The smartphones are compatible with AT&T's GSM and GPRS networks. Certified AT&T and Opticon solution partners include Telenav, Corrigo, Salesforce.com, and Sybase iAnywhere. Opticon smartphones offer superior scanning abilities with a competitive price point, making them stand out over any other product. The H19 was recently recognized by AT&T as the Best </em><em>New Network Compatible Device at the CTIA Wireless Tradeshow.</em>"</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/spt/auto/1219018734.usr251.jpg" border="0" alt="Opticon H19 and H16" /></p><p>While I wouldn't expect to see these in the hands of your local Wal-Mart employees, businesses who need to combine a barcode scanner with a ruggedized smartphone can check out these offerings from <a href="http://www.opticonmobility.com/" target="_blank">Opticon</a>. The <a href="http://www.opticonmobility.com/products/h19a" target="_blank">Opticon H19</a> uses Windows Mobile 6.0, and offers communication through WiFi (802.11b/g), quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and Bluetooth. The H19 also includes integrated GPS capability (SiRF Star III) and a 512MB ROM. The <a href="http://www.opticonmobility.com/products/h16a" target="_blank">Opticon H16</a> uses Windows Mobile 5.0 and also includes the same communications options of quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WiFi and Bluetooth and as seen above, features a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, but lacks the GPS capability. Either phone offers either a laser barcode scanner, or 2D CMOS imager.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
