    Default Went to Escort today

    I had to return my RX-65 so i talked to someone there about the X50 and possibly a new detector, and i did find out they are apparently working on something big for their next detector(just the way this person talked about it)...... The person i was talking to he couldn go to far into it cuz of the confidentailty about it, but they are working on something new, so that leads me to believe sometime in '07(just making a guess following the timeline of the 7500S-'97, 8500-'00, and the X50-'04) it will come out.....also they said the difference between the REV's is that if the write the original revision and say six months after another company is selling a part they use for the detector is cheaper through that company they would order it and use it, so they would have to write a new revision, so it has nothing to do with performance so they say. They also told me to only read on speed zones tests because they are done by real cops.

    So it sounds good from the Escort chain of detectors :!:

    i don't care if people reply to my post you guys can hold it ok. Just a thought for the think tank from the Zombie king :shock:

    Lets face it bell/escort will put out a steath remote unit at some stage. Just nobody goes there as 10,000 RX75 must be sold before they let that cat out of the bag.

    Actually, I hope Escort waits until the '07 Spectre comes out, then modifies their new unit to beat it a month later. That's going to put SMS out of business just like it did to VG2. Rumors there are some small leaks from the Beltronics STi are still dubious, but SMS is apparently claiming they can pick off the STi with their new unit coming next spring.

    I'm skeptical. SMS has apparently had to push back the launch date to the new unit, and it surely has been expensive for them to solve the STi puzzle. After that, how many units will they sell? They'll have to sell many to make money and their market just isn't that large.

    It would be a real coup if Escort could trump SMS next spring. Like STi, the Escort would become the "only" RD to buy.

    :?: Huh? Since when did the STi become the "only" RD to buy?
