Beocom 5 quality in general

56 replies

I don't know,I use the beocom 5 with the speakerstation with no other telefoons.

Everthing is working fine.

While I'm glad to hear that there are a few users out there without problems, the majority do have at least minor issues. To date I have not been able to get two handsets to work in my own showroom. The problems are also not isolated to SW issues. Buttons consistently stick on most of the handsets and the wheels often feel like there are shards of metal underneath them. 

It frustrates me to no end, not only because customers still want them (I guess not everyone does their homework on the internet) and I have to tell them that B&O is nearly 6 months into a fix and has made little progress. I'd be a lot more satisfied if they just called it a day and refunded anyone who was interested. We knew we were getting out of phones before this product was launched and it seem that our exit couldn't come too soon.

I'm not actually selling them (no one, at least in the US, is). They've been on hold while they weave new software on their electronic looms. But we got a lot of units out the door over the holiday season before we knew the extent of the ****erage. 

(edited to get past automoderation - mika)

Any news about the problems, have they been solved ?

I've been told that the dealers got new test software!

Wich base do you use Yann

Hello,

I use Beoline 2.

At home, I also use a 1st generation BC6000 with it's own base, a wireless router and a Siemens DECT phone with it's own base.

No problems between all these devices.

Have a nice sunday,

Yann.

Hi

The purchase of a phone has been delayed for us. We will probably not buy anything for a month or two. How does it look for Beocom 5 now? is it still awful.

Sw 1.90 makes everything right.

I'm still happy🙂

Has anyone in the UK found it bearable yet? eg carried on a sensible conversation via the speakerphone?
