no.
Jellybean supports NFC, but the device itself doesn't

Try to download Google Wallet from the Play Store:
It will say something like : " this app is not supported by your device"
I think the best that we can hope for is for a smart company or group of ppl to come up with credit card sized device that can connect to your phone via bluetooth and provide a link between NFC and bluetooth.
Im sure someone is working on this. Bluetooth signals can be encrypted too, so I think our best bet is to stop wishing for the impossible, and check out specs, etc for such a device, and then lobby google play, etc to allow Google Wallet to be downloaded onto your device assuming it can support a bluetooth connected seperate NFC device.
Still wouldn't trust it. Google wallet isn't completely secure yet.
Not to mention bluetooth is less secure than WPA. (WPA can be hacked in under 5 minutes)
And you're increasing the range of broadcast by using bluetooth, whereas NFC is a small distance.
Good point PcFish. I was thinking about this too. What would be interesting though is a card that could connect to your phone via bluetooth or a teather, and then function on its own as an NFC device, so that you could turn the bluetooth off but still have some relevant info flashed to the card. That would solve the issue of bluetooth and range.
It should be possible!

Anyone checked for NFC after the JB update?

Why only did they put it into the One X, this makes no sense in marketing when all phones most likely will be going that route?
Plastic housing, One S is metal
Can someone close this before it attracts more people, and we gets more threads
It doesn't matter if a metal or plastic body is being used.
The Sony xperia P has an all aluminium uni-body yet it has NFC.
They probably didn't include it because the X would have one less advantage over the S.
I did it! I got nfc working on my phone!
Too bad it's not my one s. haha
