Samsung and Bang & Olufsen launch Serenata Music Phone
Samsung has joined hands with Danish company Bang & Olufsen to introduce Serenata, which claims to be a true iPhone competitor.
Bang & Olufsen is a designer and manufacturer of stylish high-end home electronic products.
The novel looking Serenata MP3 phone includes 4GB of music storage and is designed for one-handed use, the click-wheel is used for phone dialing, writing texts and emails and accessing the music lists. All primary functions on the phone are controlled by the click-wheel.
A 2.26-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) touchscreen is placed below the click-wheel. The LCD screen displays menus and album artwork. The Serenata is compatible with GSM Networks (900,1800, and 1900 MHz bands) and HSDPA service.
As mentioned before, the Samsung and Bang & Olufsen Serenata phone is sure to pose some great challenge to Apple’s iPhone. What’s more, both the phones will be shipped in Europe by October-end, which is around the same time that the iPhone could release there.
Bundled with the Serenata is a dock to charge the phone, giving line-out audio for speakers and a USB connection that syncs files and music with both Macs and Windows. Reportedly, Bang & Olufsen could also include an extra software to transfer music from iTunes.
No details on the pricing of the Samsung and Bang & Olufsen’s Serenata phone have been revealed yet.

i’m cool with some other company trying to beat out the iphone but i really don’t think this phone could possibly work out… i mean iphone has a choosing of memory, and this phone only has 4 gb? the design may be cool but the turn dial is on top… it will make a big change in people usual movements of the turn wheel on the bottom and not on top.
