Hands-on with Samsung and Bang & Olufsen's svelte Serenata

We bumped into the Bang & Olufsen Seranata at Samsung and were sure you'd all love it's crazy design. This has been around for a while now, but it was our first opportunity to get our hands on it. First impressions? Impressive! Pop on over to Engadget Mobile to see the pics.

huh?

Why can't you link "Engadget Mobile" in the story text? I'd love to see the pics, but clicking the story pic doesn't go there...and the link in the text doesn't go there....and I don't want to hunt around for another link.

Please link those things...why not?

If you just look up and to the right under the Engadget Mobile headlines, it is in the top 5 stories. Took me all of 2 seconds to find.

Try clicking READ. Not too hard.

Price: Arm, leg and possibly your genitalia + VAT

Couldn't you at least tell us what it bleedin' is?? Sheesh!

It's a phone.

Am I the only person seeing the serious design flaw in this? I mean your hand will be covering the screen when you use the controls!?!

Although they look cute, B&O phones are crap. Lousy build quality, buttons that stick (or are too small -- and my fingers are not particularly big), and tinny sound.

I think they should stick to their knitting: audio systems. Everything else they do falls short.

I think they have it upside down...

You'd think they could use a dummy SIM for their display phones. It scares me that they're not enabling anyone to see the actual UI...
