Amazon.com Product Description Designed to allow more people to experience a taste of touch technology at an attractive price, the LG KP500 Cookie is packed full of advanced features usually found exclusively in premium full touchscreen handsets. Its easily accessible multimedia features--available through widgets as well as shortcut icons--provide a fun and easy mobile experience with a single touch of its 3-inch screen. It comes with a stylus that tucks away in the back of the phone and features easy-to-use handwriting recognition. 
The affordably priced LG Cookie offers user-friendly touchscreen technology, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth stereo music, and MicroSD memory expansion. |  | You'll be able to capture still photos and video clips on the go thanks to the 3.2-megapixel camera, as well as enjoy advanced gaming thanks to the touchscreen and the Cookie's motion sensor technology. Other features include Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion, digital audio player, stereo FM with RDS capabilities, access to personal email with a document viewer, and over three hours of talk time. Unlocked Phone This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. Phone Features The Cookie's large 3-inch touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels, 256K colors) provides an optimized interface for all forms of multimedia content, and its rotating display automatically shifts from narrow to wide mode and vice versa according to the contents and your position. The large screen size and excellent color depth make it ideal for watching movies, taking pictures, browsing the Internet, and creating and editing drawings and documents. The Home screen menu from LG's Flash user interface (UI) provides quick access to your calendar, alarm clock and digital audio player. The optimized QWERTY keyboard, which automatically comes out when the screen is in wide display mode, enables fast and easy input for email and text-messaging. With the Cookie's handwriting recognition, you can write and draw on messages or background pictures taken with the phone's camera, as well as send text messages without even using the virtual keyboard. It's also great for realistic gameplay thanks to the embedded motion sensor technology, which recognizes your hand movements and reflects them in the game itself. The Cookie includes a small 48 MB internal memory, which can be expanded via optional MicroSD memory cards up to 8 GB in size. The internal phonebook can store up to 1000 contact entries (each with 15 fields for storing multiple numbers, email addresses, IM handles, and more), as well as up to 500 text messages, 500 memos, and 500 to-do items. It also features support for caller groups and picture/ringer ID, display of the 40 most recent dialed/received/missed calls, and compatibility with both MP3 and polyphonic (64-chord) ringtones. This phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1 + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR)--which makes pairing with the included headset, as well as other Bluetooth devices, a snap. And with the embedded A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones or other compatible devices. The 3.2-megapixel camera offers six resolution options (320x240 / 400x240 / 640x480 / 1280x960 / 1600x1200 / 2048x1536) as well as a 2x digital zoom.

In addition to still photos, the Cookie can capture video clips in two resolution options (176x144 / 320x240, 12 fps).

Amazing little phone (especially for the money) July 27, 2010 Victoria Bloch (Los Angeles, CA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered this phone when my beloved but ancient Treo finally died. I didn't want to extend my contract with my carrier to get a phone I didn't particularly want, so went the unlocked route. The Cookie stood out quickly, for its look, functionality, and price.
I am very, very impressed. It's nearly weightless. The design is sleek and beautiful. The screen is huge, bright, and clear. Sound quality is good. There's a handy button on the earphone cord that allows me to answer or hang up without touching the phone. Texting is easy, particularly once I turned off interpretive typing and discovered the landscape keyboard. The stylus is neatly integrated into the frame, although since I have small hands, I don't always need it (someone with larger hands will find the stylus essential).
It has a slew of applications and utilities I haven't yet explored - calendar, memos, music player, FM radio, video, voice recorder, etc. I'm sure they will work well, given how efficiently the basics operate.
All in all, this phone is great looking, has a lot of attractive features I wouldn't expect in such a reasonably priced phone, and I'm delighted with my purchase!
Not a text-friendly phone, but good for the price July 26, 2010 Jeffrey Hwe (Los Angeles) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I, like many others who have written a review, chose this phone because it is very cheap for a touch screen. The first thing I like about the phone is that it is really, really, really light weight. It has a good solid feel to the palm and won't suffer that much cosmetic damage. The phone came with a screen protector so that was nice.
I didn't want to spend more than a $100 dollars because all I do is text and call people. With that said, if you do not use internet or don't have a data plan, then this is an okay phone. If you do use a data plan, don't even think about buying this phone, it only uses the Edge network and not 3G. The phone came with a pre-installed firmware version 'KP500AT-V10F'. This firmware is pretty damn slow, so I had to flash the phone to the V10G_00 version. All the tutorials can be found on forums or youtube, just search it. With the new firmware, the texting is 10x better and overall speed in navigating through folders is much better as well. SO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE IF YOU GET THIS PHONE! In addition, a huge con is the amount of confirmation popups whenever you change something. For instance, trying to delete your text messages would follow this order: 'Delete selected?' ----> 'Deleting..." ----> 'Deleted'. That is really annoying and unnecessary. The call quality is pretty good, and it's bluetooth ready.
The camera is okay when there is a lot of light, if there is no light, the image quality is similar to the 'sepia' effect, yeah, its that bad. Overall, I am satisfied with this phone due to the call quality and price, but the biggest cons are definitely the initial firmware, the processing speed, and lackluster camera quality. As for music, it is loud, but who really uses their phone for an mp3 player. The phone also holds 500 total texts, 250 in inbox and outbox, more or less. All in all, if you don't want to be frustrated with the phone's speed, then update the firmware right when you get it.
wonderful budget international phone July 24, 2010 Quyen Tang (Seattle, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this cellphone for my sister to replace her ZN5 and she likes this one way better than her old one. the touchscreen is quite responsive, there are seldom slow downs, the games are decent, camera works fine and the battery life is great. The best part about this is the fact there are so many language options (funny how there isn't any japanese but I guess the japanese don't get to have the option since they have such nicer phones over there anyways) They even have vietnamese on this phone, which was a pleasant surprise for my family. since, go figure, we're vietnamese.
sleek, simple and affordable. July 23, 2010 Ravi Chinnathambi (Coimbatore, TN, INDIA) I bought this phone as a backup but proved to be a good one.
It is sleek, simple to use and affordable.
I gives value for the money you spend. For any one who hasn't used touch phones,
I am sure this will prove to be an excellent phone at the entry level.
It sits quietly inside your pocket and doesn't make your pocket bulge and look ugly.
On the performance side, I am happy with the signal reception and audio quality.
But when you are on the phone for a longer time, it heats up your ears.
However, if you are conscious and use ear phones, then it is a good decision to buy this for around $100.
Being an unlocked phone, it could be used world over wherever there is a GSM service provider.
This makes it a better phone to own and to present.
