I found I could live with an Android phone instead of another brand we all talk about. Competition is heating up!
You could definately "live with" an Android device. There's a place in the market for Android and Apple phones, and they both suit different people.
Not sure about the competition heating up though? Android handsets outsell Apple devices nearly 2 to 1.

Regarding the fact that Android devices are outselling Apple 2 to 1... That's comparing Apples to oranges.
Android devices are sold by more than 1 brand. We should compare sell-out brand against brand. Not OS against brand.
Now back to B&O :-)
My B&O Icons:
Hopefully this time you can use your own ringtones etc. and the phone is not feature-cut.
And it would be nice if they integrate a notification LED on that device.
Let's see if they produce it... I hope so :)
I agree, it looks very cool.
Let's hope B&O is going to produce it.

Is it usual for a concept to be given a name and supporting marketing material?
Looking at the profile of the phone, you just want to touch it, own it and cherish it (classic B&O); I can't remember seeing a picture of a phone that did that since the Serene.
Most luxury phones are a bit 'bling' for me and I feel as much like holding one as I do a snake (I hope to never hold a snake in my life!).
I would like to see it made.

BUILD. THE. DOCK.
The phone is very nice, but the massive problem in the US with phones dedicated to networks and attempting to get your phone on a network with a contract.......is a nightmare. Also, the phone technology quickly becomes outdated.
On the other hand, the dock looks really great and would look stunning with an iPhone, or if expanded, the iPad2. If you could give the dock some multilink ability it would really be a winner.
Right now I use the Airport Express to connect to the BS9000 or the AppleTV2 to connect to the Avant, but I sure wouldn't mind having a B&O way to connect directly to the system. (and before anyone gets all testy, yes....I do connect the ATV2 to the Avant)
The dock is cool, I like it 🤒
The phone makes me think of B&O's acronym, 'MOTS'... There's really nothing standout
BUILD. THE. DOCK.
Actually, that's a very good point. The dock is the best part of this phone and the dock could be created for the iPhone and other phones, without having to move back in to the mobile phone market again.
Maybe that's the plan and would certainly enable B&O to push ahead with this new category which would be sold in Apple Stores. A superb Beocom 5-esque dock for your iPhone would be very useful indeed. I'd buy it!
Let's be honest here, one of the primary reasons for buying the Beocom 5 was both the speaker and the style. I don't really need a landline. Most people I know use Skype to dial out and a lot of people now use their mobile for incoming calls. If this dock was in my office, I could simply connect the iPhone and it would both charge it and enable me to use it as a speakerphone.
A few more links now detailing the guts of the phone(Samsung Galaxy S2)
When it's the inside of the Samsung Galaxy S2 it will be probably a realy great smartphone!
On the S2 there are only 2 things missing: A dedicated camera button (like on the Xperia ARC and ARC S) and a notification LED.
Any news on when the B&O phone will be released? I hope it is matte black finish and not glossy.
