A review of the elegant Bang & Olufsen Serene cellphone has been posted on CNET. ‘I t must be a sign that the economy is doing well when luxury cell phones become available to the everyday consumer. What with the recent Dolce & Gabbana Motorola Razr and now the Bang & Olufsen Serene, it appears there actually are people with enough money to burn on a pricey, fancy phone. Bang & Olufsen is more well-known to audio enthusiasts as a brand synonymous with high-end consumer electronics, and its new Serene is of a similar vein.
Manufactured by Samsung but with Bang & Olufsen style, the Serene has a black clamshell form factor, a rotary-style keypad, and a power-assist internal motor that makes for one of the most uniquely designed phones we've ever laid eyes on. That said, its high price tag, poor design usability, and lackluster functionality makes the Serene more of a showpiece than a real, everyday gadget. The Serene is currently available unlocked for a very high cost of $1,275.’
