Woz's Unique Phone Plus His Love of 3G and GCal

Woz is back, this time to dish on phones. What does he like in phones? What makes a phone worth owning? What phone does he use on a day-to-day basis? Interestingly enough, he's a big fan of 3G phones that are fast enough to stream video. I guess you didn't get the memo, Woz: The iPhone is sorely lacking in the 3G department.

As for what phone he carries around, he sort of winked at the notion that he has an iPhone already, but he's smart enough to know what Jobs would do to him if he busted it out at a press event. So what did he have on him? We won't spoil it, but it's safe to say it's as rare and unique as the watches he wears. –Adam Frucci with video by Richard Blakeley

I got to play with one of the B&O phones before, they are pretty sweet!

O dear, I've lost some respect for him over the B&O phone. O dear, indeed.

so THAT'S who bought the B&O phone! I was wondering if they'd ever actually sold a unit...

a B&O Serene!
Come on, that phone is a complete joke. If you really are going to spend an obsence amount on a phone with limited functions, go for a Vertue

B&O should just stick to do what they do best, design nice stereos and televisions

I would never buy a phone shaped like that, even if I could afford it.

ummmm. i didn't hear him mention the iPhone. he said something about "that's what apple's doing" but now what i thought of considering the headline. i think you guys just like to screw with the iBoys and lead them on to think there is some news about it.

This guy left his edge back in the eighties. Wether its the Serene, the Segway, or his lame gps dog collar business, he's been in left field for a while.

Wow, is that phone even usable?

I was on a plane with Woz last week from New York to San Francisco (He was in first, I was not). I made careful to check out what phone he was using and it was a beatup, trusty old Razr, no a fancy-schmancy B&O or a new-fangled iPhone.

Also, Woz apparently likes number puzzles.

I have learned through this video series that Woz...has a weird friggin taste in gadgets. Who has pockets big enough for that phone? Or wrists big enough for those watches?

"the number buttons along the outside work well for even text messaging"
are you joking? That has got to feel like typing on a 1950s rotary phone... I just can't imagine it being anywhere near as fast as typing on his next-most-favorite phone, the Blackberry Pearl.

Hey don't be so hard on Woz. The Apple ][ was pure genius. He'll be following it up with something just as good any day now. Seriously, have patience.

I've played with the Samsung Serene. It has to be B&O's ugliest design to date. The chunkiness is just so not Bang & Olufsen.

I would really like to watch embedded video on the main page without "making the jump." Can you guys get on that?

Remember, folks, Woz actually has brain damage from a flying accident.

LOL @ the GPS Dog Collar business comment, he attempted to recruit my father to head that project. I remember him laughing about that over dinner one night.
