Thanks Matt I loved your review very much, I see Lee has been a very good teacher to you.

 I also hope your girlfriends parents have forgiven you.😁

Cheers. 

And in the movie is a short discussion with CEO of Bang & Olufsen - Torben Ballegaard Sørensen.

I would advise you to take a look, even when most of it is in Dutch.

Interesting point, the girl asked TBS if we could expect more from this collaboration (B&O + Samsung)
TBS intimated there could be "one every second year" Hmm.
Thanks for the link, Coolskin.

Thanks for the thorough review, although my partner is less impressed since my desire to buy this handset has skyrocketed!  I just hope Australia gets this one more hastily than the Serene.

There are several real worlds.  Although I can't buy the Serenata because I live in the US, I have been reading all the reviews and comments. When the Serene became available, I booked a flight to Paris and ordered the Serene even though there would be some problems using it in the US.  I have an iPhone now and the Serene is the standby phone.

To those who asked if the Serenata is Mac friendly, it is not.  You can export MP3 music from iTunes to be played on the Seranata but not the DRM protected songs.  That is changing because many EMI songs on iTunes are not DRM protected.  The contacts file on a Mac have to be copied manually.  The is also true on a Serene but is manageable.  Texting on a Serene and a Seranata is a painful experience.  Texting can be done but it is not easy.  I noticed on the Serenata, that dialing a number is cumbersome.  It is true most numbers are dialed from the contacts list but not always.

Do I like the Serenata?  Yes because that B&O person inside me thinks the design is great and the sound is wonderful. I am still going to Paris soon and will longingly look at the Serenata.  However I think this time I will resist buying the Serenata.

To those who are contemplating an iPhone or the latest Nokia phone and trying to compare them to a Serenata remember they are all very different.  Serenata is an affair of the heart! Hence the name.........it sings to your inner you. (This is somewhat silly but I think it is true of most B&O products.)
