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.co.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

HTC Advantage X7510
The cost will automatically put the X7510 out of reach for most buyers, but it does possess great qualities for business users
Jabra BT3010
It's easy to use and fits well in the ear, but controls are tiny and performance only passable
LG KC550
It's not the best 5-megapixel camera phone out there, but it's not the most expensive either
