Oh dear - it just got WORSE for ssgill. I would feel that I had been lied to if I were him & ask for a refund.

Still way overpriced though even at these "bargain" prices.

If my memory serves me right, B&O gave the then president G W Bush a Serene when they launched. At the time presidents weren't allowed mobile phones (Obama sulked so he is allowed to keep one).

Anyway, what are the chances of GWB actually opening it and using it - maybe he has a brand new Serene.

ssgill -this may be your chance if you ask him nicely!!!

When I see the price Pound Sterling 1.800,00 I wonder how many vintage items I can get for that amount. Oh man, Oh man.

At the time it just looked so wrong seeing the word 'Samsung' next to the wording 'Bang and olufsen'

I remember ordering one at the end of 2005 from B&O of York but cancelled it at the last minute. For me the killer was the Samsung name on it and that weird camera on the side of it!

The iPhone 4 should of been the phone that B&O launched due to the beautiful construction of it!

At least seller could have made some decent pictures for that kind of money.

Never knew, to be honest, that people would spend that much for the Serene, so this guy is actually selling! I think seller is referring to member "ssqill" who's the only 1 in the world buyer

The Serene is a beautifull looking phone, no doubt

ssgill:

The way I see it is the only one in the world I can find new.

Er.... looks like this seller was a little economical with the truth with his claims to have sold you the ONLY NEW ONE IN THE WORLD.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few of these things waiting to be listed.

The way I see it is the only one in the world I can find new. How many people can say they own a B&O product such as this? The other great thing is it takes so little space it can be stored or used (i.e. be with you at all times).

ssgill:

I paid £1800...

One smiley for that:

Good lord. You must have really wanted a Serene!

Once again thanks for all the emails!

The dealers didn't have any brand new (many simply laughed down the phone in the same way the maitre d' @ Dorcia did at Patrick Bateman in American Psycho when he requested a same-day reservation!

I bought from the UK seller on ebay who is selling a Brand New Serene. He is a great guy if not a little eccentric, I am pretty from emailing pretty much every B&O dealer in the developed world over the past month that he is the only one with them. I paid £1800 although he is selling for £2000 to cut a deal just for me. It was worth the saving as I will keep it in pristine condition and think it will only appreciate in value to real B&O aficionados as the only truly cool 'iconic' B&O mobile. Kick Mobiles www.kickmobiles.com used to sell for £2000 + VAT but stopped getting stock about a year ago.

Have fun with it. They're great looking phones! I got mine 5 years ago when they came out and it's still working fine. If it does eventually go, I'll probably just look for another one or maybe try it's younger brother.
