Thanks for the review Ed, and Kevin. I too have BeoSound 6 now. I'm missing my BeoSound 2 though ... I just don't feel the same overall top notch quality with the BeoSound 6. I wasn't impressed to find no pouch for the A8s and the velcro at the top of the case as you have already mentioned is an embarrassment for B&O's standards

Hi jooka, nice to see you back! I'm afraid I can't really help with your technical requests, however congratulations on your new buy all the same, I love the MX6000! My latest gadgets I suppose are the BeoSound 6 Beo5 and Serene. Like all 3 of them so far, gee ... I've gone a little "B&O portable" mad recently!

At first glance, I thought this was a gold BeoSound 2 Gold just isn't for me though.

Top notch info here! Thanks Graham, this has been useful to me too!

Britpop: The Serene displays the phone network "Vodafone UK". It would be nice if I could replace it with "Bang & Olufsen" I know its possible on other phones to change logo's, is it on the Serene? Yes, is this possible?

David: Yes it does seem to be tough, and speaking of protective film, i bought some on ebay for $15 after postage and what i waste of money! I'd rather scratch the screen. It looked so disgusting with a screen protector. Mine lives in my pocket also & i hope the dial marks aren't too bad, anyway i don't plan to keep it longer than a

Yes I too would be interested in giving my own donation. Lee, do you have an email address that we can contact Gordon?

As many of you have said, it looks almost identical to AV9000 to me! For this reason, I am not gob smacked by its design, as I have pretty much seen one of these before. There is nothing new here I would say. The triangular speaker makes the whole thing look a bit 90s, however I cannot say I don't like what I see in the photo. Looks good to me.

ArgyleMoss: Forget about both these phones and buy the xda orbit . Its the best phone ever. An O2 phone?!
