can't wait to see it. as for Samsung, I’ve already written my ideas in B&O forum:
"The news that B&O started cooperation with Samsung to create a mobile phone concept was so unexpected that I’m still in deep shock. For me Bang and Olufsen always was a symbol, I was very young when I first sow a B&O product and I was inspired from the beginning. I have a web design studio in Moscow, and B&O was a source of inspiration during all these years. Not just products but a Company itself, as a brand, as a story of success, as a symbol of luxurious products. And of course I’ve been always dreaming about a mobile phone from B&O. And it looks like you are about to ruin my dream, and I bet all of you know why, Samsung is a company which is known for its low quality but cheap products, the same as the LG, there are thousands mobile phones manufactures, so why B&O decided to work exactly with Samsung, a company that cannot be even imagined in high-end market. Samsung positions itself as a company for every one, cheap TV sets, video, dvd, mobile phones, vacuum cleaners, sound systems, and what about B&O positioning and targeting? But it is not about targeting, B&O is not just pretends to provide us with quality it really does create masterpieces in aspects of design and quality, but Samsung only pretends. The idea of cooperation between B&O and Samsung sounds like the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. I can imagine a car made by Daewoo, KIA or HYUNDAI with a design from Bantley… what a shame..

Samsung mobile in terms of quality and reliability is far better than SE or Nokia. Maybe thats why B&O opted for Samsung. As for their other products.. yuggh!
and BTW, the hyundai something was designed by Panninfarina, thats Ferraris design house.

Ok, i think my next phone is Samsung too
but lets think a little bit, how much are we ready to pay for the Samsung with B&O design and functions like talk, sms and may be something else but not something hi-end, no camera, no java or something, but may be bluetooth...
As long as it will have B&O logo on it, it will cost a lot, and the B&O logo is what we are paying for so?
I'm ready to give 1000$ If i like design.

B&O have said themselves they are aiming for a niche market, so i think its obvoius they are only teaming up with Samsung for a little bit of advice, to guide them through the muddy waters of releasing a new phone. If thats the case, why NOT Samsung? They are just as adept as every other manufacturer, they make phones that work, and market them well.

i would have thought about Siemens being an option for them. german company with a lot of electronics experience.
then Ericsson maybe? as theyve worked on mobiles together in the past...
