Serene or Beosound 1 ???

The BS1 will last much longer than the Serene, and will bring more emotions (IMHO). It's worth your money compare to the B&O phone.

thank you all of you.
My first priority is beosound, than serene la..
also, i feel serene will be very trouble when typing words... do u think so?
also, one more thing, an interesting question, what's the correct way to hold and use Serene with thumb?
Hi Beo,
I think its all just a matter of getting used to - if you have a B&O store nearby then its worth a visit to fiddle around with the phone. I must confess I wasn't overly excited when I first saw the Serene online however after trying it out on the weekend I was completely blown away by the tactile quality and exquisite shape of the phone.
The rotary keypad does seem perplexing (I can only imagine what it'd be like after a few wines) however I find it a lot more accomodating (in terms of size) than something like the Nokia 8800 with its tiny keypad. Worth a mention is the oh so cool scroll feature which makes me wonder how it hasn't been incorporated in all phones! Regarding the way to hold the Serene, when the salesperson handed me an open Serene to hold, I instinctly reached for the phone with the screen up only to realise that I had held it upside down.
I'd like to purchase a Serene however will probably wait to see what the iPhone will be like when its released later this month. The Serene is such a beautiful phone however its a lot of money.
well, i know that screen is in the bottom. But I feel that it is hard to find comfortable way to hold serene during conversation. My friend suggested that we should hold the top part, i.e. speaker+keyboard part, this is more make sense.
I have the feeling by going through this post that your mind tells you to buy the BS1 while your heart bits for a Serene... I own an almost 2 year old Serene and it's still fantastic, as in the first day. However I will not try to persuade anybody to go for this mobile phone unless you really want to watch everybodies' jaws going to the floor when you answer a phone call.. I would go for it only if you are that enthusiast of exclusivity.
On the other hand I do really recommend BS1. Seems such a nice piece of modern music art. Definitely satisfaction guaranteed.
