Optional NFC ?

---

Today I met samsung representative in CPW, who told me that there's no NFC option for galaxy note but it may differ in other countries.

That would alright if it wasn't for engadget article, which clearly states that there's NFC controller inside (NFC controller: NXP PN544).

Does anyone have an idea if it would be possible to use NFC technology if the controller is already inside the device(assuming we'll get ICS)?

I have seen on engadget too.. I think gnote has nfc support maybe with updating ics

That engadget found nfc informations in the firmware does not mean the chip actually is inside the device. Could be available just in another regio...

Engadget just reported what Supercurio mentioned. May be the phone Supercurio got is not UK version. (donno which country he is from)

Supercurio does not have the phone.
Currently there is only one version of phone in the market. European version

If the Note does have an NFC chip, wouldn't it be listed in the spec sheet of the user manual? Can someone verify this?

Forget it guys, the EU note don't have nfc, its is only for the korean market, same as LTE

Yep, samsung stripping nfc from another device because " the market in europe isn't ready for nfc". I'm pretty sure the market would grow considerably if you started putting NFC on your devices since most people will go for a 20 month + contract...

No NFC here either even for the prototypes on display (which didn't have the S-Pen even though its listed on the spec sheet.
