I have a Jacon Jensen phone by the bed (but it is wired..not wireless) to match the alarm clock by him!
I love B&O phones..but can't justify the expense at the moment
We have a 70s B&O phone in the kitchen though..a gift from Mother In Law 🙂

Robert, mine is non cordless too - I actually prefer non cordless home phones! Just looks 'cooler' in an odd way.

Robert,Yes that is a phone....in a box,because having a phone visible is naf whereever that one came from.
There is a company called enzer who do B+O-alike phones,not sure if they sell in the UK as I bought them in the US and wont have them for about 2 weeks.

That looks great killian bet visitors get a surprise when it starts ringing!
I have a Beocom 2000 at home, even today the sound quality is excellent the speaker phone is a real bonus I can pretty much walk round my whole flat and still talk normally

I think I must have posted before all the pics had downloaded, I can clearly see it's a phone now 😉
The B&O above is the same as mine..only mine's white !

I didn't know people still have land lines! What's the use?

I don't really use my land...
I don't really use my land line! Mobile tariff is so much better value, I guess I just have a land line to take calls if people so wish to ring that rather than the mobile/cell phone.
I'm planning on buying another phone with answer machine to replace my other phone, any ideas? May go for the other Jacob Jensen model.

that is one sexy phone...
that is one sexy phone robert I may have top trawl ebay ...again.

Henry Dreyfuss '500' phone
I own several '500' phones designed by Henry Dreyfuss. The 500 is a common phone to us now, but follow the link below to appreciate what an important advance it was in design, aesthetically and functionally.
If you look at ads from the 1950s for the '500' phone, you'll see that it was marketed in a new way. No longer was the phone just a black tool to be used for business purposes, it became a home convenience that one should have in every room, in colors ranging from red to pink to robin egg blue, used for casual conversation with family and friends.
My favorite of the Dreyfuss phones I own is deep red, manufactured in 1958. Yes, I have a cell phone that I have on me pretty much at all times--but when talking with friends, I prefer the intimate 500.

Love the 500
I still use the last phone my family rented from a baby bell. It has one end user setting, a "loud" roller on the back. It is an enviably intuitive design. A startling simplicity I wish I saw more of.
