I've had this phone for a few weeks now and I absolutely LOVE the thing. With that said, the unfortunate part is that I get absolutely NO signal in my house with it, which has forced me to switch back to my previous phone. The phone gives you a nice feeling when you hold it and the menu style is attractive. My only little pet peeve is the lag time. oh! and also, I have really small hands and when texting, it is kinda hard to hold with one hand and text. At the end of the day, I still look at the phone and get a huge smile on my face. I love the thing.

I think this phone is brilliant especially with the 2gb internal memory, not only that i bought a 2gb memory card so in total i have 4gb i can store up to 1000 songs AMAZING!!!!!!!
But when i bought this phone(yesterday) it comes with a instructions booklet but what use is it if theres no instructions and for a music phone it could be louder u can barely hear it. The charger isn't like any other normal chargers u have to fit it on i mean a charger is to plug in straight away not fit it. The phone is sometimes to slow like if u want to hear music it takes time too load. Those are the moans and groans from me but other then that it is really quite a good phone especially for memory, so out of ten i'll give it a 7.

I'm fine with the slow sms. But I hate the short sms tone limitation and the soft volume on both the dual speakers and earphones....... Why market it as a music phone when it can't be heard?

Hate the buggy firmware, for example when you press menu it jumps to the dial menu with a digit. Or when you select profiles, it jumped to music player.

If O2 can solve these problems with a firmware upgrade...

to change alarm sound, go to menu, clock and alarm, press down, set alarm to any time, then save. Then click options, wake up sound and change the alarm tone. After this turn the alarm off againa nd its done!

For the Password - if you mean phone lock - try 1234 or 0000

No you can't buy any outer skins i THINK

No external java software works on this phone always an error, only stuff download from o2 wap works

George, plug the phone into a comp or chrger and try turning on

Finally Litzi, dont use the nest when connecting to comp via usb. Therefore u can flip the screen open and choose the "music player" option so the cocoon appears on wmp

My mum bought this phone for me about 2weeks now and its really cool, but am presently finding it difficult to get softwares for it. Or is it that the phone does not accept softwares? Please help out, any useful tip would be appreciated.

@ george : Just used it about 2 days but I'm sure you can change the mess alerts, you can find it in profile. The only one thing I don't know how to change is alarm sound ^^

And sync this phone with WMP is very easy, I don't have any prob with it ^^ Music sound really good even not loud enough.

I have had this for about a year and it keeps freezing when i try and delete messages and it also randomly deleted all my inbox which was annoying and it also only lasts 1-2 days on charge and the menu colour is quite bland.

Ive been ripping my hair out for hours now! Okay its a nice little phone, looks unique & different, The lights on the cover are wicked BUT how the ******* hell do I put music on it from my PC!! Honestly Ive been trying to figure it out for hours, I try to sync it on media player but it wont find my device even though Ive connected it! I got this phone because others have said the music good, alot of memory but its abit useless if I cant put music on it dont you think?

I am considering this phone but after reading reviews, now have mixed feelings. My last phone-Sony Ericsson w810i was awful-couldn't install the software to play any music & the radio function died early on also. Hated it. I don't want similar problems with my new phone. Also, am worried about dropping it as one reviewer said it scratches easily? Any feedback on these queries please?

2 evry1 out there hu dont know how to put music on the o2 cocoon listen in.
plug in the usb cable but dont worry about using the cd to install stuff only install it if yu is going to backup stuff like messages/contacts etc. Then when the found hew hardware wizard has installed evrything( only insert the cd if prompted to, if not prompted then DONT!) open windows media player, click on sync and the o2 cocoon icon shud be in the top right.
if any1 has any other questions feel free to add me on msn or email me at:

Hi there!
On O2 Pay As You Go you DONT get charged for answering the phone...... the only time you get charged for this is when you are using your phone out of the UK :)
