    If you get one, you will get very confused every time you answer the phone... look at Navdeep's reaction in the latest episode! :D

    One of the most ridiculous telephones I've ever seen.

    I suppose it's "modern art".

    Call me old-fashioned, but I don't see what's wrong with a phone that looks like a phone and acts like a phone, rather than a perplexing fat banana.

    Anyway, a quick google tells me it's a Bang & Olufsen BeoCom 2- there's a few on ebay here-

    I think they look absolutely horrible! Not only that but they appear to be very impractical to me, too.

    Give me a GPO 746 every time !!!

    It's not a question of "on trend". I don't dislike that phone because it's "on trend" or "modern", but because I think it looks completely daft, not to mention impractical.

    You're welcome :)

    If you want the item this much, maybe you could buy one from the US? The shipping fees shouldn't be too prohibitive, and I think you can buy a transformer to adapt US electricals to the UK power supply.

    Alternatively, perhaps you could email Bang & Olufsen directly- I expect they'd try and help you out if it means making a sale. And remember to haggle for a discount, or you'll get a roasting in the boardroom ;)

    I don't get why a multi-million pound house has a single phone.

    Don't they know you can get 4 DECT phones for £100 from Argos?

    It looks like something you should buy at Ann Summers.

    But then they couldn't have a shot of one of the kids running downstairs in their jammies, and then waking the rest of them up, and all of them getting themselves tarted/ponced up in 20 minutes flat (including ironing shirts).
