It was when I asked my dealer to upgrade it a couple of weeks ago. Also, the 2.3 update contained almost nothing significant over the previous 2.2 software, so perhaps they've fixed every outstanding issue? Even 2.2 only had a couple of fixes (albeit one being a major fix - the speakerphone issue).

is there allready a higher software version?

Good point, I forgot to ask my dealer (they told me the 5 Dec). Mind you, what are the chances B&O met that release date? :)

I'll ask my dealer tomorrow, if I get time.

Currently the latest software for BeoCom5 is 2.30

BeoLine software is 2.10

They are still working on the problem handset lost connection with the base.

it's a shame....

Koning, the long-awaited Beocom 5 v2.4 software update will be released 17 December. My dealer has already booked an appointment to update our Beocom 5s on the 30 December, so pretty confident that the update will be available by then.

Thx moxxey

Nothing is released.

Beocom 5    New software 2.4 available.

Prepared for new RF HW (BeoLine 2) Can anyone tell me what this means

Means that they will change some chips in the Beoline, maybe add some functionnalities, or just make change to some details on the transmission protocol, so the Beocom handset is already ready for the "new" Beoline.

Has this something to do with the well known problem _Loss of base connection_??

Yes, very interesting. I wonder if they realised that software improvements weren't enough to fix that problem....so they are bringing out an improved base? I wonder if we can get it swapped out under warranty?

I was on an important conference call to the US this afternoon and, surprise surprise, the Beocom 5 cut out on the call. Embarassing. Luckily we can blame it on international lines or something, but using Skype is now more reliable than our Beocom 5 landline!

the Beocom 5 cut out on the call

Was that with the new Sw 2.4?

erm, no! It was only released today? :)

I'm talking about the new Beoline above. A new version with improved RF sounds like they've upgraded the frequency to stop the cut outs.

Sorry to hijack an old thread and start talking about B&O products produced in Denmark, but...

Since the most recent Beocom 5 s/w update, our Beocom 5's are like different phones. Much improved. Sound quality is improved and flawless, crackles have completely been erased, no cut-offs nothing.

Quite frankly, the Beocom 5 is now 10/10 in our eyes.

how can i check what software my BeoCom 5 has?

to my mind, its a piece of junk...poor sound quality, loss of connection to base etc etc) - the most disappointing B&O equiptment i bought

Not using sw 2.4. Sound quality can't be bettered, the loss of connection (as we've discussed above) was fixed in sw 2.4 and it's much improved.

If you want poor sound quality, buy yourself a BT portable phone!

 Loss of connection to the base still happens

I've not had a single loss of connection since 2.4.

Koning, did you get your Beoline base updated? I took mine to my dealer, along with my Beocom 5's and my Beoline had really old software. Since that was updated (along with the Beocom 5s), I've not had a single lost connection, so far.

Sound quality and everything has improved. But I think this is due to the really old Beoline software which we forget needs updating.

The base and the handset were both updated to Sw.2.4

Maybe a new beoline will solved all the problems         Prepared for new RF HW (BeoLine 2)
