Lol penta, you are quite right, it doesn't match with mine, so I am waiting for Serene 2 which will complement the colour scheme much better:

I take it Serene didn't match any of your handbags?

You sure you want one ?

Make sure it matches with your handbag if you do get one LMAO (sorry I can't resist - still think this product is a joke at that price) !!

I finally got to have a quick demo at an Australian dealer today and I have to say it was much smaller than I imagined it to be, but the quality and overall feel of the product was as everyone pointed out is quite good. One question I have though is can the text size be increased for the menus etc...my eyesight isn't that outstanding! I do find it unfortunate that it lacks speakerphone functionality and the battery performance doesn't sound all that promising but i'm sure it will outperform my current nokia smartphone brick.

Be aware that some have done this and then found themselves getting a lot of emails! Mine is definitely switched off!

The Serene is unlike anything else!

I can see it now - absolutely everybody will own one of these iPhones. *cringe*

Well I'm sorry Graeme and Puncher but I disagree with you both
Yes, Serene is a head turner. I've never opened it up in front of anyone who's jaw hasn't dropped.
Also I don't find it at all bulky. It sits in my left front trouser pocket all day with just a clean hanky for company and all evening in the corresponding jeans pocket with similar hanky. Sometimes I forget its there.
Just my couple of centimes.

@ v800: sei Italiano? e dove ai trovato il tuo Serene per 50% del prezo normale?

It looks quite good. I've always been keen with Samsung's design for their cell phones.

the above link is a pic of a quite nice style of phone. looks like a wallet and is wrapped in leather. Looks ok and it doesnt have to be other than just squaric looking. simple, wouldnt need the samsung badge though.. it could just say nothing on the front and I could wear one myself :)

anyway I have a serene which I bought for 50% of sales price (used item) and I am happy with it apart from SOMETIMES the lack of functions and SOMETIMES the feeling that the folding function is quite fragile maybe.

Value is a personal judgement depending on lots of things, obviously your financial situation being one of them. Each person will value things differently depending on their own personal benchmarks and references.

I must say however that I find the Serene particularly awkward looking and quite bulky. I would find it a chore to carry it and use it as an everyday phone.

but don't tell us that serene is a head-turner (unless at the local bingo).

but, wait a minute... all of you here are either concerned with attention or functionality. if you want attention, you get a patek philippe, if you want functionality, you get a casio. the point is that most of you will get a rolex, which is, really, neither...

so, if you are so grand to spend the money for attention, go get a vertu (it does the trick, believe me). otherwise, get a chubby ericsson to do your job. but don't tell us that serene is a head-turner (unless at the local bingo).
