Great Phone
I have only had the Cookie 2 days and I think it's a great phone, no problems what so ever with the phone but the software is not brilliant, when I try to link the phone to my laptop it says 'camera conflict' if i then turn the phone camera on then off again everything works and I am able to transfer files to and from the phone. I don't make a lot of calls and so far the battery level has not dropped from full. The touch screen takes a little getting used to after a button phone and there is a knack to it but it doesnt take long. The camera takes good photos in decent light but has no flash. Not tried video yet. I used 'total video converter' to convert a youtube film to mp4 and transferred it to the phone which it played in fairly good quality. I fitted a 1gb memory card no problem. Great design easy to use, all round good phone.

WOW
I can't believe how much you get for your money! I was a bit pessimistic about having a touch screen but now i have one it's great! This is the most easy to use phone i've ever owned hence the 5 stars.
Description of Sim Free LG KP500 Cookie - Black:
Why Buy?
- Sleek and lightweight
- Big 3'' inch touchscreen display
- 4 great games
- Micro SD slot upto 16GB
- Stereo FM radio with RDS
3" Full touch screen
The 3.0 inch wide full touch screen is more screen “real estate” to better enjoy watching videos, playing games, and looking at photos. Bigger is better and that also makes it easier to use by physical touch since larger icons are easier to navigate than smaller ones.
Active flash UI
The user interface is so intuitive that users will want to explore and master all of the functions and features of the LG-KP500. The UI allows users to access menus easily and shift around other menus simply and quickly with just one touch.
Handwriting & Editing
The easy-to-use smart handwriting recognition function of the LG-KP500 allows users to send text messages without using the touch keyboard. It is possible to write in complicated languages such as Chinese. In the photo mode, users can easily edit their photos with the stylus pen.
Motion sensor game
Using advanced motion sensor technology, the LG-KP500 adds more fun interactivity to games so users can enjoy mobile entertainment in a more dynamic and exciting way.
The games loaded on the LG-KP500 use a motion sensor that requires the user’s eye-hand coordination to balance, flip, shift, and twist the handset to play the games.
Auto rotating display
The QWERTY onscreen keyboard slides into view when the LG-KP500 is held horizontally, and the auto rotating display always shifts images or documents for proper viewing no matter which way the handset is turned.
Embedded stylus pen
Since the stylus is embedded in the handset, the user instantly write a memo or edit a photo without having to search around for the stylus pen which often gets lost or misplaced.
The appearance of the phone is not sacrificed with the embedded, artfully "concealed" in the handset.

Affordable touchscreen phone |
| What we think? |
Attractive and relatively cheap, but too feature-deficient to be an iPhone killer |
| We like |
Slim design; good photo viewer |
| We don’t like |
Lack of 3G; lack of 3.5mm headphone jack |
| Accessories |
microSD memory card, spare battery. |
| CNET.co.uk judgement |
If you're on a tight budget and you love the idea of having a touchscreen phone, the LG Cookie KP500 is definitely an option. Having spent some quality time with it, our only concern is it doesn't offer enough features that stand out from the crowd. While making it cheaper, that fact also makes the KP500 much more boring than other, more expensive, touchscreen phones |
