Today I accidentally found this little hidden feature. Now if this has been found before I’m sorry and I apologise but from what I’ve been seeing there’s nothing about this any where else.
Here’s the back story. If you have a “next gen” blackberry, Bold, Curve 8900, Tour, or Storm, you are able to upgrade top the recently leaked Blackberry Messenger 5.0. I did so earlier today and ill post a link to the download to CrackBerry as well to the 8900 version of the BBM5.0 download(if i can find links to the other downloads i will post them as well.) That being said upgrade at your own risk as this is a Leaked version.
Now to find the hidden feature is simple. If you go to your Blackberry messenger 5.0 contact list, click on the BB button and then go to add a contact. You must then select to scan a friends BARCODE. Once you do this your camera will be activated and you can scan the barcode. This is a great feature alone for its intended use(to add contacts without typing in PIN’s) but from what Ive discovered it has a hidden use. If you can find a barcode(the one above is the only one Ive found so far) that is encoded with a URL, scan that instead of your friends barcode, and it will actually open that url in the browser.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the barcode above will take you to wikipedia, i believe its the entry for “blog” although it doesn’t matter. If you can find more scanable barcode examples e-mail me at dave@b2basiks.com
Simple yet interesting. Let me know what you find.
thanks to infomotions.comwho i got the barcode from(stole BORROWED)
