B&O Press Release

Fantastic! If Apple won't build me a phone, then I'll have to settle for my second favorite company: B&O.

Sounds like they got something really special up their sleves:

Quote:
The intention is to create a truly unique product, which breaks with conventional assumptions and expectations to offer users a new mobile experience.
It will probably be mighty expensive, but mighty great, and B&O have by far the best industrial designers in the world in terms of aesthetics in my humble opinion. Stepping into a B&O shop for me is like a Budhist monk stepping into his temple.

The best thing is that its focused on communications - I bought a fancy motorola about a year ago with a camera, games and all that jazz - so underwhelming and really quite useless, but it was hard to find a good looking phone that didnt come without the superfluous stuff.

But the time has finally come! I cannot wait to see this phone.

Now this one could be very interesting!!!!

Shame they joined up witih Samsung though..,
I'm sure though it is B&O it will HAVE to look good...

Mmmm didn't we think that might have occured when Apple and Motorola joined?
Sure I know it was a Moto phone... and they just wanted iTunes.

let's hope that B&O design the look, and maybe they just use Samsung for software / technology.

Mmm can you imagine a B&O GUI? cool!

Any guesses of development and the release timeline?
Of will London possibly host their Olympics, and Apple finally release Aust iTMS and iPhoto book printing before we see a B&O / Samsung phone?
