I just searched the internet and found that other people also talked about this problem. So the mirror slap does exist for D700. It seems that the D700's LV is really bad: it has no live histogram, it does not work with the DOF preview, and it has mirror slap!
However, I found a way to walk around the slap problem at certain level: turn on the "exposure delay" function, then after pressing the shutter, the picture is taken about 1 sec after the mirror slap.
If I set the release mode to mirror lock up then I cannot enter the LV mode by pressing the Fn button. If I want to use both mirror lock up and LV then I have to switch back and forth between them.

You can't switch to mirror lock up mode during live view? And if not, do you need live view after framing and focussing?
Another bad thing about the Nikon D700 live view implementation is the lack of exposure simulation (the D3/D3x at least do offer this) which shows what the aperture and exposure time settings will mean for the image exposure.
