This Samsung F310 Serenata is real. I asked one of my friends at Samsung and he’s like, “I’m pretty sure.” That’s air-tight confirmation right there. He doesn’t know it it’ll come out in Americaland, though, so for now we’ll just have to make due with these renders. No spy shots, no unboxing, just a few renders. The stats aren’t bad by any means: 4GB of built-in memory, HSDPA, 2.4-inch screen, crazy Bang & Olufsen speaker, etc.
Hopefully one of those wacky Euro sites will post actual photos of the thing.
Oh, and its price works out to around $2,000. Chump change.
UPDATE: OK, T3 has a video of the phone doin’ its phone thing. Word.

I’m all for trying new designs and revolutionizing the way we look at handheld devices, but this thing looks like crap!
Many have tried the controls ABOVE the screen thing, and all have failed, because in the end you don’t want to have your own hand in the way when trying to navigate the phone with one hand (which is essential while driving your car or texting your ex while banging her best friend).
It’s not even thin, and it has the looks of a 90’s every day digital calendar. I guess if you want to own an overpriced mp3 player with speaker instead of getting a speaker dock for your iPod you should go ahead and buy it right now!
