Ohhh look so nice...must have

For me the best bit seems to be that it's cheaper than the BeoCom 2 and has the advantage of the loudspeaker, so I am definately interested :)

My dealer told me the Beocom 5 is not going to support ISDN. If that's true, it's a dealbreaker for me.

It can be but not the twin line facility. There is a new Beoline designed to get the most out of it - Beoline 2 - but it will work with slightly fewer features with both Beoline and Beoline PSTN.

Is BeoLine 2 the newer, 'rounder' PSTN base (http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=1235) or a totally new product? If so, is Beoline 2 compatible with BeoCom 6000 Mk II (with earset connectivity)? Would be interesting as I plan to upgrade my older, rectangular PSTN base...

Hi,

I think this picture is less blurry..However, I'm not sure I like the design, it looks a bit conventional & handset seems very "plasticky", however the features could make me replace my BeoCom 4..wait and see!

It is a new product - it can work with older handsets but this removes some of the functions. Equally the Beocom 5 will work with the older bases, but again some new features are lost. This seems sensible as it allows a bit more flexibility with phone types for domestic users but allows a fully featured office set up as well.

I like.

Release date : early november

Price : around 600€ with base

At launch, no possibility to get the handset only (without base), but surely it will be possible soon enough

The speaker/mic of the base seems to be incredible : ability to have a decent conversation from one corner of the room with the speaker at the other end... Seems promising.

I Love it !!!!
