Looks like it could have the best sound quality, best ringer, the best user interface (wheel navigation like iPOD) and best design/material quality of any mobile phone...wow...

Seriously, aren’t these the qualities that really matters in a phone of today?

Perhaps this is the iPOD of phones...I can't wait to try it!

Yes, I'm over the stage of being excited about camera phones with useless cameras, MP3 phones with useless MP3 etc. Those features does not matter to me before they can replace my discrete devices. Until then...this "Bangsum" phone might be the best phone out there...]]>Dec 18th 2005 6:02PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2005/10/06/samsung-and-bang-amp-olufsen-serene-phone/http://www.luxist.com/2005/10/06/samsung-and-bang-amp-olufsen-serene-phone/
I displayed an upside-down phone solution to Samsung 2 years ago - so there is nothing new here, except the implementation is flawed - observe how the base of your thumb will obscure the screen in up-sidedown mode. My designs made way for this and counteracted this anticipated problem with good design. Furthermore the entire idea that MP3 is not supported from a company that specialises in sound reproduction completely eludes me.

Nevertheless I reserve final judgement for when I play with the device itself - who knows? I for one would love to be wrong... but my initial feelings are punctuated by misgivings concerning the marriage of design and funtionality.... Also - 640x480 cam is rediculous. Come on guys!]]>Dec 18th 2005 6:02PM
