I went ahead and bought it for usage in my horseless carriage. I do not recal lreading any posts of someone else buying it. After I've used it a few times I'll post some reviews/results.
It comes with a nice carrying case that doubles as the clip to attach to your visor, and a travel charger (same one the v710 comes with).

Does the Bluetooh Speakerphone work with the phone closed? Maybe that's why they crippled the phone to not work when closed unless using the Bluetooth speakerphone or wired speakephone.

I've seen a few posts about the Motorola Bluetooth Speaker
What is the use for this if the phone itself has a pretty decent speakerphone?
Is this think that much better, or more functional?

Maybe so you can use their phone with it closed?
Does anyone HAVE the Bluetooth speakerphone? And if so, can you use it with the phone closed?
Perhaps that is why Verizon PURPOSELY crippled the v710's speakerphone so it does not work then closed unlike Motorola's V400, and V600 phones.
Someone who has the Bluetooth speakerphone please shed some light on this. Thanks.

I got the wired speaker phone that fits in a cup holder (the old one that works on the other moto phones). It works great and charges while your on the speaker phone. And yes you can have your phone closed while useing it.

Its interesting that the phone doesn't disconnect a call when using the wired speakerphone. Would have to guess that the same holds true for the Bluetooth. Damn Verizon crippling it to "force" customers to buy the Bluetooth Speakerphone if they want to use it with the phone closed. I wish I was a programmer so I can crack the code, and do as I please with it. Maybe I can get the phone uncoded or whatever which might have that feature enabled. Oh well...

It works fine with the flip closed. The only problem is when you leave your car you have to have the phone re sink every time. For me it is a a real pain, cause I am in and out all day.

The speaker, which includes a microphone, is basically a handsfree extention of the phone, but as a speakerphone rather than a headset. YOu can mount it on the visor, put it around a lanyard hanging from your neck, or on your desk.
With the phone open OR closed, to use it if I wan...

As for the lanyard use. Lets say I was doing some housework, yardwork or whatever and didn't want to carry the phone (obviously closed in this case). As long as I stay 33 feet from the phone and use the speaker, I could make any calls or take any calls using the speaker. I could leave the phone in the kitchen and be outside pruning the rose bushes.
Of course I meant "stay WITHIN 33 feet of the phone".

But isnt that the point of a cell phone in the first place? To take it with you when you prune your rose bushes??
