Electronic boarding pass on Nokia N97
 
With more and more airlines offering electronic boarding passes, I would like to make use of the feature. I have a Nokia N97, but the built-in browser doesn't seem to be able to save web pages. You can bookmark them, but not save them.
So how are you supposed to use an N97 with electronic boarding passes?

I don't quite get the question. You can't "save" web pages on an iPhone either, at least not with the built-in Safari on my iPhone 3G w/iOS 4.0. But you don't need to save the pages at all: the airlines whose electronic bps I've used send you an e-mail containing a hyperlink when you've checked in online. When ready to board, you open the hyperlink to reveal a web page containing the barcode.

I've started using this more and more recently. Sure it saves two pieces of paper -- and that's great, but it also seems to work pretty well in keeping me from carrying one more thing, or losing one more thing, or most importantly having to have access to a printer to go straight to security. And now that most of the airports that I visit in the US have this capability for Delta (my airline of choice) it streamlines my process.

I can check in from the cab, or from the office. I will have an SMS or email sent to me and then pull up the ticket on the browser as I am walking toward TSA (who have these scanners available).

Philadelphia seems to be the only problem now. When I come up to the podium I get a "sigh.. let me go find the scanner and see if the batteries are charged". So I usually have my tickets printed for the PHL leg of my journey. LAS, SJC, SFO, MSP, SLC, ATL, DTW and my other haunts are all no problem.

with united (and i'm guessing other airlines), you can reload the web page with the boarding pass image on it as many times as you want, so you don't have to worry about saving it or losing the page.
