Me and Google usually are friends, but I absolutely can´t find the link.

 

If someone would PM it to me I would be more than happy🙂

Come on! it cant be so difficult to post the link her Gift

If it was on a Spanish site about B&O try searching for other links to a Spanish site that has been referred to several times and you might get lucky

as for me? I will wait to see the real thing 👍

Why the obsession with trying to find pictures before they are released?  The launch is less than a week away.

As stated above, if the pictures end up on line then they will end up on endgadged, gizmodo etc.  No doubt they will be accompanied by all sorts of ill informed comments which will do the product no favours at all, and untimately will not benefit the brand that people posting on here surely love?

B&O have gone to lengths to keep things under wraps, and to arrange a proper launch which will release the product to the media in the best light possible, and allow all the proper information to be released at once.

Surely a group of adults who are fans of the brand can sit tight for a few days?

Well said rednik. This same thing happens each and every time a new product launch is coming up, and I never can understand what gets people so upset... did you secretly open the christmas presents already in November when you were kids?

I call it showing an interest, being curious. No i'm not going to be at the launch in Denmark and I don't care if the lighting is good.

I want to see the design and then i will decide whether it's for me or not.

As a Marketing & Brand Manager of the UK's most successful radio stations, we have always played our music weeks often months ahead of everyone else. Does that dilute the music when it gets released? Hardly! Cars often get shown in the magazines months before release so come on guys, stop knocking us for being cutting edge and full of life!!!

Unfortuntely they have also given their dealers pictures who are now leaking like colanders. I have seen some pictures and it is a fairly elegant dock, but the lack of ML means it is a non starter for me.

If the amateur shambles that was the Beovision 10 launch is anything to go by, if i was B&O i wouldn't worry too much :-/

Fair point, but do you really think the 2 compare?

If consumers hear a music track before it's officially released they can form an opinion based on what they hear.  There's not really much more to it, they will either like it or won't, and hopefully you will build interest before launch.

With a product like this, a leaked photo won't do the product any favours at all.  People need to touch it, hear it, be aware of all the tech specs to form a valid opinion.  The danger is that a leaked photo hits the web, people jump to conclusions without all the info, and the damage is done not only to this product but to the brand.

However, you are a "marketing and brand manager" and I'm just an IT guy who loves B&O, and thinks that any product that relies on sound quality, experience etc etc will not get a fair first impression from a crappy phone pic on the internet.

Have you ever thought that this could be done on purpose?

It's an old trick to see the reaction of the people and make certain marketing and volume estimation.

Same happens with cars and the so called spy photos.

From my experience, when a company wants to keep a secret, trust me they will do it until the end.

I'm quite sure they are having alot of benefits this way.
