How could they!

It took me three months to realize there is no NFC on my damn 9900. I'm so furious, T-mo charges more than any other carrier for this thing and they disable a function I was so excited about... Not that I need it yet, but the ball seems to be starting to roll on apps and partnerships and I'd hate to be missing out when the time comes.

Just knowing that I paid so much for a phone whose features have been disabled makes me mad!

Thanks for letting me vent

"I was so excited about ..."

"took me three months to realize ..."

Must not have been THAT important to you ...

Not much to use it on yet, anyhoo, plus it should be available in a recent OS update.

You are fully right not liking what TMO does.

For your info:
Verizon also originally sold NFC enabled BBs with NFC disabled. They gave up under customer pressure and enabled NFC in a BB OS update from Verizon pages.
Hopefully TMO does the same thing.

If you google "TMobile ISIS" you can find out that TMobile, Verizon and AT&T are part of ISIS and they plan to run NFC trials early next year.

At that point AT&T and TMO will hopefully enable NFC for everyone.
The best thing would be if they enabled it ASAP.

I hope so.
I've read someone installed a leaked OS and got NFC that way, however that doesn't make me feel much better lol.
Also with the way T-mo rolled out (didn't) updates for the 9700, I won't be surprised if the 9900 gets overlooked by that time.

To this date there has been no leaked OS that contains NFC for T-Mobile. The big one we were all hoping had it was 7.1 but it only brought UMA and hotspot.

lol @ 3 month to realize about the NFC
