(OFF TOPIC. This NFC payment stuff should be in the separate discussion thread.)
NFC have one problem working as a electronic wallet.
When you have no battery life left, you have no credit nor cash then. Maybe phones should have smart-card slot, where the actual credit/debit-card's chip is. If your phone is out of power, you can take the chip out and insert it to the credit card machine like before.
Won't work there where they sell stuff without electricity but you still can use credit cards.

(Could some moderator please move these NFC-posts to a new thread?)

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
