Data transfer, battery, summary
We can make no phone calls since there is no GSM module, but thanks to the 802.11b/g WiFi module we can use the web – there will probably be no problems with finding networks, thanks to the software. There is Bluetooth too, version number 2.0 and it supports the stereo profile too. Unfortunately I can’t write anything about the multimedia features, there is no camera on the handset; I had no headset with it, but after installing some third party apps the PDA becomes capable of listening to music and playing back videos too.
The battery’s capacity is 1200 mAh, which isn’t too much for such a handset. We can buy a 2600 mAh one optionally, which increases uptime a lot. I couldn’t find any official information about the uptime and I didn’t use the handset for a long time so I can’t tell you much about this.
Summary: The price of Socket Mobile SoMo 650 at the moment of writing this review is about €795 WUE, so it costs as much as a Symbol MC50, and it’s more special than that only because of its antibacterial coating. The average user will probably be no fan of it, but it might be perfect for industrial use, although it’s not cheap at all with the barcode reader. If it would have GPS then geocaching fans might also like it, but this way we just have another industrial handset that is no good for average users. I liked it anyway.
