Thanks Guys. Evan, I agree, I really love the Serene and part of the reason I bought it was - ironically - because it was a simple, basic phone. I wanted a phone to make and receive calls, not browse the internet, send texts, listen to music and so on like you young guys with your iPhones! I also like that it can't really be personalised with ringtones

[quote user="Evan"] Hello Greg, I have a Serene but never used it for emails. I now have a data plan on my cell service and could try it out on my Serene. I use my Serene less and less these days and right now it is parked about 7 miles away from me. Once I'm near it I'll give it a whirl and post my findings. Unfortunately I have ATT

[quote user="vikinger"] Greg, Firmware downloads and manuals are here on the Samsung site. Graham [/quote] Thanks Graham. In fact that manual is the same as the B&O one as far as I can tell, but with the B&O branding removed!

Now come on, no need to be unpleasant. I thought you were one of the many on here that beats up on the Serene for not being "proper" B&O - which I guess it isn't, but it's far from the only B&O-badged product in that category!!! Just thought you were trying to be funny, no offence intended. The "don't give up your

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!! Hilarious. Don't give up your day job, though, eh! (In any case, the Samsung branded version SGH-E910 isn't known to T-mobile either). Seriously though, is anyone still using their Serene? And are you able to pick up emails on it?

Yes, I have the manual, but I don't think it helps. I've had the Serene since new in 2006 and for years was able to pick up email on it, in an emergency. I've noticed recently it no longer works and I suspect it's more likely that T-mobile's access settings have changed? So was hoping someone could help out with what needs to go

Can anyone help me set up my Serene (on T-mobile) to receive emails? Pretty sure I have my email account settings correct, and it has worked fine in the past, but I now only get to "Retrieving..." and then get a "Server Error - Time out" message. G.

I actually just found a thread from 2007 where a couple of people had experienced the problem. Would be great to find out if anyone managed to get it fixed, or whether I will need to finally retire the Serene.

My beloved Serene, my main personal phone since 2006, seems to have developed a fault: after being on a call for a couple of minutes, all of a sudden the sound starts to break up and becomes distorted and echoing. Ending the call and starting again clears the fault briefly, but it returns more and more quickly on each attempt. Happens on every call

To think I was considering opening a B&O store a while back... thank goodness the wise people here talked me out of it. I really despair of B&O's future - if it has a future. Recent products have been disappointing to say the least. I couldn't believe that after all the hype and build-up a couple of years ago for their revolutionary
