Looks like he's hanging on to those old but successful design concepts for dear life, oops! Sad to see, the design of this phone looks very desperate and cheap.

I can't wait to get one here in Aus, it looks much more striking and glamorous to me than the Serene, and it feels more natural to hold.

I've got one and am underwhelmed by it. It's cheap creaky feeling buttons are a let down and the fact that it is scratched so easily is pathetic, just as bad as the BS2. It depends on the equipment too, the Beovision can be operated for the other end of the house down the hall way, but the BS1 has to be pointed at.

has anyone ever heard of the word psychosomatic? Yeah i only go as far as power surge protecting, which is cheap as chips here anyway. Although, i have to say, if it sounds different to you, then go ahead and swipe that credit card, as long as your happy, thats whats important.

moxxey: I'd rather prefer to compare the BV7-40 MKIII with a blu-ray DVD compared to how it would display on your Sony LCD, 24fps or not. For your information, I lent someone my PS3 with a Sony 32" LCD, mid-week. The first thing I noticed that his TV couldn't decode the PCM-based audio (which is a key benefit for blu-ray).

Yes true, i would choose BS1 over zepplin on aesthetics, but lets see how it actually sounds when setup just right. I just wish the Beosound 1's bass could be turned down. I love the XT series speakers, and i think B&W are pretty good with aesthetic, then there is the price of B&W, it's realistic in comparison.

Latest B&W news Are they copying B&O? All i know is that it appears that B&W is catching up and introducing wireless active speakers based on the XT and PV1 series that may actually be better. B&O is already challenged by the PV1, so this is interesting. Love that new jag by the way.

That photo makes the beo 4 look newer than the philips! I would opt for a lintronic to control other things

Glad to read that they remembered to patent, this time PS is every 100 hours of viewing, regular? For me that would be every month

There are only two speaker designs that i cannot stop admiring, and they are: Beolab 4000 on floorstands, and Beolab 5. The other (loudspeakers) are average looking to me. The Beolab 4000's on the floorstands are the most strange and facinating speakers to look at, and then to top it off, a magnificent balanced sound eminates with bass that seems
