Uit mijn herinnering weet ik nog dat de Serene GSM in 2 uitvoeringen werd uitgegeven en daar bedoel ik mee dat de door de dealer verkochte Serene docking kon syncen met de telefoonboek van de Beocom 2 en/of 6000 PSTN. Kan iemand van jullie dat bevestigen en hoe herken je deze docking of dit er een is die inderdaad kan syncen. Ook telefoonwinkels brachten de Samsung Serene destijds uit maar die had die mogelijkheid niet.

Hi Leslie,

I think all the Serene phones were the same. In my case I discovered that all the phone memory functions were held within the B&O dock itself. B&O never made this clear. I bought my Serene second hand and the previous owner had wiped the phone memory. However, what he did not realise was that as soon as I docked the phone all the previous owners contacts and emails were restored!

Het verschil zit hem in het dockingstation. De door B&O-dealers geleverde uitvoering kon via DECT synchroniseren met de BeoCom 6000, de door Samsung geleverde uitvoering kon dit niet. Je kan het verschil zien doordat je de B&O uitvoering kan aanmelden op het docktingstation via het menu, bij de Samsung uitvoering kan dit niet.

Graham, there's a difference in Serene's docking when bought from the ordinary telephone shops or bought from the B&O dealer.

Serene's dockings issued by the B&O dealer were able to synchronize phonebook with Beocoms 6000 through DECT.

This is I think what Blackrix already has explained. Thanks for your reply (can you read Dutch?)

@Blackrix, not sure but I think you can see the difference at the bottom side of the docking? B&O has put a sticker on it. Not sure though.....

Hi Leslie,

If a post heading looks interesting I will sometimes check the page using Google Translate! It's not perfect but you can usually get an adequate translation.

I would not have replied if I hadn't known that you write and understand English better than most!

i thought the Serene docking station was unique to the B&O version, and that the Samsung version just came with a charger, but I may well be mistaken.

Incidentally, my Serene motor eventually failed with nasty crunching noises. I liked using the phone a lot, but it's Internet connectivity was always a problem. Good for photography because you held it at waist level at 90 degrees to the subject.... so self conscious subjects never realised what you were doing!

Hi Graham,

The Serene Docking Station was unique to the Bang & Olufsen version. The Samsung version had the same shape charger, but the electronics to connect it to the BeoCom 6000 base was not in the Samsung version. So that is the difference.

@Grahamm

Much appreciated by the Dutch members Graham to mingle in our discussion!

To be honest, it's a nightmare using a Serene nowadays but such a beauty to look at!
