Cocooned for a week
I am a sucker for good design and engineering and the Cocoon has both - it would win a place in my design icon musem.

Ignoring all the obvious points, just get the feel of the Cocoon in your hand - it’s tactile heaven! Want engineering? I even admire the release mechanism for the battery hatch and how superbly well it fits when you replace it (no danger of it opening by accident). Enjoy keys that feel like they are built to last and can be pushed with confidence by fat fumbly fingers. Recognise that only a clamshell design gives the right protection to keyboard and screen, an then gives you a big enough handset to fit to adult ear and mouth when open. And it looks fantastic open or closed whatever your gender! Sure I hate the quiet ringtone and impossibility of turning off the music player and I could do without the O2 active key etc. But no phone is perfect and this is the best of 12+ that I have owned. I badly need a spare USB cable as I am fed up taking the one out of the cradle. Anyone know where I can get one?
