    The X50 Blacks and STi Magnum are simply refreshes of our X50 and STi Driver models with performance boosts. The same for the SoloS3, new OLED display and a performance boost. These marketed performance boosts have been realized by several forum members of ours and on other forums.

    If I could build my own Mr. Potato Head detector out of old parts and market it as new I'd put a condensor lens on the RX65, slap a gps board on top, plug in an OLED display and paint it camo and call it........The RX65 with GPS and OLED painted in Camo with a condensor lens![replacer_img]

    RedLine is doing very well, delivering extreme detection range and stealth to detector detectors. A recent example, it was a 2011 Labor Day pick on Gizmodo.

    The 2011 labor day pick on Gizmodo! That's a coveted title for sure. How did it do in their response time testing?

    The 3 year old 9500ix continues to be our bestseller. Eliminating false alerts still appears to be the primary concern for most detector users. Defender subscriptions are also high so camera alerts are also an important feature.

    Hmmm.......that is surprising. I must be out of touch, my guess would have been that the primary concern for most detector users was getting tickets.[replacer_img]

    We are looking forward to an exciting 2011 holiday season!
    Me too! Hopefully there is something we haven't seen yet coming down the pike.

    Best Buy is our number one customer with a huge increase in sales of our detectors this year. Amazon is our second biggest customer. Neither are Walmart but they are still making a large dent into freeing the world of excessive RF pollution.

    They are important enough for Panasonic to exclusively mention them on their Viero HDTV ads. I know that I frequent the site although mainly to see what prototype iPhone they got their hands on this year.

    You would think so but you would be incorrect. The number one complaint about radar detectors in general is false alerts. I think it was on Family Feud once. It's a good thing we have both issues covered [replacer_img]

    Perfect summary (despite grammatical issues).


    Escort is a company that only cares about 1 thing: Money. Not creating the ultimate detector.

    Not that there is anything wrong with that... for now.
    If Escort isn't the company creating "the ultimate detector," who is? It's surely not Valentine Research, if that is what you're implying. That may not be what you're implying, but I don't know of another company that would be known for doing such a thing.

    Escort has excelled and attempted much more than any other detector company out there through the years; I don't see how one could deny that one. While not all of their features are necessarily great, they are the company at least attempting new things in this market.
    Wow, you just noobed yourself responding to my comment like that, you obviously have NO CLUE the angle I'm coming at this from over the past 5+yrs on the forum.

    Dammit! I missed that one too!

    I'm not trying to attack you; I'm just trying to figure out where you are coming from, really. I guess a snobby response is as far as I will get, lol?
