Thank you to our Sponsors
Just purchased a Serenata, can you tell me:
1. Do I have to charge the phone for 10 hrs before first use? Dealer said I do but manual says 3 hours.
2. Will the phone work in the USA as the manual says nothing about this?
3. Can I transfer music from the MAC to the phone along with cover art? What formats can be used and at what bit rates?
I would also like to know if the Serene mobile can be used in the USA.
Thanks in advance.
Simon.
Hi Simon, wouldn't it have been wise to research this before purchase?
answer to number 2....
yes, in network settings change band selection to GSM1900

Thanks to both posts. Lol @ Koko! Well ordinarily you would be right making such a comment but this was not an ordinary situation and I am not an ordinary person!

Hi, Simon
Answers to your questions:-
1) I thinks this is a common advice from cellular salesmen to ask their customers to charge their new phones for 10 hrs before use. Based on my understanding, Lithium battery is not required to charge that long in order to 'activate' it.
2) Serene mobile support GSM 1900. It will works in US as long as the mobile carrier use GSM1900.
3) I have both Mac OS and Vista in my iMac. However, I can't tell because I always have problems to transfer music with iTunes (Mac version). Example, songs are transferred but did not show up in the Music Library. In my opinion, this is easier to transfer music with Beoplayer in Windows system, if available to you. In addition, I do prefer Lossless files. Serenata did not support Apple Lossless. This is another reason why I use Beoplayer to transfer musics under Windows system.
