Guest Atomix86 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 No, nfc in a phone makes no difference to my purchasing decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest k0zmic Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 It might be useful in the future, for now though it's not very useful IMO. I'd just consider it a bonus but not nearly essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sej7278 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 absolutely no interest in NFC in a phone - i don't use it on my debit cards. most of the work in 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 is for NFC, i'd prefer developers concentrated on the kernel/wifi drivers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lew247 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 It will be very handy in possibly a years time or maybe a little more when there are more places supporting it If 2 phones came out that I liked, with similar spec, I;d choose the one With NFC.

Guest sane? Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Put it like this; NFC is much less important than ARM7 and a sensible price.... Frankly I don't trust credit card companies, and I don't want to pay for something that only seems to benefit them. Its probably going to be a net negative in decision making, purely because I see no point in giving those companies a cut of every transaction when cash would do as well and visa gets nothing from it. In fact, I want you to pay me, if you want it on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magnets Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Considering the question is Are you expecting NFC functionality in all future high spec devices? Yes I would expect NFC in a high spec device. It may not be useful now, and even though I would probably never use it much, I would expect it in a high spec device. If NFC was added at the expense of other components (non-HD video, bad camera etc) then I wouldn't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hecatae Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Interested in people's views of NFC... Hi, I've been looking at the Lg Optimus Net, http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3021&view=1&c=lg_p690_optimus_net_lg_gelato same cpu as the skate, but HVGA and has NFC, so the current ARMv6 chipset is capable of NFC, and I dont consider that high spec. LG are releasing two versions of the Net, one with NFC the P690, and one without the P692. If ZTE could release a blade with the skate cpu and NFC I think it would be successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian1 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yes NFC is very important to me, but it has to be said I work with smart cards for access control so I'm not your typical user. And yes it does affect my purchasing decision, I was all set to splash out on a Galaxy S II but didn't because NFC was removed from the UK handsets.

I believe it'll come in the Autumn models of the GS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
