Advantages: Small, long battery life, easy to create software Disadvantages: small memory (250 scanned max)
...If you are looking for an inexpensive barcode scanner with the ability to keep track of just about anyhting with a barcode, then this is the product for you. This item works great in a small buisness environment when value needs to be high for all cash investments.
Symbol provides excellent software packages that can be used to create custom software packages that can interact with just about any Microsoft product and database. it is a bit challenging if you have no idea how to program. Skills in VB would be very helpful but the Symbol website has a huge section for developers.
The unit is easy to use and very light to carry.
The only negative aspect is that is has a small memory. You need to sync the device after scanning 250 items....

Advantages: Extremely User Friendly Disadvantages: The "BEEP" when you confirm a scan
...This Symbol SPT 1550 is the best scanner around in an area flooded with similar products.This device is extremely lightweight compared to its competitors and ease of use is second to none.The scanner itself allows you to read barcode labels with extreme ease some scanners on the market ensure you have to be right next to the barcode for it to register but with the Symbol SPT 1550 it allows you to scan from a distance and scan hard to reach barcodes.The product also has touch screen GUI making it extremely user friendly the further you venture into the menus and sub menus you can never get lost due to the aptly named home icon.In terms of memory for this device i once scanned 1200 items in an initial audit i was doing and it had no problems in terms of slowing up....

Advantages: Fantastic design, sleak finish and packed with features Disadvantages: Quite large and no camera
.... This consists of a standard keyboard complete with a number pad for dialling numbers and some common symbols which are included on the same keys as some of the letters. As with a computer these functions are activated by pressing the shift key. Some symbols occupy there very own key and these are the symbols that are used most frequently, the full stop and the @ symbol for example. Disappointingly there isnt a pound symbol on the keyboard but it is very easy to access a symbol screen with a full list of available symbols where this can be selected from. Typing on the keyboard is surprisingly very comfortable. Bearing in mind that this keyboard is necessarily small I thought it might be awkward to type effectively but this is something that you get used to very quickly.
As I said this phone is crammed with all sorts of additional features including...
