Tags: o2, alarm, dedicated, packed
We like:
Hidden LEDs; dock; alarm clock function; 3G; easy-to-use keypad
We don't like:
Screen is hard to see in very bright conditions; the design of the inside section isn't as attractive as the outside
CNET UK judgement:
We're impressed and pleased that O2 has made the Cocoon. It's different and innovative, with a very cool alarm clock function. Not everyone will like its retro design and the inside section looks a little dated, but it's easy-to-use and comes packed with features
