&lt;p&gt;So they're just redesigning BeoLab 4s are they? &lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/emotion-4.gif" alt="Stick out tongue" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seriously, I am not impressed by the Serene. If you are willing to fork out £800ish on a phone which is less reliable than my D600, and just has motorized opening and is made out of a slightly nicer material, then that's fair enough, but the price difference between the two is not £750.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe the 'Serenata' will offer more I'm interested in, but so far the iPhone looks like the phone I've been looking for for ages, decent Voice Mail options, decent MP3 player, decent photo storage and the web browsing/videos just come as an 'extra' for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Serene II (serenata) spy pics, detail info anything?</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/29988.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jul 2007 01:39:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:29988</guid><dc:creator>Acanthus</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/29988.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=29988</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;According to my source:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- sliding mechanism&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- click wheel&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- mp3 player&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- 4 Mb of memory&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- ICE-power amplifiers and speakers!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- no camera&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- price around 1500 &amp;euro;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Serene II (serenata) spy pics, detail info anything?</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/29987.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jul 2007 01:16:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:29987</guid><dc:creator>Alex</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/29987.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=29987</wfw:commentRss><description>Is there any drawing or sketch ?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Serene II (serenata) spy pics, detail info anything?</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/29980.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Jul 2007 20:44:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:29980</guid><dc:creator>SilentBob</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/29980.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=29980</wfw:commentRss><description>any news so far?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
