It was common belief that Shaking will bruise the Gin in the martini. The taste is very similar, but most would have stirred the drink. To have one shaken, it would have had to have been requested that way.

Most bartenders in modern clubs and bars couldn't care less one way or the other how you ask for your martini. But I've heard of some mixologists who will refuse to shake a martini, even if the customer asks for it that way.

Well, when stirred, a martini will be cooled faster, but will also cause the flavor to be weakened, as opposed to the shaken method, resulting an a warmer martini, but a more flavorful one. That's from memory, so I may have it backwards, but that's what I recall. Bond obviously likes 'em flavorful.
