Does anyone know if the NFC feature still works

Sure does!
I have one on my 9900 and no problems at all.

NFC Tags are kind of cool. You can set your tag in your car and do all of the following automatically:
1. Email wife you are on your way (you can control the time so it won't send it at lunch time)
2. Turn on your favorite Audio (I download the Economist on MP3 and save it. It goes right to it)
3. Turn on Drivesafe.ly and hear any messages if you are waiting for something.

Do you need it? No. Not really. But it is pretty cool.

You can buy tags for about a buck and some of the tags can have logos, other stuff or just blanks.

BTW, I knew nothing about NFC tags but got up and running pretty quick with the help of a member of this forum.

However, if you have a case, you may not be able to make it work. Just like you can't put it on a charging pod. I've seen some nice cases but the limitations of the cases keep me from them.

I've wanted to try this app out for awhile now, I guess there is no better time than now. I'd like to see NFC integrated better by RIM and Third Party developers though. I guess its time for us as a community to push it grass roots style. DLing now. Thanks for the heads up on the price drop Adam.
