They have to be absolutely still and this really hurts productivity. The best scanners I've used for warehouse applications is LXE and Psion Teklogix.

We've also had more experience with the CK3 since I wrote the post and I pretty much agree with your comments. As you say, the price is attractive, but the CK3 is certainly not as robust as the Moto MC9090 and I think this does cause problems over time. The other problems I have with the device is the lack of a WinCE option (it is a real pain trying to get it to work with apps such as the Oracle GUI ones) and the very small buttons. I also have sold and installed one RFID enabled version, but I really didn't like how RFID is implimented and would not recommend this again. For me, that EX25 scanner is still the one feature that sets the CK3 apart from similar devices. Thanks for the comment Tradewalker.

We have had some problems with battery life, having to replace the batteries every couple of hours over the last few months and at around £90 a pop, they're not that cheap to replace. We've also had a few problems with reliability although the CK3 has been better than the CK31 in this respect. I'd say most of the guns have been repaired once during this time for a variety of problems, but quite often due to scanning mechanism failures.

We're about to pick up two of these the price of one MC9090... it just doesn't make sense. I'm a little worried the speed and preformance of the EX25 will degrade over 3 years, but the cost and preformance outweigh those concerns. In our tests, the EX25 could definately read from at greater distances than the Lorax laser... I'll be curious if that changes over time. And what about the price?!?
