Anyone knows if there is a difference in size between the 2 batteries?
The AT&T one has the NFC chip built inside, so if it fits into regular I9100, we can use Google Wallet.
If you have the battery size/specs for each model, please post them here.

Don't believe the i9100 has an nfc chip so having an nfc battery won't do much.

Pretty sure it's like the tmobile version and just the antenna is in the battery, not the actual chip.

Hi,
Is there any unlocked SGS2 with NFC available anywhere in the world? If not, is there some way to put a NFC chip in the phone?
That microsd card with NFC wont work in SGS2 itseems, because SGS2 has metallic microsd card slot . Any other alternative?

Google for Korean Samsung Galaxy S II for sale or use ebay.
not able to find any place to buy korean phone, who ship to india .
Anyway, If i now buy a phone withont NFC, can I add it later? Like by buying a battery with NFC?? Will it work?
Anyway, in the korean version the NFC comes with the battery.
What other differences are there in Korean version?
just wondering does my S2 have NFC? I heard only some S2 would have NFC depending on the version. How do I find out if my phone can support NFC? I am from the UK.
Only Korean models have NFC. There was an application to check it but I couldn't find it now.

Wow a reply within 5 mins thanks.
From Wikipedia:
However, it has been reported that the UK version will be supplied without an NFC chip at the beginning of its production run[42]
*but Samsung will launch an NFC-equipped version later in 2011.

If you really want to make sure, buy a Korean SGS II Case and if your phone fits perfectly then it has NFC. If it doesn't then it doesn't have NFC. International version aka everywhere except Korea(maybe Japan) has a thickness of .33mm while Koreans(maybe Japanese) have a thickness of .4mm b/c of the NFC chip.
There are a lot of Korean made cases for Korean SGS II just look on Ebay!

I'm sure you mean .4cm not mm, unless you are bending the rules of space time that is of course, which is frankly 100% possible.
It's 0.33mm ticker. I have both o2 uk version and sk korean version and they are indistinguable..

i9103 will have NFC
i have a i9100 from orange (austria) and it doesnt have a nfc
I can't get to the bottom of this and it's useless to ask sales staff since they haven't heard of NFC. I've done online searches but came up with conflicting information. So...
Does the UK Samsung S2 have NFC or not?
I have a HTC Desire HD, which does not have NFC, so if the S2 does this is a distinct advantage.
DOES...NOT. Only korean and some US ones.

No, nor is there any plan to produce a version containing the NFC functionality in the UK. The S2 still bears many considerable advantages over the HD, but that's another matter entirely.
Maybe try reading up on In2Pay/Paywave if you're that fussed about NFC though...
Just send me your card details. That way you can have 1/2 the NFC experience when a complete stranger rinses your bank account.

Yes
I can confirm that my newly purchased Orange Samsung Galaxy S2 does indeed come with NFC - but I've turned it off in the settings
It would seem the NFC circuits are actually included within the battery...

NFC is built into the hardware of the phone. The battery contains the aerial.
You can flash firmware that was meant for the I9100 international. You will just lose NFC capabilities.
as far as I know the Orange UK SG2 with NFC is the GT-9100P. they have released a new rom version 2.3.6 just last week.
They did indeed release their latest update last week, but it's still gingerbread. I downloaded the ICS LPS build from Samfirmware. It doesn't have NFC, but that doesn't bother me. Will revert when orange deliver ICS, either I9100 or I9100P.

Will NFC actually take off?
Possible with Android Beam.
Me I would not use a mobile for any finance at all.

You probably have an i9100p. Check on the label under your battery. Regular i9100 lacks the nfc chip.
I'm planning on ordering a case for my phone so I have it when it arrives. I've ordered the 32GB version through Verizon and was wondering if there was any difference in between the international version I9300 vs the LTE version I535. The specs seem to line up when comparing the two, but I'm concerned that the buttons may line up in slightly different places.
The case I'm looking at is here:
noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_GT-i9300_Galaxy_S_III_Tradition_leather_case.html
Although it's for the international version, do you think it'll work the the Verizon LTE version?
Thanks for your help!
I'm pretty sure there are not physical differences on the outside
