In a world where NFC is just starting to become useful, its notable absence on Nokia's Windows Phones has been increasingly, well,

Thegadgetbuff managed to grab a dodgy rip of it, which you'll see after the break. It contains an interview with Andrea Bacioccola, whose job title ("Lead program manager, NFC") pretty much says it all -- even before he gets to mentioning stuff like
