Maybe but I really don't have any info. But we must keep in mind the ZL didn't sell well at all.

Is there an estimated release date for US? Will it be carrier subsidized or are we gonna be forced to drop $700 out of pocket? I can't wait any longer to buy a new device, been waiting nearly 1.5+ years to replace my cracked screen iPhone and if US release is in oct-dec then it'll be nearly 2 years. Ahhhhhhh just release already!

oh, ok thanks for the clarification
, I thought NFC was another type of connection I got confused about it, guess it's kind of like a trigger, never bothered to read about it until now.
I thought it was Bluetooth after NFC?

Also, does anyone know if PS4 or PS4 controller have NFC? There was a video on here a long time ago showing how to link your PS3 controller to your Sony-phone, it would be amazing if you could do it through NFC to a controller to play games on your phone, or use tap your phone to the console and have it link as an additional controller

Yes PS4 does have NFC although I don't think you can use your phone as controller. It's mainly for media transfer alone. T-Mobile may sell Honami, probably at 199$.

What is the advantage of using NFC over the current bluetooth setup?

Unlike Bluetooth, NFC can interact with another device with a single wave of your smartphone. It’s fast and requires little effort on your part. In contrast, Bluetooth connections take time and require many steps to activate. With such a close range between devices required, the potential for signal interference or hackers trying to steal your data is reduced.
Finally, Bluetooth consumes a chunk of your smartphone’s power while NFC typically consumes much less. In cases where your phone is powering another device this isn’t the case, but in other situations you can connect quickly and with minimal power requirements using near field communication.
Best of all, if you really need to establish a constant connection and you don’t want to spend an hour standing nose-to-nose with your coworker, near field communication can connect your smartphones before turning the signal over to another technology, such as Bluetooth, giving you the best of both worlds in terms of speed and distance.

See, though I think WiFi can also be used after NFC initiates the connection.
