Samsung Serenata by Bang & Olufsen

Tired of those plain designs of phones from Nokia and Sony Ericsson? Then check out this new design from Bang & Olufsen and Samsung. Its called the Serenata and because its from Bang & Olufsen, it ought to be great!

With a new innovative design, Bang & Olufsen placed the controller on its latest design creation above the screen, to lie surprisingly comfortably for the thumb to do its music-spinning worst.

Like your iPod Nanos Click Wheel, its touch sensitive and will scroll through tracks and artists. HSDPA is on-board for web browsing on the 2.4in screen but it's definitely a music player first; there's a healthy 4GB of storage and the bundled EarSet 3 earbuds should keep everything sounding sweet.

For communal listening, the built-in speaker promises to trick the ear into believing its a bass fiend without the need for a sub or you can hook it up to a stereo via the silver designer dock that also charges and syncs.

No word on how much you'll have to pay for this mobile music confection, but if you find this one offered as a free upgrade on your contract, snap it up quick.
