I had the chance to play with the MC35 a while ago and I'm seriously thinking of getting one to replace my HP6940.

The quality of the QVGA screen is great ( a huge improvement over the low res square screen on the HP) and the keyboard is also easier to use (for me anyway). Compared to the 69xx series, the MC35 is a little taller but not as wide. The thickness seemed to be about the same.

We were also told that the list price is about $700.00. Of course, being Symbol there will be extra cost for cables, cradle, power supply, etc.

If I get one it will be a camera free version - there is a part number for it in the Motorola system so it should be available.

This is the first Symbol device to not have a proper barcode scanner - you use the camera to take a snapshot of a barcode and it has some software to do the decoding. From my attempts this is a waste of time, get an MC50 or (better) MC70 for serious use.
