Before you get too excited about the Nokia Aeon handset, you should know that it’s currently only a concept device and appeared as so in the film Echelon Conspiracy. With that said, we can only tell you about what we see, which is a complete touchscreen with some sort of interface that involves a virtual scroll wheel. In my opinion the handset looks a bit oversimplified, but that’s kind of the corner stone for Nokia, at least in many developing countries, right?

Visa and Nokia have officially kicked off their mobile payment service using NFC, better known as Near Field Communication. Currently the service is only available in Maylasia where users can wave their Nokia 6212 in front of contactless readers to pay for a vartiety of items at over 1,800 stores as well as parking garages and highway toll boths. Adding the Visa information to the handset is apparently as simple as downloading the appropriate information and engaging the phone’s NFC feature. NFC payments have long existed in the US, although on a extremely limited scale, and by limited I mean test only.
