Nokia 6131 NFC - When?

[no_username_left]

Hello Forum

I'm desperatly waiting for the Nokia 6131 NFC to be available for purchase. We need it for a project at our university that (among other things) will use NFC. I've two questions:
1. Is there a more precise date than 1st quarter 2007 for the phone to be available?
2. Is it possible to get the phone earlier through some other channel than mobile shops around the corner?

Thanks!
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

If you're interested in developing applications for the 6131 NFC, you can download the JSR 257 Reference Implementation SDK from Nokia.

I wrote an article about this on my blog: http://danielsweblog.blogspot.com/20...mentation.html

Christoph,

1) More precise shipping dates are not available. Unfortunately.
2) Nokia online store maybe http://direct.nokia.com/countries.aspx

Which university are you working for?

best regards,

Nokia appears to have some models, since they showed off the 6131 NFC at CES.

Perhaps you could get in contact with them and ask them for one of these phones?

Hi Hartti
I work for the university of applied science Lucerne. The 6131 NFC would be very useful, because the NFC enabled phones we have so far ar all very limited

I tried the store, but the only thing I see there is Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, no general list of items or something.

Hi Danny

Thanks for the Link to the jsr 257 RI, I'll check it out.
Getting in touch with Nokia also came to my mind, but I didn't find any contact-information beside support. I asked a nokia service point dealer about the phone, but he didn't have any information either. So I'm pretty lost with this option, unless you have some idea?

Christoph,

What I meant to say was that after the phone has been launched in the market, it might be available sooner in the online shop than at your local dealer. As it is not out yet, it won't be available in the online store either.

The devices shown in CES were prototypes only.

Sorry, no ideas. Can't help you with that.
