Even side loaded, the merchant's app (I'm using Chase Bank) doesn't work, and the "card swiper" device plugged into the earpiece port is "unrecognizable". ("The Cube" credit card processing doesn't support BlackBerry either, and charges a higher user fee)
I'm off to buy a cheap, used android to use ONLY as a credit card terminal. Any advice which device I should purchase? It'll be through AT&T (I have a family plan with them and can add a phone with no additional charge). I have access to an old I-phone, but I don't want to have to carry around a separate charging chord.
