Nokia has announced the launch of three new mass market NFC-enabled smart phones.

Running on Nokia’s new Symbian Belle OS, the Nokia 200, 701 and 600 will come equipped with NFC technology for “pairing and sharing functionality,” Nokia said in a release. This will enable all three of the new smart phones to quickly share content with other NFC phones, as well as pair with NFC-enabled mobile accessories such as speakers or Bluetooth headphones and headsets.

Nokia has also come out with an Essence Bluetooth Stereo Headset, which can be paired with any NFC-enabled smart phone by tapping the two devices together.

All three phones feature a 1 Ghz processor, HD video capture microSD slot. The beefed up 701 features eight GB of internal storage, compared to two GB for the other two devices. [end]
