Beocom 1 is the greatest telephone ever made. When it rings, it lights up so you can answer it or save it or re-dial it or delete it. When making a call, you can either dial it or select it from your saved numbers or from your re-dial numbers. So easy to use. I have 5 of these phones throughout my home and only really use 3 of them so I decided to sell 2 of them. When you receive this phone and the charger, Bang & Olufsen recommends charging it on the charger for 48 hours and then connecting to your own base. This works perfectly, is in B&O's rare blue color, and can also be used for conference calls and many other features.
