Today, Hormazd and I compared the voice quality of the "fixed" Motorola V710 with the "Stock" or standard Motorola V3 RAZR, over the Bluetooth connection.

The RAZR was better, not by much, but better. I have also experienced that the handset address book on the V710 does not update to the car as quickly.

I am going to continue using the V710 for a while, with the Texas firmware patch, but the regular Motorola Bluetooth profile really sounds like a land line, as compared to a speaker phone, and is clearly a better phone to pair with the Bluetooth connection.

Thanks for your time Hormazd, and it was good to finally meet you on the West Coast.

Today arrived from ebay a new Motorola RAZR V3.

Immediately and easy connected via BT, Address book quickly transferred, mail command immediate available, quality voice very nice: in few words fantastic

Does the BT connection transfer both the SIM and phone memory from the Razr V3 to the car? And does it show SMS messages on the BMW screen?

The SMS problem is with BMW. The Bluetooth does not support it yet as far as I know. Maybe with version 15.2 coming soon.

Just got the RAZR V3 linked with my car yesterday. Very happy with voice quality but a couple of times I noticed some voice echo. Anyone else have the echo and any ideas on how to fix it?

Once you get the correct volume setting it will stick and seems to be independant of the radio volume. When on a call adjust the volume to eliminate the echo. There is a point where in a stationery car the other party will tell you that it sounds like you are on a land line. Also refrain the urge to raise your voice. The softer you speak the better you sound.
