does it only applies to a similar phone? If it does, i dont this this is something of a selling point unless the units are sold as much as the SGS 2 or the iphone 4...

thats a tough one, but i gues the specs on the prime can be compared with other android superphones, hopefully google doesnt make the OS limited to only a few android phones.

Correct, it will apply to any Android phone that has an NFC chip inside and runs ICS.

I would imagine any Android with NFC build in will have this capability. So many of the new high end phones at least wuill have it. The makers of Bump have got to be a little nervous.

Nokia already have it you gotta boast something new like some 12MPX camera or some new innovations....

Actually beam was originally a feature on Palm's OS. And since Google hired one of the designers form Web OS he integrated this feature into ICS. So no this was not copied from Nokia.

Yes, Nokia has done this with the N9. Not for say Nokia is the best and whatsoever, but it's for the sake of precision.
PS : can we connect with accessories with beam, like handsets or speakers (as Nokia demonstrated when they shown the N9) ?

Are we going to have problems with good touch/bad touch now? I guess there's not a problem of 2 phones of the same model touching each other?

Too close for comfort, if you ask me - complete violation of my personal space :). I can understand the 'commerce' implications (mobile pay etc) but other applications are frivolous at best (oooooh, I transferred YOU to android market to download MY favorite multiplayer game - how lazy do you have to be?).
