B&O's Serene II outed by the feds

by Thomas Ricker, posted May 15th 2007 at 3:49AM

Oh sure, it doesn't look like much now, but that illustration above is none other than the Serene II fashion(ish) phone courtesy of the FCC. Otherwise known as the Samsung developed SGH-F310, the latest Bang & Olufsen über design packs GSM with EDGE data, 3G WCDMA, and Bluetooth 2.0. It's just a guess, but from the looks of the backside pic above, we're expecting the Serene II to continue with the original Serene's clamshell design only sporting a curvy fade sure to make Trekkies swoon.

[Thanks, Tuolumne]

for those who value exclusivity over design, features and price...

too bad B&O has lost its way, they used to make ground-breaking designs 10 years back. but somehow, they haven't kept up with the times. B&O stuff - maybe with the exception of the hideous Serene I - still looks nice but neither revolutionary nor any better than your run-of-the-mill Samsung/Sony gear. lots of quality problems too.

You really should take the time to check out some of the newer stuff... Their speakers really are damn good. The TVs not so much, but I really dig the speakers.

Probably going to be a smartphone of sorts, this... Or at least my sources tell me so... =P

"the latest Bang & Olufsen über design packs GSM with EDGE"

Yes, "over-design" indeed. Please help keep the Germans laughing at you repeatedly, über und über wieder. Seien Sie nicht eine Verzögerung.

And the curve is necessary to keep the phone from looking like that $5.00 electronic desk clock/calendar that came from the crap giftware section of Marshall's that found it way to me via the secret Santa at work.
