For those living in the UK, the good news is that thanks to a leaked video, the Nokia Lumia 610 appears to be launching on the Orange carrier and will come with NFC. Microsoft had long teased Windows Phone users with the possibility of NFC, and it looks like if you were looking forward to an NFC-enabled Windows Phone device, the Lumia 610 might very well be the handset you are looking for. Not only will the NFC capabilities allow for the device to support Mastercard’s PayPass, but will also allow the device to pair with some of Nokia’s accessories, like its wireless Bluetooth speakers. The YouTube video has since been taken down, but YouTube user TheGadgetBuff has managed to capture it and has since reuploaded a slightly choppy version of it. Check it out above for more details.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
