That is certainly not as insane as it could be... Can the beocom5 be used with the beoline PSTN base as the Beocom6000?

Hi Cristian,

The manual displays a Beoline2 only!

B&O also writes: More handsets can be registered to Beoline2, the oldest model, read BeoCom 6000, has te be registered FIRST. The functions for ALL will then be limited to that oldest handset. 

Regards, Robert

B&O must be very careful when pricing this phone - the iPhone generation will have to google the words "land line phone" and then figure out if they need a phone that only works inside their homes... (and perhaps in their gardens) in addition to their existing iPhone's 😁

Pricing for the mentioned generation would be 27 Euro/30 dollars per month for 2 years.............

nice - definitely a modern design to build on the tried and tested classic designs of B&O handsets.

could be a good starting point to attract new followers to the brand

Thanks for sharing, Quim. Not sure I like the design, though. Does anyone know why the speaker and microphone are placed on the opposite side of the display?

Not sure: Possibly for the one who cleanes in the house.......no display and no bottons at your face while using the handset. Keeps that side cleaner......

Or ......... for your partner to see who you are talking to

I never liked the looks of the Serene that much, and therefore not much of this either...

Some mobile phone manufacturer - forget which one - used to have this arrangement. Their point was that you can operate the buttons while talking.

Hello dear beofans,

I am not really found of the design, furthermore, having the speaker and microphone placed on the opposite side of the display isn't really ergonomic, in my taste.

But let's see this one on the flesh...

The optional speaker part for a hands free conference call, one places the handset there:

As I recall the keyboard and screen are for when the unit is in the stand.  Makes perfect sense so that one can see the screen and dial  while on speaker phone.  I love the becom 6000 but hate the fact that I have to pick up the phone to see who is on caller ID.
