The iPhone is clearly a great gadget though I only use mine for email and apps, as the sound quality from calls is poor.
The Seranata is certainly different and in many ways quite likeable (if a bit cumbersome), and the sound quality is very good; but I find it just not very useable.
The Vertu to my mind is the phone B & O should have made - a high quality straightforward phone with excellent call quality.
As no one phone ticks all the boxes maybe best to have a couple?

I have never tried the Serenata, but the iPhone 3g is the first smart phone I have used. I originally just bought it for business reasons (to test equipment with it) and I didn't see smart phones as that useful, but to my surprise I found the iPhone very easy and useful for several purposes. I use email and the calendar a lot and I have started to use it for car navigation and light sea navigation (just for fun though, serious sea navigation needs to be done with dedicated instruments). I don't use the music or movie features at all, but my kids take the phone all the time when in the car to watch movies or play games.
So I and the entire family has got totally addicted to the iPhone. Bad points are low battery capacity, bad GPS facilities and no syncing with Thunderbird (afaik).
Whoch one would you go with. Serenata or the Iphone 3gs? I am trying to choose.
Buy both phones! The Serenata can be that special phone that you use for music and occasionally as a telephone. However the iPhone is truly a 21st century device in almost every way. I am on my 3rd iPhone. My newer iPhone was recently stolen but I was able to remotely erase and disable the phone. Unfortunately I had to pay full price for a new iPhone.
I discontinued my regular home phone not just to save money but because the iPhone is more useful.
Does anyone have an issue with continually dropping their piephone? - I've lost count of how many times I've dropped mine while getting it out of my pocket etc.! Sometimes it's like handling a bar of soap in the bath!
Sleek and slippery metal&glass design isn't necessarily a good thing when something is meant to be hand held.
Access to works email (MS Outlook) and web browser swung it for me.
I've never dropped mine. But knowing it is slippery, I tend to pull it out of my pocket carefully.

All the time!
Top pocket, pick something up, and out it slips - never seem to learn!
