Unhappy Reading Barcodes From Blackberry Screens

Please Login to Remove!

I had a frustrating situation when taking a flight a few weeks back. The airline gave me the option to check in using a PDA, so a square barcode was sent to the phone in lieu of a printed boarding pass from a kiosk. When I went up to security, they went to scan me in. It didn't work. I though it was because I had a protective case with a plastic cover over my screen (Body Glove for the 8330). I removed the case and had them try it again - no good. The guy said he ALWAYS has trouble scanning from Blackberry's. The iPhone apparently works best. So, I was wondering if other 8330's have the same issue. Maybe a screen like the Tour or Bold would work better as it has a higher resolution than the 8330?

Having said that, I wonder how well an application such as the link below would work?
