Considering the popularity of Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones here in the Philippines, I can say that O2 phones has no match in terms of popularity. Maybe because O2 phones are not for entry level users, and usually are smart phones.

Well, anyway, another addition to these O2 phones is the new O2 Cocoon. Featuring a new design that is different from the existing O2 phones. I really don’t know why it’ s called ’ Cocoon’ , maybe because beneath the surface, is a great functionality. But hey! the aesthetic is really cool, sophisticated and pretty. Very far from the traditional ’Cocoon’ impression.

So what’ s inside the cocoon?

Beneath the white clamshell, is an MP3 player, with a huge 2GB of internal memory, which is capable of storing up to approximately 500 songs!. Take a snapshot or a video instantly using its 2 megapixel camera. A FM radio and a music player with dedicated music buttons on the side.

In the front cover, there is a hidden LED that lights up during an incoming call, which reveals the caller details. You can also preview text messages and the current time. Hmm looks like the hidden mirror effect of Sony Ericsson Z750i and Sony Ericsson Z610i.

A dock, which is called ’Nest’ is also provided with the unit. What’s really amazing about this is that, it will transform the Cocoon into an instant alarm clock, with the LED lights displaying the time all night, yes all night. Placing the Cocoon in ’ The Nest’ will simultaneously charge it.

Browsing the internet is fast and easy since the O2 Cocoon comes with HSDPA (3.5G).

It’ s already available in the UK. Availability on other countries is not yet announced.

Price: £300
