Not what the headline suggests. The device is essentially a way to conduct wireless transactions - wave your phone at the scanner and the sale it deducted (accurately, one hopes) from your account. Fine. But what I wanted is what the headline suggests - a phone I can carry in my back pocket and that will hold by cash and cards. I am forever losing my phone (it is, in fact, currently lost) because there's no convenient way to carry it. Now if my debit card can be built right into my phone-wallet, that's fine too.
