Personally I would wait for it to be smoothed out a bit more. it seems incomplete right now. Especially since the USB isn't working as far as updating it on escort's site.

Cactus: "Could V1 be considered an update?" Wrong word...I think you mean ULTIMATE. ROFL.
Not meaning this to sound "smart %ss Dep...I see you pre-ordered a 9500i. If the V1 is the "ultimate" then why? Just curious. Did you just want to compare the two yourself?Originally Posted by Deputy
I personally... if I had a choice would go 9500i if these where my only two choices as escort is more stable with sensitivity than any bel product ive seen my sti has been very disappointing lately it is getting sent into beltronics after my v1 comes back. I am just not impressed im lucky to get a mile on ka and half the time on k band even after a factory reset like not 5 min before i got hit im lucky to pick up k band 1 mile out... something ain't right...This is the second bel unit i have had to send into beltronics in less than 6 months sad..first valentine research fails twice in less than six months now beltronics...Escort seemed more stable although i had to send it in once and almost as soon as i got it back it said self cal even though they supposedly calibrated my unit ya i bet bunch of bull#### i bet they did if they did it wouldn't be going into self cal and calibrating it self it wouldn't be that far off! I dunno anymore they all suck in my opinion atleast vr fixed my stuff for free...well not really i had to pay the 12 bucks to ship it back and they never reembursed me for that so i still ended up paying for it. Just disappointed with them all lately anymore belscort you have to watch for the speakers going out i had my vector 940 dad has know i finally got him to get rid of his rmr thank god! Then that x50 blue i used to have one of the speakers went out and i could barely hear it..seems like a recuring issue with belscort products too.

Excellent question and I don't take it as smarta** at all. You will also note that I have every other "top-of-the-line" detector in my collection. I may end up with one for every day of the week at this rateOriginally Posted by Scott
You will also note that I sent the Navalert back. The 9500i will do most of what the Navalert says it does, PLUS be a good detector too (I don't want to go into the reasons for returning the Navalert). And I am curious to see what the USB port is gonna do. If Escort actually DOES use it to allow owners to update their units with the latest fixes, that would be a major step forward in radar detector abilities. And yes...I am a radar detector addict. CactusMan and I are going to arrange meetings where we tell fellow addicts about our addictions and how we avoid the cures :P
I DO believe the V1 is the ultimate IN SENSITIVITY, but not necessarily the ultimate DETECTOR. :wink:
alpinestars: Ya gotta stop playing football with those radar detectors. Go out and buy a Nerf ball instead!!!
