Should I upgrade to the latest handheld product?
Answer: If it ain't broke don't fix it. Although Zebra/Symbol releases a new device every few years there is rarely a reason to upgrade. Sure processing speed increases and the display resolution is often improved but not to a point where the naked eye will truly see an improvement.
New or Adapting Environment:
"Choosing the CORRECT device for your needs"
Warehouse Environment:
MC9090-G: The MC9090 offers the most bang for your buck and the least total cost to own. It has recently reached a price point of under $500/unit but still boasts many of the features that newly release $2000+ devices offer.
Huge Benefits:
Alternative options to the MC9090:
More current: MC9190
Benefits: Faster processor/ New display/ New operating system
Negatives: Higher price (~$1000/unit)/higher cost to repair (incidentals can reach as high as the cost of purchasing a new device)/ Fluctuating demand and availability drives prices up.
Slightly less recent: MC9060
Benefits: Prices are continuing to decrease (~$280/unit)/ offers many of the same benefits as the MC9090/ Very rugged/ Low cost to repair
Negatives: Does NOT support WPA or WPA2 security, must be run on WEP
Retail Environment:
MC3090-G: The MC3090 is designed to be rugged enough to stand up to everyday use and mild abuse but also sleek enough to be deployed into a retail environment. This device was designed with retailers in mind.
Huge Benefits:
Alternative options to the MC3090:
More current: MC3190
Benefits: Faster processor/ New display/ New operating system
Negatives: Higher price (~$1200/unit)/higher cost to repair (incidentals can reach as high as the cost of purchasing a new device)/ Fluctuating demand and availability drives prices up.
Less current options do not apply due to the MC3090 pioneering this type of retail specific handheld.
Courier/Service Distribution by Vehicle Environment:
Intermec CN50 or Symbol MC65: Both devices are extremely similar and were specifically designed for Courier operations. Choosing between devices is strictly a matter of preference but once a choice is made the competing devices should not be mixed into the environment. Doing so would greatly increase costs as the MC65 chargers and accessories do not work with the CN50 and vice versa.
Benefits: High quality devices designed with courier services in mind/ Cellular capabilities/ Repair costs are relatively low
Alternative options to the CN50 or MC65:
More current: CN51
Benefits: Faster processor/newer operating system
Negatives: Higher price/ higher cost to repair/ less access to repair parts and additional refurbished devices
Less Current: CN3
Benefits: Lower initial cost/large quantities will always be available
Negatives: Old operating system/ bulky exterior/ poor screen resolution

Huge Benefits:
- WPA, WPA2 wifi security capabilities: A very up to date wifi security that will continue to be relevant for decades to come.
