    Serene II

    Here is a first illustration of the Samsung SGH-F310, know as Serene II : 

    Serene 2

    It comes from Engadget : http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/15/bandos-serene-ii-outed-by-the-feds/

    Here is a copy of the article :
    Oh sure, it doesn't look like much now, but that illustration above is none other than the Serene II fashion(ish) phone courtesy of the FCC. Otherwise known as the Samsung developed SGH-F310, the latest Bang & Olufsen über design packs GSM with EDGE data, 3G WCDMA, and Bluetooth 2.0. It's just a guess, but from the looks of the backside pic above, we're expecting the Serene II to continue with the original Serene's clamshell design only sporting a curvy fade sure to make Trekkies swoon.

    Re: Serene II

    difficult to imagine the real phone. but as it seems it is going to have more curves than the actual serene. does anybody know how long we have to wait for it?

    If a prototype is sent to the FCC for approval, usually the launch date is close, but coming from B&O, we never know!

    Nice, any suggestions , drawings ,how it could look like from the front ? I waited with my purchase because I thought the new serene would have the same design but with more features.

    The Samsung version is said to cost 1000€, so maybe 1100-1200€ for the B&O!

    Re: Serene II

    Serenata, i really like that name. I'm assuming that this will be a much more serious product after all of the issues that have come from the Serene.

    Hi Andy!

    In Spanish, mermaid is "Sirena", "Serena" is the feminine form of a "calm person".
    "Serenata" means "a serenade".
    A horrible "kitschy" name for a phone device (in Spanish) No
    The word "Serene" don't exist in Spanish.

    The language lesson is finished now... leisure time !   Laughing

    Re: Serene II

    I just read in the news-section, that the "serene 2" would be called serenata. I hope this is a bad joke. There is nothing wrong about the name serenata, but if it come as the follow-up to a product named serene, it becomes a little ridiculous IMO.Ick!
