Apparently Samsung are using B&O to build a better reputation through Europe with their mobile phones. Samsung is huge in South East Asia and they see it as a foot in the door for Europe. That would explain the double branding, it must be a big sacrifice for designers cause it couldn't be done without them. Don't mind the design but not for me, i'll stick to Serene.

David I agree! I believe the design from the 80 were basicly based on the same design idea from the 70. Lots of years to get used to. Jacob Jensens problem today, from my point of view, is that he continue with the same basic idea, no changes at all.

Well I still like the material used on the Seranata.

Meantime I am willing to see the front panel activated and see if the interface is user-friendly.

Does anyone down there has a picture of the Seranata working ? 

Thanks in advance.

It actually looks like the right shape for scraping the ice of the carwindows in the winter time 😎

Something tells me that B&O is trying to tear itself away from the sleek and pretentious to something more fun and cheerful. This phone definitely bears a resemblance to a kid's toy and yet looks too well crafted for that purpose. Very futurists in a way, everything is constucted ergonomically. Created more for a family guy rather than a bachelor.

Well those of you who know me also know my lack of excitement when it comes to mobile phones.

It's a phone - it enables you to make phone calls and take pictures of drunken celebraties to sell to the newspapers. Why all the ooh aah over something that will very shortly be out of favour with the "must have" merchants??

I just don't get it😕

Chris.
