    Re: BeoWorld Presents... Serenata!

    clifft:
    Oh Gawd!!! Reading these posts on the Serenata and seeing the B & O website about it, the Beovirus has kicked in and I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!!!!  I was just thinking about getting a new iPod as the current one I have mainly stays in the glove box of my Lexus wired into the stereo system of the car, and I wanted an extra one as a portable. Then along comes the Serenata.  Can any dyed-in-the-wool B & O fanatic possibly resist such a beautiful piece of equipment?  I am off  to London at the beginning of December and toyed with the idea of getting one there. However, after the few problems I had with buying the Serene there and getting it working satisfactorily here in Australia I figured I may wait. Then, on coming home from work today, there is an invite from my Melbourne dealer for a social evening at the end of October where "New Products will be unveiled"  Note the plural.  I hope onet will be the Serenata andt I will be a sitting duck and the money will be in the till!!! As an aside, I have just returned from a specialist consultation where I have just been told that I do not have cancer so the mindset has changed from DIE, DIE, DIE, to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!!!  Seriously, it takes an event like that to put things in perspective.  If you can afford it (whatever "it" is), then DO IT!!!

    Very pleased to hear your good news. I think you clearly deserve a Serenata!!

    FM would have been nice, but could live without. Though, not having a camera bothers me. It helps when you are around and would like to take pictures, specially with children.

     

    Nevertheless I look forward in seeing it and listen to the sound quality. You never know.....

    Re: BeoWorld Presents... Serenata!

    Thank you for the review.

    To me it sounds like a great phone. I only miss two things in it.

    1. FM-radio
    2. Remote control capability. Like Beocom 6000, but maybe a little bit more advanced.

    This phone looks more descent and a stronger build-quality than the Serene. Love the design of the Serenata. So it would cost for about 1500€ (ieuw like a Beosound 1). What's the maximum capacity of the SD-card that the phone can handle? The build-in loudspeaker(s) is it stereo or monaural sound? At the röntgen picture i see three speakers, i think one for calling and two for music? If it's such a spectacular phone, it must sound in stereo i think. And indeed, would be great at a picnic or to let hear the newest song to friends when you're not at home :p

    Very informative thread. I have one question left: does the Serenata have the same algorithm for MP3's as the BS6?

    Beoworld's twenty-eighth ninth prize winner and fifty-first second prize winner. Best £30 I've ever spent!

    Re: BeoWorld Presents... Serenata!

    Looking at the figures, I don't think so. The Serenata can use Lossless files which it would appear the BS6 cannot. Seems strange and I may well be wrong. The Serenata really did sound fantastic though!
