Miss my V1

[T_Factor]

Long story short... My V1 was stolen about 4-5 weeks ago. I picked up an Escort 9500ix which I just returned yesterday - under the 30-day money back guarantee. Great little RD, but, the raw performance and arrows are freaking huge to me - advantage V1.

So, here I am not protected which I can live with as I don't get to crazy.

My question... I have read where V1 might have something newer in the next several months. Hear say??? Dunno.

If you were starting for square 1 again would you pick up a V1 now or just wait out till spring and see if something new is coming around the corner. I know I can upgrade too, but, again, just wanted to throw this out there and get your thoughts.

Thx.

Man... that's horrible about the V1... RDs are like candy to trash...

I have messed with both and love both... (My review at the top of the V1 thread)

However, I think you have a crazy obsession for arrows!

I have heard an internal rumor of 7-12 months... Who knows the true validity- I have already had to tell people to believe what they want to believe.
So at this point do the same!

I love the V1 and the 9500ix... Both are roughly within 5-10 seconds from each other.

Good Luck! I personally, if you like the V1 from previous ownership and know of all of the notifications then buy another now and faithfully/hopefully upgrade by the end of the year or early 09.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.

I have had a few Escorts and a Whistler in the past... BUT, those damn arrows have me hooked. So, you're spot on about that.

So what did you hear about the new V1?

I think he said in another thread that he heard from someone reputable that something was comming out in 6 months to a year but doesn't know the specifics. Hopefully it's something sweet. I know what I'm looking for in my perfect detector, and I've already stated it in two other threads so I won't open the can of worms in this thread, but I will say two things, more programming, more options.

Thanks RTT... He is correct... I know nothing else-

It may not even be some huge break through (Body Replacement) just a significant update & tweak.

Time will tell hopefully- Since I have decided to go this route
