well, i seldom have phone call actually. So Sometimes i do not use my beocom 4 for 48 hours continuously. Should I put it back to the stand? or should I leave my out of the stand? I wonder which method is the best for the Ni-Cd battery inside and the charging circuit?

yes, excetly. also, actually by using good encoding software/hardware, you can enjoy good music with 128kbps, you can have 500 songs each time !!!!!

of course, we do expect quality difference as price changed

why does germany so special to me 1 month later? so if the price has not been adjusted yet in my place, does it mean it will be effective on 1 July???

thank you for your "on-topic" reply. well.... i do expect little difference, but no difference is a disappointing answer to B&O fans

any price update in other countries?

well.. B&O now only use active speaker. so is there any big difference in sound quality between CD players alone.. e.g. beosound 4 and beosound 9000. B&O always say they have optimized the sound quality. For speakers, of course the size of speaker limits its quality, beolab 5 must win beosound 4000, for example. But this does not apply to CD

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.

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?

usually the use of SD card is for portable players. A large memory will lead to significiant drop of battery life due to long searching time. but i really love B&O using SD card... so you can get unlimited upgrade of your system.
