i haven't seen that at Circuit city or bestbuy...

the one's i usually see are the Cobra 8 ba yun...
which has the 360 degree scanning nga...

Bel Vector 990....

I got it on sale for $250.... bale naging $270 because of the $20 cost of the 4-year warranty (sulit because I was able to exchange the whole unit last month for a new one dahil lang sa mga squeeks pag nalulubak). Usual cost is $300 w/o warranty (I suggest to opt for an extended warranty). Hindi ko kasi gusto yung Valentine One.... pulos gimmickry yung mga comparong nagpanalo sa Valentine One sa mga car mags dahil yung gumastos sa surveys at tests Valentine One den (I would suggest to read the radar tests conducted by MT or C/D). In fairness naman sa Valentine One, talaga namang top of the line den ang qualities nya (ought to be to justify the price). I have used Valentine One before and I must admit na isa sya sa mga powerful radar detectors out there today. Ibinalik ko lang kasi sensitive sya masyado (maingay, hehehe), hindi ko alam kung gaano pa kalayo yung police radar sa akin (although you can tell by the sound - mas malakas mas malapit - minsan kasi hinihinaan ko lang sya since my stereo is on so I prefer to know it visually) and also, masyado syang malaki and medyo nai-ilang ako sa kanya (since may mga area akong hindi makita kapag nakalagay sya sa dash). It's a matter of personal preference na lang siguro.....
