The LG Cookie is the cheapest fully touchscreen phone on the market at this time. With its fully functional touch screen to rivals all of the more expensive phones even the iPhone. The LG Viewty is the last cheap touch screen phone from LG and one major problem that people said was that it does not have somewhere where you can easily store the stylus for the screen, it may sound petty and unimportant but it sure makes a difference when you can store it in a slot at the bottom. The 3.0 megapixel camera on the KP500 allows you to take some very impressive pictures as you can get higher quality on the phone than you can on many older digital cameras. You can also take videos with this phone making it very versatile if there is something you want to remember. Sadly in this phone you only get an internal memory of 47MB so you can not fit a large amount of pictures, videos and games. But you can fit up to a 4GB micro SD card allowing you to fit a large amount of music and other things on it. Playing music could also not be simpler due to the easy use of a widget which allows you to play and pause your music from the home page. And the easy volume controls allow you to easily turn your music down so you don't annoy people on the bus next to you. Headphones are included with the phone as it has to be LG phones sadly. You can view a variety of different documents including word, pdf and excel, this allows you to easily put nots down on your phone. There are four touchscreen games already built in to this phone, and there are multiple sites which have java games that you can download and put down on to the phone memory via the usb data cable. Messages can be created in many different ways with the ability to use the built in accelerometer you can bring up a full QWERTY keyboard which is best used with the stylus and makes texting very fast in some cases. Then there is handwriting recognition which is quite slow as it has to be one letter a time. You can also create emails which allows you to do your work on the go. There are not many downsides to the Cookie the only disadvantages are the lack of internal memory card and sometimes the screen is slow to react but otherwise at a price of around £99 it makes it much more affordable than the LG Renoir or iPhone but still has all of the finesse.
