The new HTC P6500 is aimed at the enterprise workforce. Spotting a Gap in the market HTC are trying to plug the GAP between Rugged and non-Rugged hardware. Symbol have already brought out the MC35 which does not look as rugged as the HTC P6500 but is also aimed at being that extra bit more protected than your average PDA. Neither these devices have any kind of drop rating or IP rating, so buyers beware. The draw backs to these devices are that they can cost twice as much as your average PDA but still do not have the warranties or the service centres to back up the hardware. I doubt if the screen on the HTC P6500 can be replaced if it breaks, is it still a throwaway item, it’s a lot of money to throw away starting at £500. For companies wanting to get into mobility it may seem a more cost effective option but think about the environment you will be using it in, if it’s wet and muddy this device will not be able to cope and comes with no guarantees that it will.
My advice is to evaluate the device in real conditions before rolling it out to your workforce. It’s better to buy 5 and find the device does not work than to buy 50. Get real user feedback and make an informed decision.
