The Serenata.- New mobile from Bang & Olufsen

Samsung Electronics and Bang & Olufsen launch serenata a new music-mobile phone which holds 4G bytes of songs (storing about 1,000 songs) and has numerous features similar to the iPhone .The Serenata doesn't look like a mobile phone . The top half has a navigation wheel with no buttons.

Serenata's click wheel navigation gives users simple and easy operation of the phone's functions. There are very few actual keys, with the wheel being used for all primary operation supported by on-screen operation based on sensi-touch technology. A large 2.4-inch colour LCD display developed by Samsung allows Serenata to show album covers in high resolution and facilitates on-screen navigation.


The amount of song storage space is a major difference between Serenata and the iPhone. Apple Inc. has already said it will only sell 8G-byte iPhones in the future, once it sells out of the 4G byte version. The Serenata works with GSM networks,900,1800 and 1900 MHz bands, and with HSDPA services on 3G networks. Users can send e-mail SMS text messages from the handset, and store up to 1,000 phone numbers in its address book. The phone allows users to create to-do lists, write in calendars, and has enough battery power for three hours of talk time.

The handsets will go on sale in Europe by the end of the month, said Anthony Lee, a spokesman at Samsung. Pricing has not yet been
