In London at least, few people use cards any more. People often still call phone payment card payment though - I guess people have mostly figured out it's the same underlying mechanism. Personally, I still carry a card in case my phone runs out of battery, but I keep it in the bottom of my backpack.
If only Android had a way to pay if the phone was out of battery I could dump the cards entirely.
