At the end of April, they will start shipping the new X50 out.
"Up to 50% better range on all the important K and Ka bands than the original 8500"
It even can come with optional blue display. I am now stuck with my 8500 and I want the new one. Price (blue display) $339.95.



P.S.

Please dont turn this into V1 vs. 8500

sweet, i like the blue one more than red
everyone with a 8500 sell now before they are worth $50

 

I like the blue too. Guess they had to change something cosmetic so they can get us to upgrade. I have the 8500 and never got a ticket with it. I drive like 50 miles/day and speed on every mile of it. I think I will wait to upgrade when they come out with something even more cutting edge.

 

Hilarious. The red is $40 cheaper.

 

yes, more gadgets will come into play.....and someday it will match the price of the V1.
