For me it's simple. Beocom 5 is probabaly the better phone and easier to use. the Beocom 2 is better looking. I use my landline not that often, so I don't care about the ease of use that much. Personally I would choose a Beocom 2.

Had a new Beocom 5 at home for about two weeks now - finding it works well. The big plus for us is the speaker phone - my wife works from home regularly and loves this feature when communicating with her office whilst on the PC. The look is growing on me - as I find happens with a lot of B&O equipment. I still love our Beocom 6000's, though. BC 5 integrated really well with the existing BC6000's too.

Beocom 2 every time, it is a B&O icon - it is a very lovely thing indeed.

beocom 2 is not ergonomic. its keypad is awkward(2 columns) also does not have backlight and its shape is tiring to hold at longer phone conversations.

.....and diffucult to lodge between your head and shoulder when you need to use your hands.

The Beocom 4 and 6000s are my pick, both easy to use and you can attach a headset if you need one.

Best looking one for sure. What I would choose.

Interesting some users prefer Beocom 5 to the 2 as I will be needing one for upstairs maybe the choice could be 5 for downstairs and 2 for upstairs !

Keypad on the 2 is not an issue once the number is in the memory. And it is indeed a lovely thing.

BeoCom 2 is the most beautiful and the most ergonomic when held correctly. I agree that numbers aren't an issue as you're dialing mostly from the phonebook or caller id.
