Ah fair enough! I see these phones (the Serene & Serenata) as a fashionable accessory, a reliable device and a pleasure to use and own. Same as a Bang & Olufsen Stereo.

Out of curiosity, do you buy any of the new B&O Puncher? 

The thing is that Serenata if all the information correct, could not be considered as a phone with other function, as it lack a keyboard, it means no dialing for blind people, no dialing in emergency situations, a device like Nokia 7280 is definitely an accessory only, especially from design point of view here design means everything not only form or materials but a product philosophy. Sereneta looks the same it is an mp3 player with a phone function....

 I do consider Serenata as i have to see it in a flesh, but i also need it to work in Japan (read -3G is essential), or i probably will go for

this

The Serene was ok, but i'm not sure of this one...

 put Bang & Olufsen on this phone and it looks much cooler 😁

aglet Puncher😎

I agree though - the design of the Serenata is fine - the problem is it's a phone😁

Now listen up all old farts!
The price of my Serene was £745 just less than a year ago, as it had been spinning round in a glass display case for three months.
Who would spend £745 on a 'phone that does nowt? Not me.
I am on contract and pay £18 a month which includes an all singing all dancing Kikinoko 'phone every eleven months.
The same week I bought my Serene I also went in to collect my upgrade 'phone.  I never even opened the box, just whacked it straight on eBay and got £230 for it! I am going for my next upgrade in a couple of weekjs and will do the same with that.
Assuming I get a similar price, in three years I have a free Serene!
As all new products from B&O have a FOUR year warranty, I can't go wrong.
I almost certainly will get a Serenata in two years time when this Serene has paid for itself.
From another old fart.
