The 6212 Classic is Nokia’s first NFC (Near Field Communications) enabled device with 3G capabilities. You may remember the 3220 which had a shell you could purchase to enable NFC and then the 6131 which was announced early last year, neither of these took off and I’m wondering if the 6212 Classic will face the same fate?

For 200 EUR in the third quarter of this year you will be able to pick up this device which has a 2 inch 240×320 resolution screen that displays 16 million colors, FM radio, Bluetooth, support for microSDHC, 2 megapixel camera, quadband GSM/EDGE, dual band WCDMA (850/2100 MHz), 1000 mAh battery and weighs only 88 grams while being relatively tiny at 114.7 mm x 47.1 mm x 14.5 mm.

More information about the device can be found here along with a full image (only 2 images) gallery here.
