Is there a way to write a full vCard to a NFC tag? All of the apps I've tried off Google Play seem to only write the email address or other subset. I've tried apps such as NFC Task Launcher, NFC TagWriter by NXP and NFC Classic Tag Reader/Writer.

I'd like to write a vCard with one or two urls, a note field, phone number, email, name, and title. And yes, it's under the storage limit for the tag.

Can you just write the contents of the file as text? – Matthew Read♦ Jul 20 '12 at 17:02
I don't know, I was going to try that later. I thought there was a mime type associated with the data so it would be interpreted as a vCard and not just a note. But I will test it. – Eddie Jul 20 '12 at 17:56

It must be user error, because NXP TagWriter and Tagstand Writer both let me select fields from a contact to include now. I did switch to a contact in the phone as opposed to browsing for a vcf file.
