Bang and Olufsen Beocom 2 Gets a Little Color

Here’s something that no one on your holiday shopping list needs in the slightest: a gigantic,  aluminum phone by an A/V company notorious for ultra-expensive, high-end offerings. You’re probably thinking ‘that SOB is so giant it will never fit in my pocket’. But luckily, it doesn’t have to–it’s a cordless phone meant to tap into your landline. You know that ugly little jack in the corner of the room that hasn’t been functional for five years or so. Time to get it juiced back up so you can take advantage of this inexplicable waste of Bang and Olufsen’s time. Even knowing it’s a cordless, it’s still outlandishly giant and awkward.

While the Beocom  has been around for a few years, Bang has pulled out the stops and is offering seven colors: blue, black, grey, yellow white, bright red, and natural aluminum for this holiday season. So now whatever unlucky sap gets this puppy wrapped in red and green can enjoy a little extra flair with his utter embarassment. Oh, and the Beocom 2 was once rated the worst phone ever made. Season’s greetings! [B&O via TechFresh]
