HTC One and NFC

[Sweed73]

Hi everyone, can anyone confirm that the UK version has NFC ? And any help with apps and where to purchase tags if it does ?
Thanks again

Yip, looks like all UK versions I have seen have NFC. I bought some off amazon and they work well with my girlfriends One X+ so should be fine on the One (waiting on mine).

Anyway, these are the tags I got.

Yes it definitely does. I just checked mine.

NFC Tags, Products and Marketing - NFCDirect.co.uk are supposed to be good. Not tried them personally though.

Was thinking of using them to solve my previous problem of activating Bluetooth and car mode when in my van. But starting to think of other things like one next to the bed to turn off wifi and switch to vibrate etc at night. Must be all sorts of uses ? Anyone else using them and what for ?

I may sound stupid.. but what do NFC tags do?

This is a good video that explains it well.

Wow i thought NFC could just be used for mobile wallet purposes but that is pretty sweet!
