Samsung has released pictures of its new phone developed in collaboration with Bang and Olufsen. Called the 'Serene' (yes, 'cos that's exactly how mobile phones make you feel!), it's designed to compete with Nokia's Vertue: that is, very expensive, style heavy, feature light. Apparently it does have 'perhaps the best sound quality in the mobile phone market' which you can try out for yourself at serenemobile.com, but to be honest, you can't really tell all that much from the chime of a single bell (though it did annoy the hell out of my cat - not sure if that's a feature though!) The phone will be out in November, but there's already a comprehensive review at mobile-review.com. They conclude much as I suspected: "This device is extremely uninteresting for people using other functions besides calls. Principally Java support is absent....Some times the phone looks extremely archaic – the manufacturer cut everything they could. In the end we have a device that will be interesting to people who got used to showing their status with such devices not bothering about their functionality and any application to real use." In other words: avoid!
