I like the Blutooth / phone features, the speed limit info, and the display - and it works with my old direct wire / smartcord. I'll be pissed in a year or so when they shrink the size in half - and will immediately upgrade it.
On the Escort radar forum thread where this is being tracked and discussed, it's been reported that their ordering system had a snafu that caused a lot of new orders to be fulfilled before the preorders made in early October, some of which are still not filled since they then ran out of units in their first incoming shipment. I guess you were one of those fortunate ones!

It is certainly a bit larger than some alternatives but if you mount it up as high as possible its not really in the way. Since I had the Max, I have noticed times when the speed limit info was outdated for quite a while after a real-world change occurred... just FYI. Be sure to plug it into your computer every few months and apply updates when they become available.

I take my statement back. It is a total waste of money. Arrows are not as quick as a Valentine one. This has inferior range than the V1. I have a V1 but one to try Escort but it was a disappointment. I just got Uniden LDR950 which is 1/3 of the price and performs better. V1 is still king though!
