Uber-rich Bang&Olufsen fans must be rejoicing as Samsung and the luxury tech brand have finally announced the eagerly expected Serenata F310 music phone. As you can see from the image above — and more images after the break — this is one quite strange device. Not that I’m saying anything bad about it, except that with the retail price of 1400 Euro ($2000), it’s way out my reach. 🙁
In terms of specs, expect the built-in HSDPA connectivity support, 4GB of on-board memory (we were hoping for more), big speaker, 2.4″ 240×240 px 262K color touchscreen, and click wheel navigation for browsing through your music collection. In addition, it’s also worth mentioning the Serenata comes with very cool lookin’ dock and that B&O argues this device could actually function as a decent home entertainment system. Now, that’s one thing we’d like to test. 🙂
