Bang & Olufsen "SERENE"

The Serene is one of the coolest phones, it opens and closes by itself with the help of a small motor! The effect is quite dramatic, especially when on its charger and you receive a call. The software is limited, plain and unhelpful just like most Samsung phones, actually the graphics have been improved and simplified (a bit too much for my taste). Dialing is a nightmare and SMS'ing takes all of your attention and the whole afternoon... but it opens by-itself! The rubber surface (B &O claims it regenerates itself over time) is a bit unsettling and does not offer many guarantees as to durability... but it opens when you receive a call! The software is limited and you can't change or upload ring tones... did I mention that it opens by-itself? Another concern would be servicing, in most countries they would have to be sent via many places to have this done. This means one to three months, at least, to have the phone back...

look, it's opening!!!
