NFC is not BT. From wikipedia:

NFC sets up more quickly than standard Bluetooth, but has a lower transfer rate than*Bluetooth low energy
. With NFC, instead of performing manual configurations to identify devices, the connection between two NFC devices is automatically established quickly: in less than a tenth of a second. The maximum data transfer rate of NFC (424 kbit/s) is slower than that of Bluetooth V2.1 (2.1 Mbit/s). With a maximum working distance of less than 20*cm, NFC has a shorter range, which reduces the likelihood of unwanted interception.*

Nfc - bump - s beam
Over the past year of head scratching and speculation, folks seem to have a better handle on the distinctions. If two S3's or two Note 2's touch in order to xfer an 800mb movie - the xfer completes in just a couple minutes, right? That xfer rate is well beyond nfc AND bluetooth. The long & the short of it is - will the Note ever get a mod to "perform this way". See? I didn't make the mistake of saying the wrong magic word - enabling all the factoid folks to jump in there and say *that's not what it does ..." and then the question never gets answered ... so - to ask the question without mentioning the technology type ... will we i717 fans ever get to bump large files in the manner that newer Samsung devices do.

I know what you mean. When i see the S3 commercial the movie moves instantly from one phone to the other, and continues to play from the same place. It looks good, but its only television, you know.

Do a search. The app is called File Beam.

In order to transfer files using FileBeam, both of the phones must have the app.

Here, let me send you this file. But first, install this app.....

Said nobody, ever.

I'd use CloudSend before I used this app.

That's where i was coming from with my original post. They make it look like a large file/movie can be transferred instantly.... Pretty misleading

Well then, in that case, no.

The only way to send large files like the tv commercial (which is fake -- shocking!) by bumping, is to bump the other person as you pass the sd card to them.

All the "factoids" have been doing was attempting to tell you the truth. You don't get that from reality tv.
