    The old ones are Mostly very accurate but some are not if they have been bashed around or left in the sun etc. One thing for sure is they are very accurate against themself which is the good thing. The new ones should be 100% consistant against themself and the track. The are not as accurate as the timers on a drag strip but the next best thing

    Well, the Iphone isnt exactly cheap, but if it's jailbroken, Dynolicious is free.

    Ive got one of the older ones, it seems to be pretty accurate. Ive really only been using the 0-100 timer though. As long as you position it correctly and its set up right theyre pretty good.

    when you guys say the older one, is that the small black one that has red coloured numbers that come up on the screen?

    i've been looking at getting one for a while, and now they have these fancy ones with big screens..

    Not unless the e75 has an accelerometer, my e71 doesnt.
    Closest thing i've found is sportstracker (which is an app that comes with the phone) for the Nokia, that work's off the GPS and isnt that accurate...Its ok for jogging/bike riding i guess.

    Anything that works off the GPS is full of failure, it's not fast enough/accurate enough to time a car
