Nate sent me a note with some updates:
"Can be ordered now from a US dealer for $50:
http://www.radio-mart.net/Baofeng-UV-82-Dual-Band-Handheld-Transceiver.html
It also states that this radio is "Pending FCC approval" (which they probably will get, like they did with the Baofeng UV-5R variety).
Also, checked the pictures here:

Looks like you can unscrew the bolt that holds the Mic/Ear rubber cover, and bolt in an accessory plug, like you do with commercial rigs, which might suggest better build quality.Martyn posted his video of the UV-82 (see below) on the UV-5R Yahoo Group.
The two top LEDs on top might suggest dual RX at the same time, but you can't really tell. the display in the brochure isn't very encouraging (Only a single "S-Meter")."
