i was in best buy today looking at car alarms when i saw some guy looking at the x50, his went into "service required", and was gonna buy another...go figure. anyways i was tlaking to him and he asked if the Valentine really showed the direction of the radar source and i said yes and showed him my unit with the arrows, when all the sudden, the best buy sales men said "no, the valentine shows the direction YOU are going, not the radar source..its only a compass"! i was shocked! i cleared up everything with the customer and said no, it really does show where the radar is coming from after showing him my unit. The best buy guy looked pissed and walked off. are they mis-informed or just on commission with escort to sell as many units as they can however they can?

same goes for any department...goto the tv section..or audio section...these guys get paid dirt and are usually kids..you really think they know about the products??

yes, i know it happens all the time, but i think it sucks that the people who are HEAD of a department, know jack about what they're selling...the consumers get screwed with false information.

Uh, they could be both! :shock:

That story is both disturbing and hilarious. But, you can't have great prices AND great service. Americans clearly want low prices (Walmart), and then are surprised when they get crap for customer service. With the V1, you pay a premium price, but you get a premium product with excellent customer service.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. 8)

dude, you need to do some serious research first. the arrows DO show you in which direction you are going. how can you not know that?
