Every
20 seconds in the UK, someone is issued with a speeding ticket. If,
more often than not, it feels like you, the new Origin b2 may represent
a sound investment...
The unit itself is about the size of a pager and without any wires
will look at home on most car dashboards.
- Stuff Magazine. November 2003
The Origin b2 is the newest device on test and we were expecting great
things from it.
We weren't disappointed...
It's display is clear and easy to navigate and gives audible and visual
warnings. What's particularly impressive is its ability to fine tune
the unit to do exactly what you want it to do...
Once installed, it's a very neat unit and won't look out of place
on your dashboard.
Once all's done and dusted we'd go for the Origin for its informative
display and ease of use once it's installed.
