Hi everyone
Since Verizon blocked Google wallet is there any other good nfc wallet apps?
Thanks
Verizon isn't blocking Google Wallet. You can freely download it from the market. However, it doesn't work on any carrier branded GN2 without tweaking. And even then it's hit or miss.
maybe that is true (but it did not use to be, Verizon had it totally blocked) but they are preventing it from being used without Root and modifications. Your splitting hairs with your statement.
so unless that secure element requirement is met, what is Verizon doing? Blocking Wallet from working on phones on their network.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners lose Google Wallet access (update)
Verizon has decided to block its customers from installing Google's new, high-profile Wallet application on the carrier's smartphones.----CNN
Verizon's Galaxy Nexus is expected to launch in the coming weeks without Google Wallet, at the carrier's request.
The phone, which was developed by Samsung in partnership with Google, will debut with the Web giant's mobile payments system disabled by Verizon's choice, a Google spokesman told CNET, confirming a story first reported by Computerworld.
"Verizon asked us not to include this functionality in the product," a Google representative told CNET.---Cnet
How many more examples of it do you want?
Isis uses a secure sim card that's why the other carriers don't support it. They want to be gatekeepers to this, and they do it via the simple card. Wallet sidesteps this, so they don't support it.

Same here...I don't see any other practical use for the NFC besides being a payment method.guys appreciate the research, but way off topic...all that matters is that google wallet, as downloaded from the play store, will not work on my verizon gn2
hoping to find any other app that will simply let me tap and pay using the nfc built into the phone
