Samsung Nexus Prime NFC phone confirmed by Samsung in cease and desist legal letter

Well, if there was any doubt left out there that the Samsung Nexus Prime, Google Android pure experience NFC phone, existed that appear to have all but melted. Rumors surrounding the existence of the Samsung Nexus Prime have been circulating for months now and with the expected launch of the next rendition of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, the likelihood of a new Google phone is high. Many rumors are just that, myths that in a Chinese whisper fashion roam from tech blog to tech blog and become bigger as they go. Even mainstream media gets involved with the speculation of mobile devices including well respected newspapers. It is up to the savvy reader to discern  fact from fiction and to always treat information with a pinch of salt until multiple sources begin to backup the original rumor. Whether that be in the form of photographs of phones, phone parts or confirmation of component orders that manufacturers have received, spotting a rumor that has some backbone isn’t hard. Do you know what is better than all of the previous list in confirming a rumor? When the OEM accidentally outs itself as has happened with the Samsung Nexus Prime NFC phone.

Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules variant heading to T-Mobile US and Telus

Breaking news this morning is that the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules variant has been snapped and is definitely heading to T-Mobile. PocketNow and TMONews separately snagged images of the device that’s said to beat them all. It has also been confirmed that the Samsung Hercules is indeed a Samsung Galaxy S II variant. As it stands, we’ll not see any LTE for this beast and we’ll have to make do with HSPA+ and 42Mbps which isn’t too shabby at all. As you will see from the back shot in the images, the phone clearly states it’s a GSII variant.

Update on Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules specifications

Okay, for us here at NFC Rumors the concerning news is a lack of news. Not in any report that is surfacing this morning is there any mention of NFC. The rumors from back in May suggested the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules would be an NFC phone and now that little detail appears to have dropped off the map. Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules could always still ship with NFC but we will just have to wait and keep our ears to the ground for more details as and when they emerge.

NFC Rumors definitive list of NFC phones globally by manufacturer and mobile network

NFC phones the definitive list is a strong statement, huh? It is, you are right; however, we have listed every single mobile network operator in every country, including yours wherever you are. We have added all announced and rumored NFC phones, which was no easy undertaking. We have put together what we feel is the most comprehensive list on the web for NFC phones, the carriers who support them and the specs, articles and pricing that accompanies these sought after modern day gadgets. What we want from this list is for the community to help us keep it right up to date to act as a resource for everybody who is thinking about getting an NFC phone. 10% of the world’s population rely on money being sent home from family working in foreign countries, more paper is wasted on receipts than can be imagined and for that reason alone, we feel NFC phones should be supported and encouraged globally. However, we know people want to make their decisions based on informed opinions and we aim for our NFC phones list to provide the necessary information they need.

NFC phones list is a work in progress

Our list of NFC phones is a project that will never be complete. We have further plans to help people navigate and make great decisions based on posts and articles and our community’s comments on NFC phones, mobile network operators and the like.
