BeoWorld Presents... Serenata!

59 replies

Lee thanks for the replies to our questions!

Someone asked what Samsung PC Studio was like, well I sue it with my current Samsung Mobile, and it is very simple to use, for copying from your phone to your PC and back.

My local dealer here in Bath has just emailed me to say that they are have been told it will be for sale in November πŸ™ So looks like Lee is a very lucky chap to have one now!😎

I have now attached a screen shot of the Samsung PC Studio software!

You are not able to playback music when connected to the PC and therefore not use it as an external speaker for other devices.

Oh, and here's why i didn't get the bits in my Serenata pack!  The Car Holder is optional extra accessory which will be available at launch, but wasn't available in time for the press samples. The Car Holder will have the same connection possibilities (same multiplug) as the desk-top charger.

The audio cable was missing on all samples as they were not ready to distribute, but this will be standard in the basic package of Serenata at launch.. Someone else will have to review that when they get theirs!

Chrisreunion:

I have one big request for Lee: would it be possible to copy the user guide from the CD ROM that came with the Serenata and put it on line? The official website's user guide is just a "getting started" intro, and it is not as detailed as the one on the CD ROM..

That would be great !

Hi Chris.

I'm sure it might fall into Peters CD Drive when he gets it an accidentally find it's way into the Manuals Section for Gold and Silver members to have a peek at!

Great and detailed review Lee.  Before reading the thread I couldn’t really see the point to it, but your review has changed my mind.

 

 I have used a blackberry for some years and it would be nice to have a personnel device, I travel a bit see it replacing the job of my BS2  and nice to have some music in the hotel room.

 

Loved your description of the bag

Great review Lee, bet you enjoyed doing it too. Have to say I really do like it. Cannot see me getting one though. My phones take quite a bit of abuse at work. So cheaper is better for me.

Oh Gawd!!! Reading these posts on the Serenata and seeing the B & O website about it, the Beovirus has kicked in and I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!!!!  I was just thinking about getting a new iPod as the current one I have mainly stays in the glove box of my Lexus wired into the stereo system of the car, and I wanted an extra one as a portable. Then along comes the Serenata.  Can any dyed-in-the-wool B & O fanatic possibly resist such a beautiful piece of equipment?  I am off  to London at the beginning of December and toyed with the idea of getting one there. However, after the few problems I had with buying the Serene there and getting it working satisfactorily here in Australia I figured I may wait. Then, on coming home from work today, there is an invite from my Melbourne dealer for a social evening at the end of October where "New Products will be unveiled"  Note the plural.  I hope onet will be the Serenata andt I will be a sitting duck and the money will be in the till!!! As an aside, I have just returned from a specialist consultation where I have just been told that I do not have cancer so the mindset has changed from DIE, DIE, DIE, to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!!!  Seriously, it takes an event like that to put things in perspective.  If you can afford it (whatever "it" is), then DO IT!!!
Well said!!! πŸ€’
