Man look at this batty phone it has no mp3 player, video recorder/player, no games, no 3G and a 640x480 resolution camera. You'd expect Samsung to make a better phone than the previous models. The design is also very crap. I hope Samsung will make better phones than this in the future. I give this phone a 3/10 rating.

This one is a nice phone. Not sure of the idea that the screen has to be in the bottom and can be switch if desired. Camera on phones aren't my thing since they haven't really made one that you can't see the pixelations when shown on computer screen(I've seen k750's photo examples, very very clear and bright but look closely and you still see it). So I'd rather have sony's 5 mega pixel digital cameras. B&O's speakers are awesome so I do hope this would have crisp sounds. Then again it all matters to reception cuz if you can only get one bar you'd still cut in and out or have really low volume. I've seen B&O's home phones and they're usually long and narrow an has really nice features. I think they should've encorporated it here too like the ability to control the tv and sound system with it or something like that. The only thing interesting here is the round keys but that makes the phone very femini than masculine, almost like a compact mirror for women. The cradle is something I do like, it's meant for you to display the phone. I do hope this is only the preliminary design since it's not going to be a best seller I.M.O. Then again B&O products are pretty expensive so even if they do change the design it would still be a pricy phone.

serene vs other phon,
he he he, spec of this phone is a little bit lower than average being posted but the manufacturer of the display and sounds are among the best if not the world's best, so expect amazing screen display and sound quality for this phone. Do not be fooled of the pictures you seen on the net for you can appreciate it once you have it personally if you have the bucks. I think it is not about the spec but i guess it is about its jewels hiding inside the phone.Sorry for who cannot afford, just say bad things about this phone for you cannot own one.

1st...ok this phone got a good reso of 320x240 n 256k colour BUT,dont think of beating the supreme graphics oi panasonic 16 million colours
2nd...vga camera.too cheap.hand phones nowadays are either installed with 1,1.3 or 2 MP camera.only when the company wanna make an economic phone specially for the "not so rich" people then they'll use vga or cif camera to cut the cost
3rd...design is awful.i think even the old classic 8910i of nokia looks far more elegant n more unique than this...dunno what "ART"
4th...1000 euros??this is insane.i wont waste so much money just for something "special"
5th...3 hours talk time??this is bad...real bad...with a poor/weak specification it should be able to handle up to 6 hours.this proves that this phone is using crap lithium ion batteries even if they state 800 mAh
6th...no card slot??what the...
7th...no games...what the...
8th...12 polyphonics??no mp3??what the...nowadays most of the phones are >40 polyphonics even for economic phones like samsung x480
9th...i dunno what else to say...dunno which brainless rich guys gonna buy this phone n show off...but i'll be sure to laugh at them.not respect them :p
it is so obvious that this phone...is...really...a...piece...of...master "ART"...ooopppsss...i mean a thrash...or crap...or...whatever...

You all hate it? Excellent its not meant for you. This is made for those who appreciate the finer things in life, those who dont want to see anyone else with the same phone, those who want something special, those who want something simple. It is a simple and a completely new concept, for that well done B&O.
But... Why work with samsung? Surely Nokia or Motorola would have been a better choice?

Do you really think that this phone deserve the price of 1000€?!?
If that's so, please, open your eyes and wake up!
That phone has really crap features.
-No megapixel camera, but only VGA
-No Symbian OS
-Uncomfortabre keyboard inverted with the display
-No umts
-Plastic made
-The words Samsung and Stylish cannot stay together in the same sentence, even if you write Bang&Olufsen between them.
If you want a stylish phone buy Nokia 7280, Motorazr v3, or Nec L1.
If you want a Status Symbol Phone buy a Vertu model.
If you want an all-in-one handset buy a Nokia N-series model, Sharp 903 or HTC Universal.
Anyway don't waste your money on this phone.
It will never put in evidence your status, but only your lack of intelligence.

I am a big fan of Samsung products, but when I saw Serene, looks like Nokia 7280. Only for the sake of style & fashion, not more. Only people who have more than 2 mobile phones, then buy this one to show off

In contrary to most of you, this phone is great. We have to look from a Scandinavian point of view, I mean this might look strane or even absurd for Americans, but this is very nice. This is something revolutionary. Samsung and B&O have proven to the world that the buttons of a mobile does not have to be below the screen! The screen is simply great. 1.9 inch with 240 x 320 px, which means more than 6500 pixels in 1cm x 1cm.
The camera resolution is quie enough as the concept of the phone is simplicity.

Hey, you guys who said it is bad don't announce anything without thinking deeply. Do you think Samsung can't make great phone which cotain heavy secifications? They have technology. This phone has different concept, and they made this phone by following concept.

You don't understand, this phone is being sold on the principle of design. It will be brought out under the Bang and Olufsen name, and for that reason alone, will sell. It certainly will not be worth the 1000 euros that is being asked, but neither is the nokia 8800 worth the money you have to pay for it, and thats designed by nokia!
Fashion concious people with more money than brain cells will buy it.
