If you value sound quality and having something unique more than anything else go the Serenata, otherwise almost any phone on the market will serve you better.

I think you will be happier if you get the iphone, from a long term point of view. Better texting, dialing, browsing, applications, emailing, almost everything but sound reproduction.

I'm sure there are at least a handful of people that use both.

iPhone, definitely. Some things are just better left up to the professionals. 🤒

Everybody wants an Iphone.

Depends if you want to be everybody..😎

I own a Serenata, recently bought a Porsche Design phone, which costs the same price, and although texting is a real pleasure, the sound performance on all applications (phoning, music player through headphones or built-in speakers) is wayyyyyyyy behind!

Of course if you want your phone to do almost everything and maybe someday act as a mini microwave oven, you should go for the Iphone.

You can always get an Earset 3 and improve its sound performance🤔

If you want a phone that can do anything and everything incredibly well - it's the iPhone. What an utterly amazing bit of kit - i really cannot tell you how impressed i am with it.  I always wanted a Vertu 'just because' - but now i don't even look at other phones - why should i?

If you want to be different, then the Serenata is the one to have.  Certainly the one that everyone would look at if you put it on the table in pub.. but then again they'd have to put their iPhones down first.. LOL

Its such a shame that B&O screwed up so badly with their mobile phones.

Having an 2G iPhone since the first month of release I cannot stand the hype anymore to be honest.

It does have cool applications, it works like promised in many ways, overall a groundbreaking product BUT everyone has it...

I'm really thinking about buying a Serenata just to "think different" and escape all the hype.

They sell new "very cheap" on ebay, so why not give it a try....

I can get a New from the dealer Serentata with the Earset2 for 720$ Think thats goo?

iPhone 3GS of course...

I don' like the argument: so many people have it. Before the iPhone I thought about Vertu, I didn't care about features. But the iPhone looks and feels great, the functionality is fantastic! If Apple would sell as many unit as Serenata the iPhone would be 100 times more expensive than it. It's one of the few products which are not expensive but really great. So I don't care about having a ubiquitous device...

It's amazing to how many segments the iPhone is appealing: kids, tech savvy, business, women, rich...

Wouldn't you buy the BL5 if they were as cheap/expensive as Sony speakers but still as good as it is now?

I totally agree, I use the iPhones features daily, a Serenata or Serene would be a huge disappointment. But if all you do is call and text, then any phone is good enough I guess, and one can choose the design one likes. (Like Serenata)

However iPhone and Beo phones are in such different segments, one is a luxury phone, the other an all round smart phone.
