Thread: LG cookie kp500 mobile phone

LG certainly has a knack for bizarre names when it comes to mobile phones. We don't know why the KP500 is also called the Cookie, and can't begin to hazard a guess. But maybe that's not the point.

The Cookie is LG's attempt to bring a touchscreen mobile phone to the mass market. In that respect the Cookie is everywhere at fairly good prices on contract and for around £100 on Pay As You Go tariffs. If your operator of choice is Orange in the UK then you can choose a slight variant, the KP501, in either pink or silver and with slightly smaller front buttons than the original KP500 version.



Whatever option you choose, the Cookie is a neat little handset. At 106.5mm tall, 55.4mm wide, 11.9mm thick and just 89g in the hand it feels comfortable to hold and should not trouble most pockets.

The touchscreen measures 3-inches across diagonal corners and provides 240 x 400 clear, bright and sharp pixels. The usual touchscreen phone convention of three buttons beneath the screen is adhered to, with Call, End and a favourite applications shortcut doing the honours here.
