Suggestion for Nokia Beta Labs

Profile picture Contributor of the month Bug buster Innovator alsiladka Thu, 2009-01-08 20:10

Please provide Barcodes on all the download pages

This has often been requested. I don't think i need to explain the reasons or the why this needs to be implemented. Please support this feature. It is the betalabs which should set a precedent by making use of the feature. Hoping to see it on the new site.

Good idea

I believe this could be fairly easy to implement somehow. I also agree that this could be pretty handy in certain cases. We'll see what we can do! Thanks!

Download barcodes

Yes, you can generate the barcodes online via the Mobile codes site. Let me know if you need any details.

One of its best uses is what

One of its best uses is what i created this topic for! Simply point the camera to the code, and your phone will open the application's webpage from where you can download the app in a jiffy. No more typing the long URLs for the pages!

Excellent Idea

Love this idea. Wouldn't have to keep pointing my phone at Nokia Beta Labs each time I find an update or new app via my PC.

How plausible would an sms to phone option be on the website aswell for people without barcode readers on their phone.

Both of these

Both of these ideas are now on our roadmap. I cannot promise anything about when such features could be in place. Will take months rather than weeks. So don't hold your breath just yet :)

Hey Illka, this shouldn't

Hey Illka, this shouldn't require that much? We have probably 2 or 3 releases per month. Even if someone has to make the barcode manually from Nokia's site and put up the image, it can surely be done!

We can have an automated feature later one, but just one image manually put up for the download page?

Alright. I put up an ugly

Alright. I put up an ugly link to a barcode image (did not want to embed the barcode image as it is not used by so many. an ugly link will do for now. Later on I'll come up with a more elegant solution). And I'll try to remember to include the barcode link on new betas as well until we get this automatic. Check out Nokia Magnifier for example. Is the download page a good place for it?

Thanks Illka. An extra mouse

Thanks Illka.
An extra mouse click is anyday preffered to typying out the entire link on the phone or downloading the setup file and transferring it to the phone.

The barcode has been missing

The barcode has been missing out from all the new betas :(
If not the barcodes, then can we have a very basic mobile site with just the download links?

Sorry about that

I'd totally forgotten about the barcodes until yesterday. I'll add a link to the newest ones right away.
