If the chip in the N9 does support SWP, what is unsure now, we know it can be added later. Some intuition says the N9 uses the same NFC chip as the C7... That should open a world of possibilities.

Edit: I read at many places thee N9 uses the NXP PN544 Controller Chip. Well, this are the official specs. It reads, yes, NFC Payments. Could someone work out this somewhat better?
That story says nothing about retrospectively adding a secure-element to the C7?
It may still be possible to add one via the various means I mentioned, no idea if it's feasible (technically) though.

I can't find the discussion now, but it was confirmed that the chip used by the N9 doesn't have the necessary secure-element.
But if you can identify the exact NFC chipset used, & can can confirm it does indeed support secure-element/SWP.
Well... I'll have your baby....
