Nokia Icon is ISIS comaptible!

[Indistinguishable]

Sorry to burst everyone's bubbles... but the ICON is NOT Isis compatible.

Kinda a useless feature anyway, imo.

It has some benefits. It's just like the VZW + WP conundrum. Not enough support from businesses = not enough interest from customers = businesses feel it's not important.

any proof?

any proof?

The Icon spec sheet says it's not isis compatible

where is this official spec sheet? the screenshot and the WPCentral article says otherwise

He works for Verizon, he's got the spec sheet right in front of him.

well we just need actual proof, like a screenshot. Him just saying that he is an employee isn't proof enough.

It might not be compatible because there is no app yet

It's enough proof for me. He doesn't have to jeopardize his job if he doesn't want to. Hang on a few more days for the official announcement.

Once there is a WP app, any phone with NFC and a SE SIM should be ISIS compatible, including my 928. I'm waaaaiting...

Once the app is available I will try to get the SE sim for my 822 too. I think it is a cool feature.

get it now, that way you should be ready on day one!

it's free, check online via instructions from earlier in the thread,

 

[camaroz1985]

I tried that and didn't see that option. I will have to try again or (gasp) go into the store and see if I can get someone who knows what they are doing to help me.

 

[TechyMexican]

has any review mentioned if it will have it? I have yet to see it confirmed on any review

 

[fonefan]

Can someone explain this ISIS thing to me? I've only heard of it until recently.

Edit: NVM...I just looked it up.

Well, it is official. ISIS is not yet available for the Icon

(By the way: I love your avatar, PSIU_Glen)

When I purchased my Icon at the Santa Monica, Ca store the rep checked and stated the ISIS app would be released with 2 weeks and yes the Icon is Isis compatible. He was very knowledgeable about the Windows Phone OS and liked it a lot. He knew how to use it. He never ask if I was sure THIS is the phone I wanted. Great experience. I saw both the white and black and in person preferred the black. Well less hope he was right and the Isis app is in the store within a few weeks.

Need more reps like that in the stores honestly. Get this platform out there and not steering people away. Something must have come up that delayed ISIS launching with the phone, but it was listed as ISIS capable so I hope it's really soon.

I just spoke to Verizon CS. They told me a new SIM for my Icon was not needed. They said everything is handled on their end to enable the service. Attached is a screen shot of my current features and services. It now shows ISIS. I am not convinced that a special a NFC SE SIM is not needed. I hope an app is also in the works.

Just to revive an old thread since I'm sure people want to know. Verizon can't make up it's mind whether or not the Icon is ISIS / Softcard compatible. We all know the hardware is there, but for whatever reason, VZW and MS have not gotten their crap together.

At present, if you try to do an NFC payment, whether generic or Softcard, the phone will make the NFC noise, but it won't do anything. This is even if you use a card that is technically NFC compatible.

Two years since WP8 with NFC payments were announced...
