THE NEXT RADAR DETECTOR FROM ESCORT

[Mots]

Ill try no to be an ass hole
but to all those V1 lovers out their how dose that black box look on your dash?
No saying a V1 is a p.o.s. but.....
Now this talk about Bel, and Escort as one company accually bothers me because i have seen Bel's product and used it and i hatted it... So the question is out their who baught who

So the question is out their who baught who

Bel bought Escort..
They should build a V1 type line that is truly upgradeable this would kick butt.
But they see increased support costs as a problem with this business model.
But if you have good QA and Support model it could work fantastically.
V1 has already shown that this model can work. Only if it is a niche market.
They easily could have done this with the RX line of detectors.
So if they didn’t with the RX line they never will.

Actually Escort bought Bel.

Now enough zombieism, let's get back on topic. this isn't a V1 vs Escort vs Bel thread, it's about the next product for Escort.

i had a dream the other night that i had an X50 with shifting capablities built right into the detector.... Ahhh What a Dream,
But i dought that could ever happen
It would be nice to see the new escort stuff and me working for a company that sell escort im pumped

V1 will be my next purchase when my x50 dies.

And when you buy a brand new V1 that doesnt work? Whats the next purchase... trust me it happens.

Buy a returned one and you will be fine. :wink:

[Rottman]

I don't care. I am sick of having to BUY a new escort to "upgrade" everytime they come out with a new one.

V1 will be my next purchase when my x50 dies.

Smart man 8)

Bel and Escort are now one company, so I think of the STi as the "new Escort." I'm sure Belscort will release a Passport 9500 with Spectre-immunity and Ku-band detection eventually...once they figure out how to do both in one detector.

Think he is 100% correct.

I also am one of the X50 owners planning to migrate to V1 unless escort gets their **** together with "upgradability" (ha).

I do hope that Valentine comes out with a leak-proof unit, though.

i have been useing my X50 for some time, less then a year is upgrade ablity that big of a deal to get done
is it worth it to upgrade

V1 will be my next purchase when my x50 dies.

You just got the lucky one on a million htat was a fluke---Trust me it happens
