Having read the user guide, I really like the features and way of operating the phone, you can even choose to mute the AV sound, rather than turning volume up or down, you can even choose to mute the picture, and the speaker unit is mobile, which was one of my concerns.

However, I can't help wondering why it can't be hooked to an Earset 1 kit, like other DECT BeoComs? All others can, and when talking to someone for an hour, this is very useful and convenient. The Earset 1 is simply not listed in the accessories list , and there is no connection for it on the phone..🙁

Regarding UK pricing:

Handset £265

Speaker Base £150

Charging Base £70

PSTN2 £155

The PSTN bases are becoming a knightmare - You had the built in ones which were part of the BC6000 + BC2 bases, then you had the large flat model (which I call a Mk1), then the smaller Beoline (which I call mk2).

I too would like to know eaxctly was functionality is lost when connected to a Beoline (current small PSTN base). It seems a step backwards to make the new base BC5 only. I may get a BC5, but will miss out on its best feature as I won't get a new base as my current 2x BC6000 setup is good, and I can't afford to get 3 new BC5 handsets + new base.
