Wow!
Looks really good in the base! If I'd use it, I would get one, but I barely use my BeoCom 6000.

I just wanted to say that I think B&O (not you) probably did a Typo, and that hopefully 52 inches is not the real dimension of the Beoline...

A typographical error (often shortened to typo) is a mistake made in a printed material.

We're not asking for a grammar check here Phil. A typo can apply to any written words, including a forum posting. I was asking whether I'd made a typo in my post.

I hope it's 5.2" wide. That would make more sense. Anyone know?

I do not believe (and really hope) that the Beoline really is 52 inches wide!!! More likely to be 5.2 inches wide or something like that.

Oh each to their own, absolutely i agree. I just don't see this as anything different than what's already on the market for a tenth of the price. Are you going to buy one moxxey?

Not so sure now. I was. However, I can't hide that BeoLine 2, even at 52cm. Plus, I don't know how well it will integrate with my other B&O phones, which could be a problem.

Beocom 5 needs a 'BeoLine' which is nearly a metre wide

We can safely assume this is a typo!

What's a typo? Are you referring to the width of the BeoLine 2?

I can't figure from their specs if it's 52cm or 52" - they refer to both in the same document ;) Irrespective of that, 52cm is still way too big.

Who on earth is going to buy this? I'm sorry, but i can not see it.

Yeah, but each to their own. Whereas I like the design of he Beocom 5, I can't stand the look of the BeoTime. Others love it. I think it's awful!

Mind you, if this Beocom 5 needs a 'BeoLine' which is nearly a metre wide, they can forget it. What's the point of that? Even cordless phones in 80s shipped with a smaller base.

Boring. Not a typical B&O design.

Is this the future? Have they finally cracked under all of the critisism that they are a 'form over function company'?

the data sheet says the beoline2 is an enormous 52cm wide!

Maybe it has a PC built in to it?

Looking the the specs....isn't it 52" (inches) or 132cm?! That can't be right? That would be absolutely crazy?

I think that with the BeoMaster 5 moving to a slimmer form factor we have to do something with the unused cases!
