If you look at first time at Nokia 6131, it will look like a budget-minded mobile phone, but when you integrate with an RFID chip under the hood, the Nokia 6131 obtains an interesting function. The modified version has been dubbed the Nokia 6131 NFC for Near Field Communication.
The heavily modified Nokia 6131 mobile handset includes an integrated RFID chip, which stores all of important credit card information. The Nokia 6131 includes a special sensor, which will bring your financial information on a cell phone, so that you can purchase goods.
The chip stores all of your personal financial information, which allows for instant payment. With the use of RFID chip, the mobile phone effectively transformed into a ‘touch to-pay’ device, it means you can use you Nokia device across any reader and make a payment at participating retailers.
Nokia claimed that the system integrated in the Nokia 6131 NFC is very secure but how much secure it is when your Nokia is in someone else hands. Especially when there is no signature or PIN number required for purchases.
