three of their new Symbian handsets.

Ilari Nurmi, a vice-president of Nokia, said the company was moving aggressively to promote the NFC system.

"From now on, all of our products will have an NFC chip inside. All other NFC-equipped devices can also link to our products," he said.

Mark Selby, the vice-president for multimedia, said the company plans to embed the technology in its Windows Phone 7 handsets also.

NFC technology will enable the three new Nokia smartphones to pair with other NFC-enabled mobile accessories including speakers, Bluetooth headphones and headsets simply by tapping them together.
