LG KP500 Cookie Review

I am using LGKP500. Naka 3 years na LG kp500 ko. nagun lang nagloko nung nahulog sa tubig pero madaming beses na itong nalaglag sa taas na kulang kulang na 2 meters. Napakatibay talaga nito. I lang beses ko na din itong nerestore sa factory setting kasi navivirus pero ok pa din.Nagkaron lang ng deperensya ngaun ung flex connector kasi nabasa pero nagagamit ko pa din.
MATIBAY TALAGA ITO. naitapon ko pa nga itong cp na ito pero ok pa din.

Bought this phone for my wife a few years back. great starter phone. But compared with the phones in today’s market, it is outdated.

Baket gnun ayaw ayaw mwla ung message sending failed sa C.P kuh…bakit ganun plsss Help nyo n man aku kung panu mawa2la un…ka asar kc…..

Madaming bug ang LG cookies, isa na dito ang ramdon restart, some apps causes the mobile stop working (specially the calendar). LG didn’t do anything to fix the bug, swerte mo na lang kung valid pa ang warranty mo papalitan nila ng bagong unit, at kung nawala mo ang warranty card mo, sorry goodbye sa 11K. hehehe yung LG cookie ko binalibag ko sa sobrang asar ko.

kung gusto nyo ng QWERTY and touch screen phone, wag ito. madaming iba dyan.

Kabibili ko lang noong isang linggo yung akin, ok naman siya. Pero kumpara nga sa Nokia at Samsung, less sensitive ito.

Sa ngayon, di ko naman nae-experience yung pag-hang/restart niya. Palagay ko dahil lang ata sa memory na kinakain niya. Try niyo maglagay ng malaki-laking memory card (malaki yung inilagay ko).

which one is better samsung corby or lg cookie?

guys what are trhe posiible applications that we can download to cookie?
flash player 9.0?
you tube reader?
can you provide me the list?

Hi I aquired my Kp5oo at Smart telecommunication. Much better if you buy this unit from them due to the assurance you’ll get.

isa’t kalahating taon na din ang cookie ko sa akin,,,
napagtyagaan ko naman,,,
nakapagpalit ako ng 5530
ang mlking pagkakaiba nila eh pagdating sa sensitivity,,mas mabilis ang respond ng nokia,,
ang problema naman dun sa bago ko,,kailangan ko pa ng software pr makapagedit ng pic,mkpagview ng excel,work,ppt,pdf….

I bought My own LG Cookie last january of this year,..And I can say that wala nman akong naging problem sa cp ko..d ko nman na experience yung mga bug thing 2lad nung mga cnasabi nila..I really enjoy using my phone..But I need to sell it now ksi I need some money pra may maibigay nman ako sa aking mother or some other personal reasons,kya kung interested kyo I will sell it for this prize Php 7,500 negotiable..Im from Angeles City, Pamp. complete package plus it has 8GB of memory pati yung accesories ko ibibigay ko na..You can reach me through this no.

Hello Guys! =)
I read a while ago your comments, so how’s LG Cookie?
What’s with the “RESTARTING” issue?
I am planning to buy an LG Cookie.
Do you think LG Cookie is better than Samsung Corby?

Thanks for those who will reply! =)

PS: I was robbed kasi sa may Katipunan. So I need to buy a new one, kahit di na siya Wifi ready. =( sayang pa naman dahil maraming Wifi connections sa Ateneo de Manila Univ. HAHAHA

i bought mine (LG KP500) for only 6,500.00 brand new and 1year service warranty guaranteed! ;)

the only problem (so far) that i encountered was it hangs up while taking some pictures. i tried to turn it off using the main switch but it does not work!so i decided to pull out the battery..

i hope that would be the last time. but OVER ALL, THE PHONE IS GREAT. VERY CHEAP FOR A TOUCH PHONE THINGY: the music, radio, the touch screen itself, games, messaging, etc.

IN TERMS OF CAMERA,i am quite disappointed because it seems that it is not 3.0 megapixel. it is kinda blurry and a big NO in dark places ‘coz it has no flash. But, “pwede na” especially when u have already digital camera. :)

so, buy it! it is OK :D

i have the LG KP500 phone for a year and for the rating, mga 7 lang out of 10. ok naman sana yung features nya pero lagi nagrerestart! nakakainis! sayang pa naman ung pera ko dito. :( tapos di ma-detect ng pc ko na me nakakabit na usb ng phone ko….haayyy….

HI dear this is murtaza(dear) i have nice and lovely mobile KGKP500 and that is very use ful for me but i need same software for my mobile im searching but ican not find yat dear
if some now abot that he\she can conntect me

hop some one help me

pangit ang lg cookie.. hahaha

bibili din sna ako ng cookie kya lng pano ko mlalaman na upgraded na ung software nya? pd po b papost dito ung version na upgraded na.. un b ung v10d?

off*

i bought mine last Christmas. But around June it was not working so well. It suddenly turns off when i’m sending group messages, then turns on again. i tried to look for the messages that i was about to send, in the drafts, outbox, sent items, but as if i didn’t compose a message. then one time, while my classmate was playing it, it suddenly turns off, it was a bit embarrassing. Then yesterday, someone was calling me, when i was about to answer it, my phone suddenly shuts off. But i swear, the battery was definitely full. And after opening my phone, everything changed, as if it was brand new. My settings were all lost. Such a disappointment.

I should have made a better choice.

That’s why i’m planning to buy sony ericsson t707(is it already out in the philippines?).

guyz meron akong nabasa sa isang site na sinasabi na kaya daw nag rerestart 0r namamatay is because meron xiang settings na auto off na nakaka save ng battery pero pwede mo nman daw yun alisin if u want.

hi i have lg arena and lg cookie its very beutiful

i got mine last may 28 from memoxpres MOA. not even 2 months the shutdown restart problem came in. i took it back to the store where i bought it and they had it fixed by their LG authorized service at SM MegaMall. 9days later the phone was returned to me with an upgraded firmware from V10b to V10d. they said, that will fix the issue.

not even a day of its use after the firmware upgrade, it was so funny because you cant read clearly almost everything. check this out, the icon description has either missing letters, mixed up letters, or both…haha. another thing, when you check your sms from any folders, you’ll be surpised to see the same problem. you cant even read those messages. and heres more….start composing an sms using the horizontal keyboard and you’ll find also the keys for many of its letters blank…haha…you should see these man……darn crazy displays dude.

i liked this phone a lot when i saw it from a TV ad. too bad it has problems like this.
i contacted LG online support but i think it cant help to resolve the issue. Online support is a BPO (call center agent support) and is not capable of making decisions to resolve issues like this.

for me, i dont mind getting a fresh replacement as long as they fix the darn problem right. the problem is, LG Philippines is not too supportive, i must say, they tend to be more of evasive rather.

on the day i returned again the phone to the store (MX MOA) incidentally, an LG salesman was there and i took that chance to ask the guy if there are issues on their cookie. i just thought, since that dude works for LG, he can help me get this thing elevated to the one in charge of customer issues but according to him, “its an issue that he is not even aware of. he even dont know who from LG takes care of customer issues.” hahahah…..what an absolute liar (possibly) i must say.

comming from an ISO9001 certified company and with their phlosophy of providing support and listening to their customers (you should see their web page saying these), i believe they are not keeping it up with their sworn commitment. check this out at

http://www.lge.com/ae/support/index.jsp?countryCd=ae

ok, so much for that. 3days after i took the phone back to the store (august 28, 2009) i was advised by Mega Mall MX service that the need to replace the main board. hahah….i told them, you rip the board off, that means you need to remove again a lot of screws, the LCD, the camera…etc, etc.

what the heck, i bought a brand new phone at its price. Now, i’m about to own a phone that is not even two months being used, spent 1 month of its time at a service center and guess what, the phone is torn down dissasembled many times.

i am trying to demand from LG Phils to either replace my phone to a fresh, bug free, firmware updated cookie unit. otherwise, i think i deserve a full refund.

i’ll update this comment as soon as this thing either gets ignored ore gets resolved.

stay tuned guys, hold your decisions on buying this one before you get pissed off with the same problems.

and for those who have not encountered this problem, i wish i was the same lucky guy like you who got a good unit. like you, i also like this phone even if it does not have a wifi or a lousy camera. the thing is, i still do like this phone, i just dont like the one i got. :o)
if only i could put attachment to this message, you’ll see what i meant when i said, letters from words either gets mixed up or gets missing or both….

unt l my n xt pd te…… w cth o t fo th s!

Hi everyone…Please help me with my problem..
I have an LG KP500,but I can’t received MMS..

My phone (V6 maxx) was snatched in Baguio last week so I decided to buy a new cellphone. I checked the web about cheap (below P12,000) and latest cps and found lg cookie and sony ericsson C510. I preferred SE c510 at first but when I’m in the store I landed buying LG Cookie instead at P10,000. It has the latest firmware so I never experienced the “restarting and resetting bug” as of yet. I managed to download and installed games, apps and wallpaper via mobile9.com and getjar.com and so far no problem. I was able to browse the internet but its a little expensive because of multitasking issue where in your connection intermittently log off when you leave the browser. My P100 load was gone for only 6 minutes of browsing including a couple of jar downloads.

It’s a nice cellphone and loving it. Could love it more kung merong wifi lol. Dahil plastic ang casing kailangan lang maging maingat dahil madaling magasgas. Yung camera ok naman pero di kasing ganda ng mga high end phones. Ok lang dahil meron naman akong digicam. Para lang siyang webcam na a4tech at walang autofocus. Playing sound is great. Meron siyang equalizer so pag nilagay sa rock ganda ng tunog sa earphone.

For unofficial support you can go to http://www.mylgcookie.com/.

advanatge nga pala ng cookie very multitasking
you can browse internet while texting, or while doing soundtrip or using your favorite application or kahit sbay sabay lahat un
ang tendency, pag tumagal tagal
mejo magrerestart lang naman
sa smart users hirap gamitin z uzzap dahil it would log off everytime its interrupted
so another lig in
what are the interruptions
when you recieve a txt message
pag nalobat ka
pag nagmulti task ka
just to share my xp wid cookie
quite embarrassed yet its still an amazing phone

sir please help i’m torn between cookie or 360!w/c is better?

May updated version na po kaya ng cookie kaya mahal yung iba? How can I check that? Ang susungit kasi ng sales lady eh.

Hay, gustong-gusto ko pa naman sana bumili nito kasi mura, pero nagdadalawang isip na ko, kasi heavy phone user ako. baka madaling masira sakin yung cookie. hehe. wala po bang solution para sa rebooth/format problem ng phone na to?

thanks!

I have a question.
I’m planning to buy this Cookie phone and I want to know if the phone really restarts itself and erases everything. Does it have themes? And does it have a lock/security code for my files, messages and log? I hope the one who’ll reply will be someone who has actually has a Cookie phone. Thanks :)

hmm i had my LG c0okie for a month now nvirus lng xa kya nghhang at mblis maub0s bat. pro ok xa b4 mavirus wla me msbi.. do u know how much ung earphone at san mkkbili? kc iv checked alm0st evrywer in manila en pampanga e wla p dn.. h0pe 2 hear fr0m u guyz..

Hi sa lahat.. I bought this LG cookie here in saudi 2 weeks ago and it was so nice.. Theres no problem with the firmware & no restarting problem.. It’s really works great.

LG cookie is made from Korea and unlike other phone like N…. all of them was made from china. They’re telling you that it was made from germany, finland etc as you can see at the back of the phone.. But it’s not.. It was made from china.

I’d try to make a little changes with the my phone but not really reformatting the firmware.. Changing the look ika nga.. If somebody needs some help on how to use it or some question don’t hesitate to contact me on this review and post.

san maawa po kayo touchscreen nga cellphone ko pero china phone lang sana bigyan nyo ko ng lg cookie na cellphone

guys.
tanong ko lng..

pag nag rereply ako sa messages lumabas ito:
“reply via same service center” ?

panu maalis po un?
plss..
tnx
:)

hi guys,

Well i’m glad that bugs are resolved now. Can’t wait end of this month because i will buy this LG cookie on july 1. I will change my mobile phone from N5310 to LG cookie…

Really, really cool when i watched the demo video on youtube….I think it’s really depend on a user how he maintain it…..

Can’t sleep thinking of this mobile phone … :-)

hi julyn!=)
ano, nkabili kna?
dko sure gano ka sturdy ang cookie, kaya ng ddlawang isip din ako.
but according to lgcookiegal, mukhang ok sya.
sbi kasi ng cellphone tech, try to avoid thin phones daw kasi it has thin part inside, meaning, easy to break.
i have a 2yr old se k750, wala ako masabe sa tibay, dko na mabilang ang bagsak neto, naibato kpa minsan, wala padin naging problem sa system nya. its on par with the good old nokia 3210/5110 in terms of TIBAY.=P
kaya yun ang hinahanap ko sa mga new phones ngayon.
pero sana atleast hindi kasing fragile ng mga high end cellphones ang cookie.

hi julyn!

uhm the lg cookie i have is one of the first na lumabas. yes it’s the one that has bugs. it was a gift for me this december 08. i have to say, madaming beses ko na siyang nabagsak, nabato na ng kapatid ko sa cement (of course accidental) pero it still works perfectly! haha. it’s lightweight and hindi madaling masira. promise. :) the only bug i have with mine is it resets completely. ung camera ok naman depende tlga sa lighting. im just frustrated it doesn’t carry a flash feature. but the rest it’s a really good phone. :)

nagtanong ako sa greenhills and binebenta nalng ito for only 7,500-8,000…mas mura kesa dun sa ads sa bulletin na 9,990 nlng daw because lg cookie is the best selling touch screen phone nitong first quarter ng taon…nag-iipon pa ako kaso i’m still confused kung ano ba talaga bibilhin ko…lg cookie or samsung 5230(star)which cost 10,450…help naman…salamatz!

to PRODIGAL…

havent used my cookie for 3 months na eh… cant zoom in ung videos nag.auto shutoff kgad.. such a waste talga. ok n ung mms/ gprs ko.. pero alang gana gmitin…hhmp

to JULYN:

heres the reviewof ks360
http://www.yugatech.com/blog/mobile/lg-ks360-review/

mag cookie ka nlang, wala na daw yung mga problems yung cookie, lalo na yung mga bagong labas, they already fixed the bugs…
9.6k nlang yan ngayon…

i just want to ask one more thing.

kasi i dont know what to pick between LG KP500 Cookie and LG KS360.
the two phones are both cheap. these two are only my choices because the prices is a big factor for me. can anyone help me pick between the two?

can someone also show me comparisons between the two phone so i can easily decide.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello to every one i have one KP 500 new i buy before 20 days in dubai very good candition with 11 months international warenty i want to sell in very low price only 999 AED if any body want contact me on 055 29 56 374 or safd****@****.*** and ****@****.***

my phone cant boot why its just display lg

its stylish…. it is great to use….. but tanung ku lang tatagal ba ang mga cellphone na TOUCH SCREEN…….. iphone alam ku tatagal un….. kse iphone is the first cellphone invention na TOUCH SCREEN…..

remove battery and sim then try to open again, it takes time to reboot cookie, just wait for about 30 sec without touching any keys after seeing the lg logo. Btw, what have you done from your phone before?

prodigal can you help me..asap tnx for your c0ncern!

Hi lydia,

google some java applications for your phone, i think you can find one.

Can not setup Skype,and can not watch You tube properly.
It is a very expensive gadget.
Now it is after you.
No comment.
Yves.

it had an issue of restarting and resetting before, then they released software update to get rid of the restarting issue and the calculator glitch. And the good news is, if you will buy now, i think software has already been upgraded

you should give this phone a chance,… i bought one… kasi i had my QIB and some savings from my work and one of my co-employees ask us to accompany him to greenhills to buy E63/ E71 phone.. i saw the Nokia 5800 touch screen first and dahil friend ko sya i let him nalang buy it… after 2 days i went to the mall.. i saw this LG cookie in a nearby stall then… poommmmmm… Ayun parang pareho lang kami ng friend ko “si madam red” ok namn

hat jemand ne ahnung ob bei dem handy die speicherkarte automatisch beim kauf dabei ist – wenn ja wie groß ist die speicherkarte ?
schreibt doch bitte mal.

to mangrhea, what happened to your cookie?? could you post?

wala nang restarting problem since nagupdate ng firmware. OK na OK yung speakers nya malakas pa dun sa E51 ng Nokia. Earphones are better than iPod’s.

totoo b na nagrerestart sya? mrami bang problems yung phone na to? kc dun s other comments prang ang negative nung mga nababasa ko.i’m considering na bilin ito pa naman. please help. dou you think dapat ko b syang bilin?

i have a old slither and my contract is about to run out what phone should i get ? i like the htc touch screen and the iphone which one should i get?

BETTER TO BUY 5800 EXPRESS MUSIC AND IT IS ENOUGH FOR A CHILD LIKE ME………

Now i have really second ‘tot’ on buying this phone after reading all the bug problem comments.

damn! i regret buyin diz phone na! not a user friendly tlga! hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

preferably P990i of ericson

Hmm. very nice phone! I ‘ll buy one this summer.I’ve seen it in Zamboanga City.Yap!

It would be great if they launch something that’s within the Cookie’s price point, but with Wi-Fi. The screen would really be put to good use with that.

Anyhow, I’m really in deep thought of buying one. However, seeing that the reception of the cheap touchscreen phone is good, it won’t be long ’til they launch something a little better to target yet again the budget conscious Filipino. So I guess I’d have to wait for that one ^_^

Nice one LG! Keep ’em coming.

i love it much coz i got one no problem…. my clazm8 has an i phone but rather she says, she likes my phone OMG.. LOL

the features of this phone is very practical and very affordable. im planning to have one and im still confused if i’ll buy this lg-kp500-cookie or the sony ericsson c905.

to prodigal::p

am a smart user… how? ive tried the mms on and set gprs,not supported daw ung unit… plz post the code plz tnx tnx tnx tnx tnx… waaah supah galing nang cookie…

cookie monster

I think may LG Service Center sa Pasay [Legaspi, I think] and may latest firmware sila dun. They’ll do it for free. yung address sa manual ng LG Cookie ayun yung address ng LG Service Center.

daman dude, nkapunta ka nb sa LG service center? possible kaya na kumuha ng firmware sa kanila?

I think nagrestart yung phone ko once already but after that hindi pa naulit pero yun lang and settings are still the same. Ok pa rin yung mga messages ko. But I’ll be bringing this this friday to LG customer service office para macheck na nila.

Bought it 3 days ago sa Sta. Lucia, brand new with one year manufacturer’s warranty for Php 11,000 only then add Php 500 for a 2GB microSD card. Kung hindi lang ako magaling tumawad, Php 12,000 sana kuha ko and Php 700 for the miniSD :D What a bargain, huh? :D

No need for stylus…Never used it…kapa kapa at sanayan lang sa simula tapos ok na :D
