NFC pairs the Nokia BH-505 Bluetooth headset to your NFC phone, perfect for the Gym

NFC pairs the Nokia BH-505 Bluetooth headset to your NFC phone and joins Nokia’s growing collection of NFC-enabled headsets

Nokia has yet another NFC / Bluetooth headset to add to its growing collection. Earlier this week we brought you the news about the potential sighting of the Nokia 801 NFC phone in a video shown at the IFA trade show in Berlin. In that video we got a couple of glimpses of the Nokia BH-505 NFC pairing Bluetooth headset. The Nokia BH-505 was announced back in May, but we really haven’t seen anything more about it here in the States. It has been available in Europe for some time and is for sale in the United States. Nokia didn’t really market this NFC headset, so for many of you this could be the first time you have heard about them. A few weeks ago Nokia enabled the NFC in the Nokia C7 NFC phone with a Symbian Anna update and now the Nokia BH-505 is becoming useful in a whole new way.

NFC Nokia BH-505 Bluetooth Headset

See a review from MyNokiaBlog below and then we have also included the official Nokia Bh-505 NFC / Bluetooth stereo headset.

The Nokia BH-505 NFC paring stereo headset is aimed squarely at active people. Whether going for a job or working out at the gym, the biggest bane in our lives is the cord that dangles down gets caught up and generally makes things uncomfortable. NFC and Bluetooth helps the Nokia BH-505 remove that issue by not only removing the cord but also by fitting around the back of the head for a no slip fit.
