Can't say much about the not unimportant physical affects of dect phones.

But mentally the BeoCom5 sent me and other owners I know to the verge of insanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you name some sources? Any academic institute?

Here there are some sources:

There are many other sources if you do a Google search

This was heavily discussed some ten years ago.

Some 'experts' found out, that there is an potential influence on the health of human beings (and animals too).

Other 'experts' did not find it that critical.

You probably won't find a final proof for any of these theories.

But who really cares now - DECT telephones ( = landline phones) are yesterday.

Nowadays it is much more interesting to find out how much influence mobile (4G...) communication as well as wifi has on us.

Since we won't be able to (or want to) 'escape it', we will have to deal with it.

Personally I would not leave an active e.g. mobile phone lying around near a small sleeping child etc.

Whatever we do, modern technology has an influence on us - there is no gain without loss..

In use, mobile phones have higher emissions than landline DECT, of course. I've also heard and read the contrary, which is not true, however.

There have been tons of studies and still no evidence that there are any effects to the human health - at least that's the best of my knowledge. Nobody knows for sure. I use corded phones; the Beocom 2000. Great phone by the way.

Cheers

No - they are not yesterday... As long as those damn cell phone Companies cannot give us 100% coverage.
I live in an area, where there are almost no coverage. I can hardly use the phone inside my home - my guests have the same problems. No matter what Company or what phone, there's very bad connection for cell phones.
And it is not like I'm living in a lonely house in the middle of nowhere. I live inside the borders of a town with around 35.000 Citizens. And we have lots of areas here in Denmark with the same problems.
I have to have a "landline phone" at my home if I want to be sure to make a call. Luckily I have a broadband fibre connection for my internet. My cell phone is always on wifi when I am at home.
Thats the reality in 2015. So please Millemissen - don't tell us that it is history... the OP stated that he has a Beocom 6000 (and so has I) - so don't tell us "who cares". Some do!
Another thing is, that I am not afraid of all those horror-stories. Yes - I rmember when cell phones "toasted" your brain. And then they did not... And when it was dangerous to eat eggs - or drink coffee or, or, or... and then it was not..! So I am not afraid of DECT phones either.

Hey - life is dangerous... We all end up dead.

I remember when I worked with a large uk phone company, we were issued with Panasonic tough books ( laptop) with GSM built in 1998-2000.

We could not use in the van due to the headaches from the unit if used wireless, the metal in the van would amplify the signal.[:\'(]

I have a Beocom 6000 near my head in bed since it came out and a Beocom 5 in my leaving room. And 5 iphones (we are a family of 5). Oh wait, 4 iphones and a Sony xperia.

So DECT is yesterday and today and I hope that it's safe.

We use a DECT phone and two wired landline phones at home - of course they are not all gone.

But you just have to check the statistics to see, that landline phoning is on the declining route - in Denmark maybe even faster than elsewhere.

And you just have to check the prices for B&O landline phones (including DECT's) on Den Blå Avis (= Ebay) to know, that landline is yesterday.

Or visit the shops of the providers - you will have to look very carefull to find landline phones there.

Luckily for us (for you and me) we still have landlines, but for how long?
