Admit it: Your mobile phone is something you throw in a bag or pocket, drop occasionally, and just hope has enough juice left to make a call when you need it. Sure, when it's brand new you treat it with a bit more respect, but after a couple of months the phone is bound to take a beating. Now comes a phone that is more chic than geek, and it could be the phone you treat with the respect it deserves. The Serene is Samsung mobile technology housed in a sleek case designed by Bang & Olufsen, and it's a phone everyone might want... at least until they hear about the $1,275 price.
The design of the Serene is unique, with the display and microphone in the lower shell and the circular keyboard and speaker in the upper shell. Despite the minimalistic look, the Serene comes with features such as a digital camera, e-mail and SMS functionality, and Bluetooth. It will be available in Bang & Olufsen stores this November. And before that price turns you off... remember that the Serence package includes a travel charger. Not that most people could afford to go anywhere, after buying it!

Whoa. Swanky phone, to say the least, but I don't know if anyone could really justify that kind of expense, unless they're the types to spring for the other ultra-expensive phones we've seen in recent years, like the Black Diamond, or the other vendor that specialized in diamond encrusted phones. Yikes!
Still, it definitely looks good, and has a really unique and innovative design-it really does make a cellphone look and seem more like an elegant accessory rather than just a tool you keep on a clip on your belt, you know?

This phone seems cool, but the price is really high. I didnt see a single feature (other than the way it looks) that doesnt come on an ordinary motorola phone. If i slap a $1200 price tag on a turd, would you buy it? Even though there are other turds in the toilet that are cheaper?
