Samsung / Bang&Olufsen Serenata SGH-F310

Two icons of excellence come together in Serenata, a music player and mobile phone in one. It's high quality on a higher level, with the advanced acoustics, interface experience and design ingenuity of Bang & Olufsen combined with the intelligent mobile phone engineering of Samsung. Experience unparalled pleasure in a sublime design - in the palm of your hand. You can connect with the world via high-speed 3G data transfer, synchroniz your Outlook calendar or stay in touch with a EarSet 2 Bluetooth headset. Or you can switch to music mode and 'unplug' to recharge your mental batteries. Serenata has ample internal memory to hold a library of compressed music in various formats or even uncompressed tracks. It is very easy to connect to larger active speakers or use with the included EarSet 3 when traveling. Let yourself get lost in the music by switching to the PureMusic mode, and your mobile phone and text messages will still reach you - without interrupting you. Serenata's large aluminum wheel makes menu navigation on your phone easy and comfortable. It is combined with a context-sensitive touch screen that can be letters for texting, numbers for dialing or album graphics when Serenata is playing music. When you gather family members or colleagues for a quick speakerphone call, they will appreciate the clarity of sound and the excellent microphone. The same applies for hands-free calling at your desk where the integrated foot provides secure footing at the perfect angle. The back section slides up softly under light pressure like a precision instrument to reveal the music speakers. While half of Seranata is devoted to music and the other half to the mobile phone, the built-in speaker will deliver an outstanding sound for both. Advanced audio engineering and top-notch speakers are only partly to explain for the impressive performance. Bang & Olufsen's ingenious acoustics are the other reason, featuring two high-quality speaker units which, controlled by advanced digital signal processing, deliver precise reproduction of what's being said at the other end of the line - or played from your list of favorite tracks. That's in addition to ICEpower amplifiers, which enable a surprisingly powerful sound to emanate from such a small space.
