Just received a newsletter from (one of) my dealer(s).
The Beoremore One is now for sale.
1995 DKK engraving inclusive (if you want it).

There is a tv - and there is a BV
I have been using the One for months now and I get annoyed every time I use my bedroom TV now that has the Beo4 (going to change it soon probably). I like some things about the 4 more than the one but also the other way around. I wish there was more tactile feel on the buttons of the one. And that the front edges was smoothed down because they are VERY sharp. I have cut myself several times on them. I like the illuminated screen on the Beoremote one and that it is lighter.
Beolab 50, Beolab 8000 x 2, Beolab 4000 x 2, BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)
I used the One for the first time last night and coming from the Beo4 it was a jarring experience, it is virtually impossible to use while not looking at it (or in a darkened room) with the way all the keys just run into each other & not split into sections, the lack of illuminated keys is also a real let down.
If they had put a small bump on the '5' key it would of helped navigate the numeric keys.
But the screen is nice & it's really easy to configure the TV & Music lists, altho renaming an option could become tedious after a while with the really small scrolling keyboard, but here there are some predefined options, like scrolling to 'A' brings up the likes of AppleTV, 'S' brings up Sky etc.
I'll have to get used to it because my Beo4 went with my old BV7. Oh well...

First thing I asked (at BeoCare) after the Avant launch was, if the Avant can be controlled with the Beo4.
The answer was: Yes.
There are pros (really good ones) and cons (quite a few) with this new remote.
It is designedto be looked at when handling.
Don't know if I can get/want to get used to that despite the pros.
Some people like it - some don't.
Others just get used to it.
Michael: Great to not have the joystick too.
That is the 'thing' I would miss most, if I would ever swap!

Räuber has greasy fingers
A quotation from the Flatpanels test:
"We had feared that such an aluminum design would easily get scratched after a few weeks of use, but that was actually not the case.
The One still looks neat and polished at the time of publication.
Anodizing aluminum is after all one of the Bang & Olufsen’s trademarks."

I am only buying this remote if they make a dark grey or black version. To much naked aluminum for my taste...
BeoVision Eclipse 55, BeoPlay S8 (sub+rears), BeoPlay A9 MKII (living room), BeoVision Avant 32 DVD (retro gaming, basement), BeoLab 4000 (entertainment room, basement), BeoSound 8 (workshop), 2x BeoPlay S3 (PC), BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay H2/H3 (on the go)
I am sure there will be some more colours coming.
After all that is an 'expert thing' in Struer.
Hi MM. One can hope it will turn out that way. I love the aluminum as a material but no so much for the actual "colour". I think it can be too dominating and too much "show off". I like it subtile - you must feel the quality rahter than see it... Maybe it is just me.

Join the club then, Yendys
Yendys:No not just you at all I hope they go crazy with colours like they have with the H6. That way you could have different coloured remotes for different rooms

BeoNut since '75
After using the Beoremote One, I have to say that the Beo 4 does feel much better due to its wider body and bigger weight. The Beoremote One does not feel as ergonomic in my hand as the Beo 4. It would be nicer to transform the innards of the One into a 4.
as a matter of interest how many euros is the new remote
my dealer no info yet
malcolm
I think it's the same price as a Beo4

Michael:Don't forget it is available in steel. My retailer suggested the remotes without tv might be steel and the other ones aluminum but might be a free choice as well.
1995 DKK = 268 €
elephant:Still can not be purchased as a separate in Australia.
Not here either...
KMA:Preliminary response from my dealer was "no", Beoremote One is not available yet. I'll get more info on Monday. I'm beginning to think that one of Millemissen's dealers "jumped the gun" in their newsletter. Dealerwise, it wouldn't be the first time, re: BR One. If Beoremote One is available in Denmark (and nowhere else), I'll drop by in Copenhagen.

Here in the US they have a special display in the window in some stores.
So I guess it can be ordered. Can not be bothered, am holding my breath for an audio system that i actually want. Till then, playmaker and iphone itunes remote.
