According to the reviews I've read. It looks the same but it has been
upgraded to some degree.
here's another link with a review but it does not  mention as to when
the phone is coming out.

Exactly: it's BT implementation is restricted to the headset only and it
is very good except for the ringer not working when the BT radio is
active- an annoying and potentially deal-breaking flaw - take off the
headset and there is no audio call indication possible.  I've set up a
shortcut for enabling/disabling the BT radio that takes care of this but
it is a step that should not be required.  ...and, BTW, the incredibly
deficient Moto/Verizon user manual makes no mention of how to manage the
BT system save for getting the handset/headset association working, so
the user must do the hardware research on how to turn the headset off
and make the ringer work.  IMO, the headset is the only reason for the
v710 over any other Verizon phone, but its BT management and
documentation is incredibly deficient.
