Hi all,
i went to a B&O store and get a look at the serene mobile. Before i give you my conclusion i have to say that i work for over 10 years as a user interface designer. From my perspective the UI of the serene is well done. All screen i have seen on the phone show that the interaction concept was well developed. The horizonal screen space allows for better reading and it really charms the eyes. The execution speed of the phone is also good. The only waiting time i experienced is if you activate the camara, then it takes up to 3 seconds until you can take the first shot. The material of the serene is plastic, but a special one. It really feels expensive. The weight of the phone is exactly what i would call "on par", not heavy, and not too lightweight. The wheel operates like a charm. The sound quality is good, compared to my current Nokia E60 equal good. But the serene is from 2005, my E60 from 2008. The best thing on the serene is of course its look&feel and the motor operated opening mechanism. This phone is for people who want to have something unique in their hands. The price from B&O is about 1000€ in Germany. But if you look at other B&O items this really is close to a bargain. The serene is surely a fashion phone, maybe more for ladies than for the boys. So... i will buy my wife one, and maybe she occasionally let me use it, if i am lucky. B&O and Samsung, well done piece of work, also from the UI part. And yes, it really was made for phone calls and not for Mp3, RingTones maniacs, YouTube, Videos, etc. etc. If you like to sit near a fireplace with a glass of wine thinking about your life and what might be in the future, this phone is maybe for you.
Beside, B&O also developed a new phone, the serenata. Well, i like the serene more.
My advice if you want to buy a serene: Go to your next B&O store and try out the serene by yourself.

I'm in Australia and just bought the Serene amongst all the iPhone 3G hype. I own an iPod and a MacBook Pro so even though the iPhone is cool I don't need it. The Serene is definitely a designer phone. It's not intentioned to compete with the current range of cheap plastic phones on the market so while some people may question it's price tag compared to it's features the best I can say is it is like choosing to buy your jeans from K-Mart or D&G, they're still jeans but quality, craftsmanship and style is the difference between the two. The round dial is a breeze to use for both navigating the menu and sending text messages. It takes a little getting use to, but within a day I had it down pat. Sound quality is amazing! I have never used a mobile phone that is so crystal clear and with great reception (but then it is Bang & Olufsen). Bluetooth set up was no issue with my Mac pairing within seconds and setting up SMS and MMS was a breeze because the Serene already has it within it's software for each mobile network, all I had to do was select which one I am using in the settings menu and click activate. The Serene is light weight and compact so carrying it around in my pocket or in my hand is a pleasure. The casing has a velvety smooth finish that is truly unique and is scratch proof as is the tempered glass screen. The Serene is a phone that states "I am successful and refuse to blend in with the crowd". Owning one is a pleasure. You get what you pay for and I certainly did with my Serene.

I've had this handset in my hands. It's so impressive...
Not VGA camera, it's 3.2 MP camera.
This cell is so different at what we're used to see...

Lets be frank shall we. This phone is not for those who care about texting with or taking photos with their phone. This is an charming phone and does just what it was made to do..function as a mobile phone, and look chic. There is no need for those "teenage ammenities" when the point is to say, "I'm successful!" It stands out in a crowd as tasteful, elegant and posh. The functionality of it in itself is brilliant and for those few individuals who wish NOT to hear "back that thang up" in a crowded subway, this is your phone. At roughly $1300 one can certainly feel good at turning up their nose when placing a call.

This phone is not meant to be for "the masses" it's rare and exclusive. It's not the most fully loaded phone iv'e ever owned but by god is it the coolest. the camera not bad but awkward to use. If you can afford this phone you will probably have a 10meg+ SLR camera, a 60gig ipod and a nice car (BMW)+ and a fit bird. Seriously guys, a daewoo matiz has elec windows, aircon, airbags, abs and even sat nav..... the E-class Jaguar doesn't. Which would you choose though??? I rest my case. Thank you. I'm now off to the Opera in my BMW.

B&o are best known for there design AND quality! I just bought the Serene .. i llllllllllove it , the automatic opening thing is so cool. If ur lookin for functions such as mp3, hi res camera, 3g and LAN , u got the wrong idea buying this device, B&o was aming for design and simplicity with this device.
If ur thinking like me.. "sick of ur ugly candy bar , rarely use the mp3 and camera on ur device" then it's time for change! no1 does it better ..B&o

i think d battery talk (straight)time should be able 2 go beyond the three & half hours considering the amount it cost. i think B&O just wanna be different 4 nothing.B&O is known 4 design more than quality.Let's stop fooling people.
