Has any members got the B&o Serene as their mobile phone? If so whats your views on it?

David,

I do not have one, I did review it in detail and as you would expect the style is great, but I like style, but I also like up to date technology which means it needs to be at least a 3G (third Generation) phone. The new mobile phone to be released by B&O soon may be a different story, there is already some data on Beoworld you may wish to review.

Thanks Keith.

Hi David,

Take a look at some of the comments made in these threads:

I would like to get the review of Serene too, mainly on the signal reception ability. I have one phone of Samsung, D520/D528, the voice quality and the signal reception ability is horrible.

We had many posts on this subject in the past and IIRC we had a poll too. There are many mixed feelings about Serene.
Personally, I love mine and have had no problermas with it, I am on O2
Great sound quality, Great Sex appeal, Great finnish (Same as Beovision 8) Great scroll wheel, Just flippin' great, end of!

hi have a look on this treat   

Serene pros and cons please..?

+ second to none design, from package and charger stand to the device itself.

+ good materials used, plastic is very high quality so it doesn't get scratches at all even after months of usage, though it gets dirty easily.

+ clear sound, nice perception, very unique ringtones.

+ beautiful, almost best in it's class color display.

+ comfortable, fast, intuitive user interface including phone book.

- vga camera.

- no optional ringtones, no wallpapers, files you can view are only gif, and jpeg, so you can't read texts on it and so on.

- if I’m not mistaken it doesn't have a full html browser.

 

i would give it 91/100, best phones ever on the market. If you can feel the style and design behind it there is no other option.

I sold mine because i'm searching for a phone compatible with Japanese networks.
