Stealthy and unnoticeable. We all know to be unnoticeable is the name of scouting game. If you are using Socketcom in hand scan card with a slim PDA phone, then what you hold is no difference than a regular cell phone. You can configure the scan card to have absolutely no sound when it does the scan, so nobody will figure out what you are doing and compete with you at the same spot in the future.
No, absolutely not as expensive as you think. It all depends on what type of PDA phone you are getting and what type of scanner you are looking for. The cheapest one can be only $250 combined assuming you buy a open box Treo 650 from Cingular and a used SDIO scan card from ebay. Scan card is very tough, so even you buy a used one as far as you buy from a reliable seller. The performance should be the same as a new one. Besides you can choose your favorite carrier for your local area, not stick with one carrier and also the best data plan you can get. We think the initial $100 to $200 overhead compared with a regular phone is well justified. Besides by using our scouting service and repricing tool for $5 a month will offset those initial cost a little bit
