decision, decision, decision...:o
Yes, I agreed V1 that the ability to show you the direction. I really want to test them both.
It seems to me that the new X50 has improved the range up to 50% more.
Plus the Blue LED really catches my eyes too...

Mmm...
Thanks for the offer to rominl. If you don't mind, I would do that.
I know most people said V1 is much much much better than 8500.
but.... me....
Doesn't the 8500 one also detect the rear too?? Or only the V1??

Thanks again for that offer. I will let you know once I got both.
I just ordered the passport 8500 X50 this morning, total cost $360 included 2nd day by Air shipping.
Hopefully, I could get it before this weedend.

In fact, large parts of VA, like Southern CA, are so congested that it is difficult to speed in the first place.

There is a lot of false signals even if you disable the K band, everysingle time i drove by a grocerie store or anything with the automatic door opener my V1 would go off, it got soo anoying, and sometimes i would drive by police officers cleary sitting on the side of the road waiting for speeders or cops just going with the flow of traffic on the freeway and the V1 would NOT notify me. its pretty lame because the cop has to actually have his radar on or his laser on for any of these radar detectors to work. I will never buy another radar detector until someone designs one that will notify me when there is a black and white patrol car/bike around me and they do not need to have any equipment on.
