So how is your BT set up. Do you like it, or haven't you had a chance to test it yet with a compatible phone?
If you were on V11x software, then V15 might not be anything to write home about. But coming from V13.3 I am hoping that the start up time and general responsiveness of the system is improved.
Was the radio mute problem resolved. That alone would be worth it for me.

The Bluetooth setup with the V710 is fine now. Every once in a while, on a mobile-to-mobile call there is an awful echo though. Most of the callers say I sound fine.
For V710 (Verizon) users you have 2 choices:
Get the 8700_01.40.OR firmware upgrade. Send the phone to this VZW store, the only one doing the upgrade:
Attn: Cliff Jackson
Verizon Wireless
2403 S Stemmons Fwy# I-10
Lewisville, TX 75067
Call ahead - the phone # is 972-459-7111
OR
More computer savvy folks, try this link:

I was set to send the phone to Texas, but when the car was in for 2 days, I ran out of time before heading West for Christmas and tried the patch myself and it was simple.
Anyone who would like the patch applied, email me through the forum. I must have spent over 100 hours reading all of these phone group posts.
Any post information about the echo problem would be appreciated.
Hormazd: I am still wanting to compare the "fixed V710" with your V3 RAZR. Let me know if you want to do that next week when I am in SoCal.

The I-Drive doesn't have to wait for menus to come up like it used to, let's just say that.
