True to their words, LG Philippines launched today the cheapest fully touchscreen phone in the Philippines – the LG KP500 or the LG Cookie. My prediction of under Php15k was surpassed — it’s actually just Php11,900.
As expected, LG’s approach was to reach as many people in the market and give them an option to get a full touch screen phone at a very affordable price. Yes, they sacrificed 3G and WiFi connectivity just to be able to get the LG Cookie to that price.
It’s a huge gamble but if they can attract enough people with the Php12k price and get them to get used to their Flash UI interface as well as a virtual keyboard, then they could introduce a more equipped version next year (which executives say they’ll do).
For the meantime, LG is addressing an obvious gap in the market — people who are eager to try full touch screen phones but would not want to risk shelling out 20k, 30k or 40k for it.

Yah meron ako nito this is my second phone pareho sila samsung toco lite, I like this phone kasi pareholang din sa ibang touchscreen phone. Kahit wala siang wifi kasi di naman maxado ginamit yun eh. Maganda ang quality ng mp3 nito (crisps and clear) pwde karing mag email at mgsurfin,pero dgdag bill yun sa network mo dito sa US. Sleek po sia at marami ding features na katulad sa ibang phone. Meron din ayaw ko yung sms nia mahina yung pagkasend nakakairita, sa bagay di naman ako maxado ngtetex. Tawag at mga imporatanteng bagay lang. Maganda rin po yung mga images halimbawa kukuha ng Images sa computer at I download mo sa Lg cookie Oh my goshh Parang HD po maganda yung quality nia. Tapos if you use the camera sa madilim maxado di maganda yung low light apperance po. Pg sa labas ka hmm not bad. Pag ginamit mo naman ang video hmm di naman ganun ka perfect but maganda sia sa outdoor. Maraming features sa phone nato na kahanga hanga. Meron ding bagong Lg cookie 501 family po sa Lg cookie. di ko pa nasubukan but I guess Lg cookie has a good features. Meron akong dag-dag sabi nila minsan this phone would stop in a minute totoo yun pero di naman halos araw araw iba na yun. I think normal lang yun sa phone kagaya ng computer,laptop diba? simple lang gawin turn the battery out and put it back.Teka meron pa pg ng picture2x ka di ganun ka perfect ang quality but kung nag picture ka sa malapit sa light di maxadong masama yung resulta.

hi..
i was just wondering on how ur website attracts ads, and i know it involves cash, right? can i ask for assistance? by the way ur tips in LG are so helpful.. pls do send me an e-mail regarding my question. thanks..
i got the brown one..it is really a great phone..having fun with all the touch experience, my friend has an iphone, but who cares the same technology is embedded also in the cookie and everything is a blast..i couldnt ask for more..good thing it is not 3G im not wasting more money on browsing the internet, lol.. and wifi would have been great but i rather use my computer for it
yeah wer to buy?
Same question here po:) Where could I buy this phone?
i want one!!!san aq pwede bmili nito???
i gave my wife one as a christmas gift. i got the chance to tinker with it and its a decent phone. good side is it’s easy to use. not to mention its eye candy too. it can support up to 8gb micro sd cards. bluetooth works well. not sure if it supports a2dp though coz i haven’t tried it yet. downside, no wifi. video support only works for 3gp with max resolution of 320×240. hopefully they come out with update to support mp4 at least. would be better if they support xvid/divx too. the headset is average. the equalizer settings don’t help much. maybe i’ll try using in ear adapters with it to see if it helps any. i haven’t gotten to play with it a lot but i’ll keep everyone posted once i do.
Im hungry for this phone

Im hungry for this phone
lovely phone. hmmm, nice christmas gift too! ^_^
3g is also important..3g is also refers to the data speed of the phone..thats what I think
I think I love this phone coz of video ads in
http://humble-pride.blogspot.com/
this isn’t that bad. 3g is not really used naman… but wifi is important! i hope they have an upgrade model with wifi. to cater to people who needs them… but this isn’t bad at all. worth it, especially for people looking for a cheap touch screen phone that is not a chinese brand lol
it doesn’t sacrificed the accelerometer..I watched its ads in youtube..its a nice phone…not bad at all..I think it doesn’t have the standard audio jack..
