The way it looks when it&amp;#39;s open is incredible, and it&amp;#39;s so different to other phones. On that note, the moment my contract ends (which is relatively soon) i will be there at my dealer purchasing one. To me it&amp;#39;s worth the extra money, other wise i would be wanting to hand over so much of my hard earned! &lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/05.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cool webpage BTW Simon!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: http://www.serenatamobile.com/</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/50834.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2007 04:28:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:50834</guid><dc:creator>The Beonic Man</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/50834.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=50834</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I know what you mean David because I do like the styling and the simplicity of the Serene phone. Having said that, its always difficult to pass judgement without seeing&amp;nbsp;a phone in real life so I am hoping the dealers will have the Serenata&amp;nbsp;in pretty soon. I wonder what &amp;#39;gimmicks&amp;#39; if any,&amp;nbsp;it will have? That&amp;#39;s what usually does it for me! The opening and closing of the Serene was a nice little touch I have to say. As a Serene user David, what would you say about it generally? Has it been a good phone? Reliable and easy to use? Any problems along the way? Worth the price tag?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Simon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: http://www.serenatamobile.com/</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/50825.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2007 03:50:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:50825</guid><dc:creator>Dave</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/50825.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=50825</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I assume the web page will open up and we&amp;#39;ll get to go through and &lt;em&gt;look&lt;/em&gt; at it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t have the money to have both the serene and serenata, and i am stuck on the design and simplicity of the serene, so i won&amp;#39;t be buying one in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: http://www.serenatamobile.com/</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/50823.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2007 03:39:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:50823</guid><dc:creator>The Beonic Man</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/50823.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=50823</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Well, just checked the site for an update and we have about 4 hours of waiting left.
