Advantages: touchscreen, nice design, small and light, great battery life Disadvantages: touchscreen, need to be a ninja spider to text on the move, mundane features.
...was a little suprising when lg announced the nickname to their KP500 touch screen phone, however a name isn't eveything. So will this phone live up to maryland standard? or will it just end up sitting with the tesco value? (ok, i'll stop with the cookie stuff now, maybe). The first thing that strikes you when you first see the cookie is that how much it just wants you to think it's an iphone, but then you realise that infact lg has made some nice ... ...boot. It's not that the lg is bad in any way, it's just average, run of the mill, mundane. The only thing going for it really is the touchscreen, and until someone makes them bigger, texting in a way other than using an on screen numberpad is too difficult and time consuming. If i could go back and pick a phone again i would save my self about £50 and buy a nice standard nokia or sony ericsson, it gets the job done better, it just won't have a touchscreen. ...

The LG cookie- one of those attractive looking phones, that you can only imagine the amount of things it could do. Where this phone may be an attractive little number, its features are rather poor. ==First Thoughts== The phone arrived, and boy, was I excited?! I carefully removed the phone from its packaging, and got it all set up. So far so good...! However, as the night went on, I slowly began to realise that the phone I'd first considered to be ... ...to your commands, ie, horizontally for keyboard in texing, is disgraceful at times, as it does not react atall. For the price of this phone, I'd say there is definately much more phones out there, that would perform to a better degree than the LG Cookie Thanks for reading ...

Advantages: Light, compact, stylish, easy to use. Disadvantages: Qwerty key board a bit small for fat fingers
The lg cookie (KP500) is the poor mans iphone. When I felt it was time to get a new phone I thought I would look on the review sites, such as ciao and others and every site seemed to say about the lg cookie, so I scoured the net for the price and found it between £90 - £110, thought not too bad, but then on o2 it was £25 pounds a month on a 24 month contract (600 mins + unlimited texts + ps3).
When I received the phone it came with a battery, charger, ... ...and drop pictures, music, etc. also a plastic cover for the touch screen (which I am glad of as I have heard that some touch screens tend to scratch and I cant handle a case, by the time you get it out of the case they have rung of).
When I put the battery in the phone, the first thing I noticed was how light it was. When you turn on the phone you have to do two things, the first is to press a button at the bottom of the phone then there is a button ...

Advantages: nice features, nice feel Disadvantages: low battery life, poor memory for photos, see review
This is the first touch screen phone that I have ever owned, and I find it rather like my wife's nintendo ds to use, as it comes with a little pen that slides into the phone.
It has lots of lovely features, but you can get a bit lost in the navigation of the features, and if you have left the gallery feature running to view photo files, you can't use the camera until you have properly exited the gallery (but the phone allows you to navigate between ... ...me some good photo opportunities). The phone does not have a good memory, I have taken about 20 photos and it is full and won't let me take any more, I wish I had bought the extra memory the salesperson was trying to get me to buy.
My other two problems with this phone, is I find it difficult to use when calling phone numbers which require you to input number options to go to further answer menu options (ie like calling my bank, or calling Orange ...

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 ... ...as it has to be LG phones sadly.

Messages can be created in many different ways with the ability to use the built in accelerometer ...

The Lg kp 500 or the cookie as its otherwise known really is a fantastic phone. Its fully touch screen and its also quite small in comparison to other touch screen phones out there such as the iphone which is pretty big. I had to decide which phone to get when my other suddenly stopped working on me, I had always wanted a touch screen phone of some sort however I don’t use my phone too much and didn’t want to get tied into paying £40 ... ...phone in the car phone warehouse shop I was sceptical, why was it so cheap at only £97? So at first I didn’t buy it straight away, I thought id go away and read some reviews on it, all of which were pretty good. So then I decided to buy the phone online. All together it came to £107 as I had to get a £10 sim card with it too. I also bought an 8gb memory card for it for another £10 so I could put all my music on it.
Rather than the fact its ...

Review of LG Cookie KP500
Advantages: Pretty, Good battery life, Well priced Disadvantages: Can be slow to react
I have had this phone for about 8 months and I love it! It really was quite cheap at £100, and its very stylish! The only one thing I would find is that from time to time the touch screen is irresponsive, which can be very annoying to text with! And the text sometimes doesnt keep up. The phone has a few great features including double wall papers which is always good! It also has small icons you can set around the screen making it quick to get onto ... ...i went to a festival in the summer and it lasted 4 days, whilst all my friends sony ericsons ran out within 2 days max. I would advise that if you are getting this phone to use the screen protector provided, as with all LG's the screen scratches really easily and can be very annoying! I hope you like this phone! ...

Review of LG Cookie KP500
Advantages: extremely simple and easy to use, looks slick and professional Disadvantages: the camera isn't the best- only 3 mega pixel and has no flash
I've had the LG Cookie for about 3months now and I am pleasantly surprised. To be perfectly honest I originally wanted a Samsung or Sony Ericsson phone but, unfortunately my contract would not stretch to the more top of the range models. Despite my initial disappointment at receiving a 2nd choice phone, I can honestly say I am extremely happy with the performance of my phone. The LG Cookie is available in two colours- pink and black. I chose the ... ...even for me. The Cookie has a very simple menu that even my dear old nan could understand. Each menu phase has a sleek transition and you can reach your desired destination in minimal steps. The touch screen is a little weird to get used to but that is the same with all touch screens if it is your first one. There is a small stylus pen concealed at the bottom of the phone to make it even easier for people like myself who's fingers are on the slightly ...

I've found this phone to be pretty durable. Dropped it many times but barely damaged. Fairly simple to use, however the touchscreen isn't the most responsive. Although for £100 it's to be honest not bad at all. I've usually found the battery life isn't the greatest although if your the type of person that charges their phone over night before they go to sleep then it's perfectly fine. It has small internal memory so it's definatly worth buying a ... ...the reason why i bought the phone. It looks fairly simple. It's a lightweight phone which is incredibly easy to use. Sound quality isn't the greatest whilst playing music throught the speaker. The internet on this phone isn't the best but at the same time isn't a wap browser. Some webpages show up as they do on the computer, some don't. Althought the internet on this phone isn't worth using because it's extremely slow. However all in all for the ...

The lg cookie is one of the best phones ive owned. It is fun, clever, easy to use, value for money and It is on almost all the best contracts. The fun displays and the touch stylus is really inventive. I bought this phone on the orange dolphin contract and apart from the slight laggyness I have been very happy with it. Its great for texting and the music and games are really easy to use. The camera is really quite impressive however the pictures ...

The Lg cookie is a very stylish looking phone, i feel it fits nicely into your hand and the touchscreen eases typing, however this phone does seem to have some glitches, i found that scrolling through the pictures, the phones screen seems to turn blue and freeze, this seems to be a common malfunction with the LG cookies.

For the price of it it's a very good phone, it has a large screen so its easy to use and many interesting features because of the touch screen.
