Actually that is quite reassuring! They think it will still be working in 18 months! I am sure the unlocking tricks will have developed nicely by then!!

Actually to be fair, the phone bit works OK. But it doesn't offer much more than a relatively basic phone would. As with most phones, dialling is usually done via the memory. It doesn't seem to offer the synching with the BC6000 like the Serene though which was one thing I really liked. It is very very nice to hold though!

True, but retaliating probably doesn't help!!

This means replacing the drivers will be expensive and although this would be the best idea, it may well be just too expensive. Reconing the speakers with new foam will be about £25 to

wtlc2zpx: The advantage of the serenata, is that it has ICE speaker and that you can use it as a music player, without earphones, if you are in your office or in a holel room. If you are not going to use this feature... buy an iPhone. And by the way you can also listen to music loud on an iPhone... but sound is not good enough, the speakers is only
