Serenata will be priced at £1000 (give or take depending on which dealer you are with) in the UK. Discovered this at a store a few days back now, as B&O sent out an email as I was sitting there!!!

Ah well.......... I'll just have to weld my Samsung to a BS3 - job done - half the price!

By the way Peter - great review.... you somehow managed to extract bits from Serenata which myself and Lee clearly missed!

Intrestingly, the "Mass Storage" setting only works with Mac - I tried this with Windows Vista and it wouldn't communicate at all.

No exact price that I have heard - however £999 would seem a possibility. I forgot to add, it has a really rather good currency converter on board!

Peter,

Any word on the retail price? Some of the dealers must know by now I would think.

Thanks for the great review! I do wish that B&O come up with a way to control the Serenata's music functions by using a Beo4/5 when hooked up with a stereo, especially if the sound is as good as you claim it to be.

Oh well, thats Andy out of the running to do the 4th review

By the way, the three reviews that have been done are brilliant. Well done Lee, Matt and Peter.

Yes. Maximum fine £2000 plus three points and struck off the register too, probably.
In theory, I am still in charge of the vehicle.
I would never dream of taking a call without handsfree! I am a profeshnial.

Perhaps we could find some friendly Driving Instructor to put it through it's paces.
You could be the first person arrested for speaking on one whilst driving - cool!!
Andy doesn't drive, he just sits in the passenger seat

Ahh ....... but can you still be charged because of the dual controls???

When does it go back to Struer??
Blimey, your not going to send it back, are you? Surely it needs a 4th review?
We've had the 'old guy' (sorry Peter), we've had the 'middle aged guy' (sorry Lee) and we've had the 'young pretender' (jammy git Matt). Surely it needs the early 30s ish plumber to put it through its paces on one of his 24hr 'On Call' weeks!!!

I was thinking more the "Jack the Lad, common Geordie-type" who could test the phone's ability to text swear words etc
