I went to my dealer to do the same and the salesman hadn't even heard of it! She promptly replied with "I'm new"

I had a word with my dealer, dealers in Denmark and the USA and none can even come relatively close to the prices being mentioned here. I have operated charm in my emails/calls but to no avail.

Any tips gents?

Cheers

Simon, I'm not joking. I still don't like the phone but at 295 GBP it would be a nice try for experimenting with it. It will never be my main phone, just s.th. to play with ;-)

I should have a talk to my dealer :-)

TWG:

Hi,

here you can find all info about the Samsung Beat DJ phones:

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=mobilephones&type=mobilephones&subtype=bar&model_cd=GT-M7600RKAXEU

btw: 150 Euro for a Serenata is a very nice price for experimenting with it. Would you be so kind to tell me how and where I get it for that money? :-)

Thanks

Surely you're joking with me TWG? You're earlier post said it belongs in the trash can and you wouldn't pay more than 50 euros for it. Now you want to buy one at three times that cost? The price of a new Serenata is upwards of £295 depending on which dealer you visit. I have purchased more than £20,000 of B&O equipment in the last 2 years; my circumstances were different for this particular purchase. Shop around and look for the best price, that's what I always do before making any purchase. They sell on Ebay for £350 new. Perhaps that is an avenue worth exploring? I am sure you'll get a good price for one if you look around. All the best.

Simon.

Yes that is the one. Do you know if it is a sim card phone? Is it tri or quad band? I couldn't find any figures on it.

Also in all this talk of B&O phones, does anyone know anything about the Samsung M7600-11? It has B&O's ICEpower tech and looks fairly recent.

Hi evman140,

Do you mean the Samsung M7600 Beat? It has an ICEpower amplifier and is a Samsung musicPhone with ICE technology. The 7600 supposed to have DJ functions, but it can't mix 2 music files ore more.

It is a good phone I have read in tests. A very good music phone. (It has the name Bang&Olufsen on the front side.)

I am considering to buy one.

Regards, Robert

Hi guys,

I've always hankered after one of these, albeit not as a main phone because of the complicated use. However I was blown away by the speaker quality and output through the headphones! Looks great too.

Vertu's have never got me going and quite why Tag who don't produce particularly exclusive watches are building phones priced to compete with Vertu (3k+) I have no idea!

Never been able to afford the price-tag unfortunately. Would any member be able to point me in the direction of procuring one at a reasonable price? I would be most appreciative.

Thanks all :-)

Simon,

In my free time digging around the B&O site, I found the software download for the Serenata which tells me they are still supporting it in a way.

Hi Chris,

Yesterday when I checked http://www.bang-olufsen.com/ it was not under the Audio section, neither was it under the Telephones section. I just checked again now and it is still not their. It seems they have permanently removed the product from their site which I find interesting.

Simon.

Going back to the original topic, the Serenata is not under the "phone" section of B&O's website, but among the "audio" products..

Simon,

Just a personal note... it is always refreshing how you manage to find sunshine on a cloudy day!

I hope you enjoy your Serenata! ...you've just about talked me into one!

I guess that was pretty obvious. Did you buy it with something else with your serenata? Also, I'm not a big spender in my dealer, will it be a hard negotiation?

Will send you a PM with the details.
