Bang & Olufsen Serene Cell Phone
UPDATE:
The Bang & Olufsen Serene phone carries a price tag of US $1,275 and comes with a charger/docking station as well as a travel charger.
Bang & Olufsen unveiled its first cell phone for the North American market, the Serene. Manufactured in association with Samsung, the B&O Serene is an elegant phone with an unusual one-step thumb operation.
When flipped open, the display and mic appear on the bottom half (!), while the keypad and speakers are at the top. Bluetooth is available, along with an email client and usual support for SMS/MMS. Packed with B&O's signature sound quality, Serene may well have the best speakers in town.
What's more, it also features speech recognition. Serene comes with a circular keypad (reminiscent of my Nokia 3650) and a big 2.1" display at 320x240 pixel resolution and 262k colors. It is also equipped with a very basic VGA camera.
We saw the Bang & Olufsen Serene a few months ago on the Whack. And, well, it's out now. No word on pricing yet, though. Specs in extended entry.
