This text will be replaced
 We saw Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, pull a Serene out of his pocket during a recent video interview, and it made us wonder why he would like it so much. It must have been for the unsurpassed sound quality, or perhaps for the novelty of the phone, because there is little else to recommend the device. The lack of a speakerphone, voice dialing, live searching on the contact list or any customization for the interface are unforgiveable omissions - we've reviewed plenty of phones available for free from carriers that do a fine job with these. If you want a phone with the best quality current networks can manage, the Serene has the audio chops, but there are many, many phones out there that sound almost as good. And those phones actually pack some useful features. Release: November 2006. Price: $1275.
Pros: Superlative sound quality. Cool design, especially the motorized hinge gimmick.
Cons: Lacks even basic features. Unimaginative interface. Click wheel hampers dialing. Difficult to dial and type on circular keypad.
