Not true.... it's the best paper weight B&O ever made. 😁
Honestly the worst consumer product ever to come from B&O with the most ridiculously overcomplicated way to program and get working.
Is by no means ergonomic and absolutely not intuitive.
Looks pretty though....but my beo5 is an expensive paperweight....
Beo5The only B&O product that I regret buying. Way overpriced and not at all intuitive.It could be so good but it seems that B&O have lost interest in it. If it was truly user programmable and easily able to control other devices it would be a winner.
I guess I'm a minority, beo6 and bs5 are at the top of my list
Granted, I programmed the beo6 myself.
Different strokes...

Beocom5 is THE worst product B&O I have owned. Here's why1. Line disconnects on calls2. Creates static noise on calls - such that you have to disconnect and redial - sucks when you are a conference call moderator....3. Even with no other wireless base stations for over 60'(minimum), can be difficult to hear people when the phone is 4-6' away from base station.4. Design shape is ok - not as good as other B&O phone designs5. Speaker phone is designed to be portable - yet you have to unplug it - way to pedestrian for a B&O product - why could it not have a docking base to power.On the plus points - two lines, great speakerphone, you can have many phones with shared directories and you can customize each unit e.g. Don't ring line 2 between x and y hours etc. etc,

No 1. Doesn't happen to me (lucky exception?).
no 2. Doesn't happen to me (lucky exception?).
no 3. Doesn't happen within 20 ft. distance.
no 4. I totally agree.
no 5. Good idea, but could change the pricetag.
Software version 2.40 (for base and handset)
