PL212: I don't believe the 7000 charger will safely charge NiMH, but I could be wrong? NiCd and NiMH charging systems are pretty much identical (as are the cells themselves in terms of voltage profile under charge etc), the only provisor is that NiMH is generally more susceptible to failure due to heat and so tend to fair less well than NiCd when

I saw this the other day and was going to point them out but got sidetracked. The best bit is where he says he has upgraded the drivers! Several years of careful design and development completely down the drain Luckily the paint job saves the day - they may have lost their original sound but at least they look good

David: Ah fair enough! I see these phones (the Serene & Serenata) as a fashionable accessory, a reliable device and a pleasure to use and own. Same as a Bang & Olufsen Stereo. Out of curiosity, do you buy any of the new B&O Puncher? Same as Chris - 20 years old BS5000 and used to have an MX TV. None of the current audio systems really moves

Agree. My point is (harking back to the Serene which, only the stalwart could defend, was a bit of an odball) how much nicer can the design be than an already slim, fuctional slider (bearing in mind the cold, clinical chap that I am). If my " phone " cost me £45 (on PAYG) why would I pay 20 times as much for something that did the same

Do

Medogsfat: Well those of you who know me also know my lack of excitement when it comes to mobile phones. It's a phone - it enables you to make phone calls and take pictures of drunken celebraties to sell to the newspapers. Why all the ooh aah over something that will very shortly be out of favour with the "must have" merchants?? I just

Unfortunately not - unless he list the individual tracks elsewhere.

Bump! This was in danger of slipping off the front page - so ............... I encourage all our overseas and nightshift members to download and listen.

jandyt: I think it looks quite nice but lacking wow. Love it or hate it, Serene definately has the wow factor. Pulling this out of your pocket isn't going to make people do a double-take like they do with Serene. I was hearing today that the speaker is a 'proper', HiFi quality speaker as befits a 'phone/MP3 player. Can't see it being
