Thread: Comparison to Centrafuse?

Why spend money when 4-6 months down the road a new version will be 'in the making' then you have a problem and your left with your d**k in your hands, pockets empty, and at the mercy of the upgrade price because your so used to that front end?

Unless the support shows improvement in EITHER of these front ends I hope for nothing other than these FE's to die off

SD Has always been like that. Slow with development as far as third party is concerned. CF and RR on the other hand are always posting new things. CF support hasn't slowed down that much, its just no one is really asking for major help since they are all waiting for the CF3 release, and FLUX has ironed most of the bugs out of CF2. I haven't bothered with CF2 since CF3 started its testing. Not that there is anything wrong with CF2. Flux did fix the major issue (phone), before finally announcing that CF3 was replacing CF2. You make it sound as though the upgrade price is going to make you go bankrupt. Its only like 49.99. If you currently have the Destinator maps, then the upgrade is 49.99, you simply copy the maps from CF2 into CF3.

Have you ever personally dealt with CF support? I don't think you have. Otherwise you wouldn't have the mind set you have. I am Flux's best but worst customer, and everyone knows how I get when something goes wrong. Every single time though, FLUX has been there to help, even if its an issue caused by me. Mind you they did decide to do a street deck move and stop all support for a short time, but once people voiced their anger, Flux picked up on the support.

PS: nothing wrong with having your d#*k in your hands, next time do a back and forth motion and I guarantee it will be fun.

PS 2: There is a slight chance that Flux my go with Geolife's Navmii for navigation. Geolife has expressed great interest in working with Flux and setting up a licensing arrangement, which none of the other companies would do (thats why cr@pinator is still there). Flux has stated they do not want to start negotiations until they get CF3 out, so maybe by CF 3.1 or 3.2, we will see a new Nav engine.
