We’ve have our Dolphin 9900 for more than a week now and it tests out fine with all our products. So far I must say it is a great replacement for the 9500. The 9900 is pretty much the same size and shape as the 9500 and actually uses the same communication and recharging cradle as the 9500. The screen on the 9900 is a little smaller but the text appears much sharper. The keys have a flat finish that makes them easier to read in bright light.
The devices come with Office Mobile which included Word, Excel, OneNote and Powerpoint, so you can use the scanner for more than just ToolHound. The Messaging software can be used for sending and receiving your email. You can also synchronize your mail, calendar and contacts with your PC.
The new wireless setup software works like a charm and allowed us to easily connect to our wireless network with and without encryption. Once connected we were able to access the internet using the Internet Explorer included on the device. With the GSM option, you can even use the 9900 as a cell phone or access the internet without a wireless network. Bluetooth comes standard with all units and can be used with wireless headsets and printers.
I think the biggest improvements that will be of benefit to ToolHound users will be the zipper processor that will make the application run noticeably faster and the increase in standard memory that allows larger organization to use batch mode with significantly more employees and inventory items than the 9500.
If you are looking for a new scanner for your crib give our sales department a call at 800-387-8665 and order one of these fantastic Dolphin 9900s.
