It will pick up radar from behind, just will not tell you which direction it's coming from. I have the R3 and thought about the 7. Just a lot of $$ for that feature.

Arrows aren't that big of a deal to me. I'll look for a used r3 when one of you guys upgrade.

I went back and looked at the letter that I got giving the release dates and this is the quote:

and baring no customs delays we might have units at the earliest 4/5 or the latest the following week so they are still on schedule at the moment for the 4/5 through 4/15 date we were given earlier.
Still silent as far as shipping notifications. Looks like next week. I was getting all excited hoping to see the shipping confirmation. Letter was from Best Radar Detectors while we were straightening out a payment glitch that cropped up. Sigh...

Who did you order from? I heard Best Buy sold a few before they were supposed to.

Yeah, got it from BB. I think their site now says 'Pre-Order'.

Yep a lot of people are pissed about the whole pre order process. I won’t do it again as it was a bit misleading.

Be sure to post your thoughts on it for those of us waiting another week and a half for ours😄

The R3 and the R7 are not Laser detectors they are radar detectors... I still do not understand why people buy them for laser, they suck for laser.. it was an afterthought and has been known since the R3 came out it sucks...

The Valentine 1 is a rockstar on laser and it will tell you that you have a ticket faster than an R3 or R7 in every situation... So if you want a laser detector get the V1

If you want a rockstar of a Radar detector get the R3 and R7 as they are smoking everything right now...

I completely agree. Love both my R7 and R3. Combined with Waze they are tough to beat.
