"Yes. That's why you need a store and forward function. That way you can still get the data from the card while it's present, and batch it out later when you do have a connection. That's the single biggest flaw with the smartphone…"

"Thank you for the response Jim. That's what it seems like with the smart phones from talking to people they love it when it works.
Now with a wireless unit does it not have the same reception problems as a cell phone?"

Newbie Here: Smart Phone compared to wireless swipe machine
I am new to this and have been researching both. I have been going back and forth about them. I plan to use quick books to help keep things organized so the phone is great for that since it can import right to it. But I have talked to artist and they have had problems. They both work on the same system so if one does not get it then I would think a swipe unit would not either. I do like the store and forward of the nurit 8020. Any pros and cons would help. Thanks guys!!!! See More

Hi just a little intro. I have been on here for some time reading and learning everything I can. It has been great. My plan is to do maybe a couple of indoor shows this fall but we are having our second little one then. I have been an art teacher for about 9 years now. After many years of wanting to do art festivals and show my work. Some things have happened that made me think of my priorities in life one of them being: The birth of my now 2 year old little girl and the other unexpected…See More
