Interestingly, I received the following pic in an email from B&o...

Same pic as the OP, but with the phone either shopped out, or a second pic taken without it...

I think it was shopped out after this thread started, making the OP a great spot!

 

Hi Jeff,

As another thread is now showing the Beocom 5 in the N American Catalog(ue) maybe the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at B&O !

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...

For a US customer, this is all extremely confusing.  The "English" manual available on bang-olufsen.com makes reference to a BeoLine which might indicate they refer to the US Beoline, but I suspect _not_, and refers only to the Euro-Beoline.

Why?  Because when the manual lists handsets that are compatible with Beoline 2, it does not list Beocom 1, which is ... a two-line cordless.  It is what I have.

My US-Beoline for Beocom 1 is a two-line box... which is not compatible at all with US-Beocom 6000 Mk1.
