    Blackberry Messenger 5 feature

    Have you guys seen the "barcode" scanning in BBM5? I guess this technology is big in Japan but I've never seen it before. The attached picture is of a poster outside a movie theater. Scan it and it will take you to a "secret" website.

    Yes, BBM5 is a big upgrade from the last version and I think the possibilities with the barcode scanning are vast. Also much easier to add contacts that way, instead of trying to help them find their pin.

    Re: Blackberry Messenger 5 feature

    Sounds interesting...but I have a few questions.

    Does BBM5 come with a new OS upgrade? Or is it a separate upgrade?

    Also, do you have to get it from your wireless carrier? Or do you get it directly from RIM?

    I upgraded mine through the App World, and you must have an OS of 4.5 or higher.

    I've had BB5 for a few months now. Was lucky enough to get it from crackberry.com before they took it down. I still haven't figured the bar code thing out completely yet. When I go to do it, do you have to click anything or should it automatically do something? So far, I've gotten nothing with this picture.

    You have to do it through the "add a contact" part of your BBM, not sure if you are or aren't doing that but it asked me if I wanted to follow the link when I took the picture.

    Mine has an option under BlackBerry Groups that says "Scan a Group Barcode". I select that and the camera comes on. I point at the code and the "follow link" thing comes up when it has completed the scan. I didn't have to do anything else.

    Yep. For the second time now, my phone has frozen while viewing the picture. I'm thinking this isn't worth wasting anymore time on, is it?

    I had to use the camera button just like I am taking a picture to bring it into focus, then it scans.
