    In the same region as the alarm and blue tooth icon I see the funny looking N symbol used with smart tags. What does it mean? Why there

    It means NFC is on. You can turn it off from the settings.

    It's okay ask as much as you want. NFC stands for near field communication. It allows you to share media and information with another devices with making the two devices touch. For example you want to add a new BBM contact, instead of typing the pin, just hold the two phones back to back for a second, and the contacts will be added.

    NFC also can make payments using your credit card info, without the card, so long as the info is inputted into the phone, or I should say app.

    However, there isn't an app available (yet) on the Z10 for this purpose (at least not in the US).

    I am still trying to talk people into going with bb..lol
    I am all alone with this platform but loving it nevertheless. Love my z10.
    Any other good uses for NFC other than obvious sharing of video and pictures?
