O2’s Cocoon

by Guy Brighton

The Cocoon from UK telecoms provider O2 provides a 500 song MP3, an FM Radio, a 2 megapixel camera and a video phone. Not exactly something to write home about and O2’s claim that “Ultimately, it’s one of the most advanced music phones on the market” is something to be seriously disputed. But we’ll ignore all that as we gawk at the white shell design with LCD display. The site says:

If everything was the same, life would be dishwater. If everyone liked hot food, cold showers, fast cars, slow music. We don’t want everything to be the same. That’s why we created a phone that’s a little different. Its smooth, white, outer shell is actually a screen. LEDs under the shell light up to show you who’s calling or texting, which artist, track or radio you’re listening to. And icons light up if you’ve missed a call, got a message, or the battery’s low. You can even control how bright the message is and how fast it scrolls. Place it in its Nest and the time will shine through the night…
