I have an 808, Visa Paywave says it supports it and yet there is nothing built in to the phone and no visa apps I can find........

I don't get it....

why would you pay good money for excerements?

If you insist though, I think you are trying to read the credeit card from your phone? asfar as I know that's not how it works, your phone acts as a card (the payment method) and google wallet is thatties it back to a real credit card or othersource of funds.

I think Symbian is the best, much prefer it to IOS and Android, well Belle FP2 is which they launched late in 2012 just before announcing they were ditching Symbian. It's like it took you this long to get Symbian right, you finally did and now you ditch it? Nokia have amazing first party software, it just lacks app support obviously.

It has NFC support and Visa have it on their supported list, yet there is no functionality for it. Like looking into it, NFC is so fucking shit, it's over complicated, there is no standardized app and barely any device supports the software. I was Googling it drunk all last night and struggled to find anything on payments with mobiles. It was always news saying Samsung saying their latest phone will support it natively and it never does.

No wonder why Apple decided not to put it in the iPhone 5.

I use my NFC-enabled phone to make payments wherever and whenever possible. About half of my charges are through NFC payments.

All thanks to Google Wallet. Also, Google Wallet assigns a MasterCard number behind whatever credit card you use, which is nice because my real credit card number is protected.

I would like to know how to use NFC, too. Are there some generic guides somewhere? (say, between NFC-enabled devices)

Edit: Yay, I just tried NFC for the first time between my N4 and N7. Nothing special, I have to say.
