Default Gps?

I, for one, am looking forward to the new model. The x50 was the best out there (cue the Valentine fanboys).

It must use some kind of GPS receiver to determine location. Any indication about price?

I saw a GPS button on it in the pics. I'm assuming it has it.

According to Radar Roy -

The 9500i should become available for resale in March of 2007 with the retail price of $449.95.

According to Radar Roy -

Interfaces with Escort ZR3

For those of us that need that extra laser jamming protection, you will be pleased to know that the 9500i also can interface with their ZR3 laser jammer, thus providing high end radar detection and laser jamming capabilities.

I can't help but feel this is more of a gadget I want to play with than use. It has so much functions, you wouldn't know what to do with it.

I'll probably wait til the next generation when they fix and hardware related bugs (since any software/firmware can be fixed via USB download) and maybe shrink the unit a bit since the gps receiver and board is using a great amount of space.

Especially if it had all the redlight and speed cameras marked, and maybe even common speed traps marked.

Like the Garmin 660 and 680 with a radar detector added? In Europe there are services which provide updated locations of speed and red light cameras.

"Known speed traps" are just that - known! I don't think I could be so busy eat, reading the paper, talking on the cell phone, arguing with the kids in the back seat to forget about a known speed trap.

I'm a little worried about a test that hides stuff. I tend to like the research Radar Roy does.
