Samsung takes wraps off its iPhone rival Serenata

INTERESTING HANDSET; Try the first link for a look at the device and the second link for the article. What do you think of it?

Samsung and audio product maker Bang & Olufsen on Tuesday unveiled their latest joint music-mobile phone, Serenata, which holds 4GB of songs and has a number of other music features similar to the iPhone.

The handsets will go on sale in Europe by the end of the month, said Anthony Lee, a spokesman at Samsung. Pricing has not yet been determined.

The handset doesn’t look much like a mobile phone: the top half is dominated by a navigation wheel, the designers having dispensed with buttons. The 2.26-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) touch screen is below the navigation wheel, in the place where the buttons are found on conventional mobile phones.

The navigation wheel is intended to be used one-handed. All primary functions on the phone are controlled by the navigation wheel, including searching menus, dialing, writing and accessing music lists, the companies said. The touch screen is secondary.

It's not a Smartphone. It's a musicphone. I don't think it's close to the same thing. This thing will definitely flop, it's huge and what seems to just be fluff.

I love how the design inspiration is from the Pebble, doesn't Motorola make a Pebble?

I guess I need to read that again. I thought they meant an actual pebble - like from the seashore, not a piece of tech...

Edit:

Yup.

Serenata's organic rounded shape alludes to pebbles shaped by the ocean waves, the departure point for the designer...
