Beocom 5 quality in general

Looks like there is still quite a lot of improvement going on. But good to hear that software releases now seem to roll out more often.

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.

Hello again

Some time ago I wrote in this thread. After we had tried all of the B&O phones, we finally bought the Beocom 6000. We did like the look of the Beocom 5 but the buttons were to difficult to hit, at least with my fingers.

We are very satisfied with the phone. Our old phone was a Uniden from the end of 1980 (I think) with stand by time for at least half an hour :-)

It is almost amazing with a phone that we do not need to charge for one week. Modern things can be nice sometimes.

I just thought you wanted to know what we finally decided.

We also opened another zone with two beovox speakers in the ceiling and one third speaker that already was in our bathroom (unused before). Now that floor is complete concerning sound.

Have a nice evening
