As usual, its not really all that attractive, but not quite unattractive enough to call it ugly. However if you are an audiophile, or just consider yourself someone who enjoys good quality audio, then this phone might be for you.
Firs there are the integrated HiFi speakers and the nice aluminum dial thing for navigation. Then there is the 4GB of storage for music. On the phone end, there isn’t a number pad, but the screen is a sensi-touch display, which I assume means you can dial by touching the screen.
There is a dedicated button to switch between music and phone functions, both of which appear to be navigated through the aforementioned silver navigational wheel thing and the 2.4” LCD. If you are able to make sense of this “psycho-acoustic phenomenon” mumbo jumbo then this phone is probably for you.
You can be sure it will be expensive, in fact, I wouldn’t put it past B&O to try and sell it for the same as the iPhone since its pretty close to the same thing. Only, the iPhone is more attractive.
B&O’s ‘Serenata’ music phone unveiled [via Crave]
Why is it that everything Apple produces is better…? Finally somebody made a much cooler looking phone with better sound and picture and without the user has to be forced into ITunes, then Apple is also more attractive ? I say the bast thing about this Serenata is that not every high-school will be able to afford it … that is attractive.
What a completely biased review! I have a Serenata with me here now, and it’s easy to use, functional, beautiful to look at, constucted solidly, and sounds like a music system twice it’s size! The iPhone is awesome and will be it’s main competitor - but everyone will have one! The Serenata will cost around £750 in the UK, around £500 MORE than the iPhone. Not because it’s better technologically, but you can bet your bottom dollar that in two years time, when the iPhone is dead and buried, these things will be working as well as they did on day one!
