Great, now just need to mobile networks to keep up and fully enable NFC through phones so I can use my 920 to pay for stuff.

The readers don't work when you have a NFC card and your oyster card near each other. I can't keep some of my debit/credit cards and the Oyster in the same wallet anymore. And it's just going to get worse when they roll it out to the tubes too. It's a real PITA.

I would like to have them enable NFC bank cards to be recognised on the transport system, saves having to have a separate card just to use public transport. Although I wonder when an Oyster card type system will become common across the entire country, if they can manage it in a large city like London it must be technically possible.

Get shields and then the readers can't read the wrong card...
