my boyfriend and I have had this phone for just over a month and i have a few questions..can anyone help???
Is there a way I can change the message tone to something other than the pingy one the phone comes with??

Also how come when i get a new text message and it appears on my screen...when i go to open it why does it open the last read message in my inbox and leave the new one unopen??? This is getting quite annoying and happening more frequently!!

Thanx

oh my god, this phone has given me nothing but grief. i've never had an o2 phone before, and if the others are anything like this one then i definitely won't be getting another on when i get my upgrade.
i got this phone on an upgrade and even upped my tarriff to 35 quid a month, and it's nowhere near worth it. it was amazing for the first couple of months but then it had a mind of it's own. it's saving grace is that it looks fantastic, and the blue clock on the front is really cool.
i have had to send this phone back 4 times in total, and everytime it does the same things wrong and drives me insane! it plays music whenever it wants, even in the middle of the night when it's on silent and i havent pressed anything! the messaging tone doesnt work sometimes so i don't know when i've received anything. it cuts me off during phone calls, plays LOUD LOUD random songs from my mp3 when i open the phone, even if i've put the "lock" on, and at the moment it's enjoying not charging, so i spend most of my time fiddling about with wires and blowing the plug in the hope that it'll charge. the battery power is also awful, even though i charged it properly when i first got it.
it freezes, crashes, and also wipes my text messages. i can't wait to be rid of it, it's driven me mad!!!!!

Had the phone since November. Biggest mistake was getting it on contract. Phone is nice to look at but to use it is diabolical. Signal comes and goes, music player holds loads of music but to hear it you need to listen carefully. The phone is tempremental and does what it wants. Cant wait for contract to end to get rid of this phone for good.

nice phone,

Mr.Becca ,,,
if the battery is less than 20% or 10%, it will not charge from laptop or PC, only direct to AC.

I've been usin the Cocoon for 6 months and lemme assure u tat theres nothin u're missin here.. I had a Sony Ericsson before dis and wuz amzed wid the way it performed.. and the funny bit is tat the Cocoon is waay more expensive than wat its worth ! i got bored wid it in less than 2 weeks time !! The only great bit is when someone new drops by and asks "WOW !! Wat is tat thin u're holdin !!"

Sonia, you can buy this phone from the 02 shop the handset is £59.99 but if u pay buy cash you will have to pay an extra £20 for top up but if you pay by debit card you only have to top up £10, but if u already have an 02 sim tell them, then tell them your number then you only have to pay £59.99 thats what i did and believe me its more than worth it.

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

Nemore questions afshan-ali123@hotmail.com

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.
