After that luke warm reception (and we're being pretty generous there) it looks like
B&O + Samsung are still bringing the Serene (aka
SGH-E910) to US shores. From the sound of their fluffy press release, it seems like the Serene will merely be sold in B&O stores, and probably at the boutique cost one might expect. For those actually considering it, we can tell you that it's supposed to include a brushed aluminum docking station and travel charger, and it'll have a specially designed leather Louis Vuitton case for it available at B&O and some LV stores, but really, why spend all this time polishing a turd?

That's good. I hear they have excellent ringtones for people that like non-annoying ringtones. I'll have to BT them off of a display unit from the store on Newbury St.

I'll keep my eye out for ringtones on the forums then. I have been using the 8800's Ryuichi Sakamoto ones for quite some time.
Besides that, however, if you want a rotary phone go w/ the Port-O-Rotary. True Ma Bell nostalgia.

What a joke!
1) It's ugly has heck
2) It's a heckuva lot bigger than it needs to be
3) It doesn't do anything special... just voice calls
4) It's the equivalent of a $20 brick phone I'd buy in China
The phone has no redeeming qualities. I can't believe educated people that would be employed at theese companies would make the decision to release a phone this... cheap.

Hey Anthony,
Where did you get the 8800's Ryuichi Sakamoto from? Also, what phone are you using it on.
I currently have a RAZR V3 Black through Cingular and want to use it on that.
Thanks
Adam

I really liked the 8800's tones, but the phone itself has so-so reviews. Thanks for the link - I'll be putting these on my Nokia 6256i.
