So, according to this article http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/15/nokia-june-18th-pureview-808/, a lot of people are speculating on the announcement for the Nokia PureView 808, but, there is something else... the US Code of the Lumia 900 is also RM-808 and since all other countries with the Lumia 900 are already shipping with the Tango Update, I'm thinking the US version is due to get the update next Monday 18. Another curious detail is that according to the 'Hint' on the Facebook page from Nokia showing a Map of Hawaii, the location of the 2nd destination is 'Lumiaina Street'. So since there are 2 destinations on the map, it could be that they are announcing 2 things, one of them been the Tango Update for the Lumia RM-808.
what you guys think?

I think Verizon may be getting its Lumia 900 on this date too..
But anyway, Tango is really a minor update with sms/mms improvement, lower memory footprint for apps , tethering.
The BIG annoucement is likely the Microsoft Tablet, but yes it could possibly be more phone models with latest OS.

I absolutely agree.
Also, if you look at the photos in the Nokia US facebook page, there is one picture which was posted on the same day as these other pictures, which shows that texting pictures on the Lumia 900 and that is a feature of Tango.
So, I think Tango should show up tomorrow.

As far as I know, there aren't any "specs" on NFC-chips.
It uses the BCM20793 http://www.broadcom.com/products/NFC/NFC-Solutions/BCM2079x-Family
This is somewhat worrying/interesting - pretty much every other NFC-enabled Android phone uses NXP's chips. What if this guarantees that network SIM-based payments won't be compatible?

Broadcom nfc chips support multiple Secure Elements in one device. (competition for ISIS and Google?)
Devices with a broadcom nfc chip probably can't read/write Mifare Classic tags. Other (mifare) nfc tags wil be no problem.
Yeah, since they didn't use an NXP chip, the Nexus 4 (and Nexus 10) will not read/write Mifare Classic 1K NFC Tags (because technically they don't adhere to the NFC Forum specifications). The bummer on that is the next best option is the NTAG 203 which has about 1/5 the memory but cost more. The good news is the memory is enough for most task launching NFC apps to do most things you'd want. The bad news is it's often not enough to create a Vcard. The other next best option are the Topaz 512byte chips, but they are significantly more expensive.
I just found this out the hard way when one of my customers contacted me about his Mifare 1K tags that weren't working with his Nexus 4. I'm having new tags manufactured in the NTAG format but the Mifare 1K are still best for most people since there's no such thing as too much memory if the cost is the same or less.

Desfires are also an option for more space (1k, 2k, 4k) they are just not as widely available currently.
Hello, MIFARE 1K is work on my Nexus 4, read/write, use NFC Tack Launcher.
Does anyone know if they can read / write basic ISO 14443 A and B Cards / Tags?

You can't actually write to the NFC, but the task launcher remembers the tag and assigns a function to it
I want to write a tag, that can be read by both the galaxy s3 and the nexus 4 to check in on Facebook. Can I write one with the n4, and is the n203 capable enough? Seems a little low memory for a check in data string.

Does anyone know what NFC standards the BCM20793 in the Nexus 4 supports? Broadcom doesn't actually post the datasheets for their products online.

I think the Broadcom chip is NFC Forum type 1-4 compliant, which means it's able to use all NFC tag types Topaz, Mifare Ultralight C, Mifare S50 and the UPM Ntag. What it is NOT compatible with are the Mifare Classic NFC tags.
The NXP PN65 chip which is on most devices OTHER than Nexus 4 and 10 is able to use 1 additional NFC type which is Mifare Classic. Mifare Classic is actually the thing that's NOT NFC Forum compliant.
The new Samsung S4 also ships with a Broadcom chip so it's likely it's also not compatible with Mifare Classic tags.

I'm about to buy this watch from Amazon. They have both a US and International version. I have no clue what the difference is. Any recommendations?

I bought the US version and have used it in countries outside US (India, Middle East) without problems. So I am not sure if it matters
Warranty differences. Nothing else.
What about wall chager plug? Does US version come with US type or standart EU type wall charger?
Best,
US version has US plug ( of course.....)
But who cares about that... adapters are $1....
Okay that adapter works
How about watch faces. For example should I use most common moto 360 luxury brand faces like R. Submariner, O.Semaster, T.Heuer etc.
Do these faces also compatible with Huawei watch?
If you guys who have these faces with Huawei would share some images, I will be glad.
Best,
Hello guys...
This is Huawei answer in Amazon:-
"Hello Stephen Munroe, I'd love to answer your question! Certain software updates on the U.S. and international versions of the Huawei Watch are different. For example, the Huawei Watch, featured in China, doesn't have the software update for the speaker that the U.S. Huawei Watch version has. Also, the U.S. watch comes with a 1 year U.S. manufacturers warranty while the international watch does not. (ED)"
Any experience with using the US-version in Europe?

Good question, I've just ordered the US version, I can't see why it wouldn't work here in Europe/UK though ?
I heard the US version is not IP67 certified and may not be as water resistant as the International version? Read that from a review on Amazon.
I'm using Huawei Watch US version in Asia (Pakistan) for a month now. It shouldn't be an issue because the watch doesn't have any network bands which you fear might mess up. I ordered the US version because of that speaker update which, according to Amazon Q&A, didn't land on international version. As for the IP67 certification goes, I didn't expose it to even a drop of water because I don't care if the watch is IP67 or not, speaker definitely isn't and since I'm away from US, I don't have the warranty so I can't risk it.
I was a proud owner of original Moto 360 for a year and half before this. This watch is leaps and bounds better than Moto. You're gonna love it using it and you're gonna love it when people are continuously going to compliment you because this watch is an exquisite piece of technology.

The difference in the Huawei Watch 2 international version & US is this.
Huawei did not release it's stand alone LTE version in the US, the US version lacks a sim card slot & LTE capability, it only runs on Bluetooth & WiFi & NFC.
The international version ha LTE capability, it has a sim card slot & can be used as a stand alone LTE device with it's on phone number so it doesn't need to be connected to a phone, it can run off LTE & WiFi & Bluetooth & NFC.
You're responding with comment about HW 2 to an almost 2 year old post which was about HW 1....??
hello guys,i just wanna ask about the different A50 NFC vs Non NFC,i already have A50 non NFC version and i thinking about to costume or mod my A50 to become a NFC version,is that possible or not? NFC is from the hardware or a software?
thx all
Nfc is a hardware chip so its not possible to make A50 nfc enabled handset
Is that a known fact? Has anybody checked if the nfc hardware is not present in non nfc enabled A50s? Some companies dont enable features in their phones for different licensing issues, but the hardware is still present.
Good Luck With That Move...
It's A Moot Point...
Either Samsung in your Region supports Samsung Pay MST / NFC or they do not.
You can try to flash a different CSC... but I would flash the "Un-Teathered" Firmware version 1st..... then try an Odin Flash of a specific Region's Firmware.
Good Luck With That.. :angel:
If someone figures out how to activate NFC on the non-NFC A50, I would be very grateful and interested.
I bought the A50 in the UAE and never imagined it wouldn't have NFC in the UAE version especially since a lot of websites report the A50 has NFC.
All my phones since 2012 have NFC and I could not have imagined Samsung would not have NFC on a phone like the A50 in all markets.
I guess the first question is whether the non-NFC A50 has the NFC hardware / antenna installed? If it does, then maybe a ROM / region / software solution exists ...
I flashed the Indian CSC rom to see if activates the NFC function in my UAE (non-NFC) A50. It does not.
I suspect the phone does not have the hardware but I cannot confirm this. If anyone has any further ideas for getting NFC working, please share. Thanks.

I think that 505F has diferent hardware than 505FN because 505F is manufatured in India and 505FN is manufactured in S. Korea. So, Im pretty sure that 505F hasnt included Nfc chip on motherboard.
Tearing apart
I teared apart my A505G, and it dosen't have the antenna but there are 2 non soldered contacts. I suspect those are from the NFC, so maybe if I can get the NFC antenna from the European version, it may work. If someone know a repair shop that sells that, please notify me.

I have my heart set on a Note 10+/512GB/Dual Sim with Aura Glow color but it's not available in the US market.
I'm seeing a few international sites selling this exact configuration. Does anyone know if they're legit?
You won't find dual sim models built/sold specifically for the US market, so you might have to source them internationally. GL!

Yes. AFAIK eBay (via never-msrp and a couple other sellers) and Wonda Mobile have both the N975F/DS (Exynos) and the N9750/DS (HK/LA/Brazil Snapdragon) in the exact color and storage config you want. I'm also planning on getting this phone (the Snapdragon Dual Sim version) for use in the US.
the UK 4G version is dual sim direct from samsung, as soon as you go up to 5G it goes single sim. guessing they aren't yet capable of running dual 5G modems or the price is too high.
@sansnil, exactly the variant that you are looking for. It does exist - https://youtu.be/Brhjl8InyN8
