Unboxing the LG Cookie KP500

LG Mobile sent over their newest and most affordable touchscreen phone last week — the LG KP500. Brought it with me to Germany along with the E63 but unfortunately I forgot the charger. For now, let me share some more additional photos I took along the way.

Actually, the rest of the unboxing photos were left on my PC back home.

So far, from the limited use I’ve had, the phone is light and sized just enough to handle with one hand. It comes with a stylus too at the bottom end but it’s a bit short. The review will have to wait until I get back home and re-charge the phone.

    Hi y’all :)

    Dis fone sounds too good to be true..

    I asked a saleslady abt lg cookie and she said that the available keypad is not QWERTY, but when i searched for its specs in the website, QWERTY daw, prang ang gulo.
    den i asked for a flier and magulo din ung mga specs na nakalagay, so ngdadalawang-isip ako if i would buy this fone, over nokia 5800?

    I really need help and advice from a pro (abt pros and cons of buying lg cookie). is dis fone really worth its price?

    Thanx very much, more power :)

    Please elaborate “screen resolution compromise”. Do you mean the screen resolution was lower with the upgraded firmware? Please tell us why and how. Thanx

    very much disappointed w LG Cookie. Battery life lasts for a day. Phone is hanging. LG claimed its bcos of the software issue. They changed my unit w the upgraded software version. But with the latest software, screen resolution compromise

    lol…

    new phone?
    this feb 2008, motorola released the Moto Q9h…i bought it and its nice…

    but before that i knew about “touchscreen” phones(iPhones and chinaPhones as well)…but because of expensiveness and network compatibility i wanst able to buy iPhone, chinaphone (pirated) they copied iPhone’s style and design and worse, they even have iPhone(chinaphone brand)hahahah…

    but when me and my girlfriend watched television and LG Cookie’s advertisement we were looking each other and go surf reviews and specs about this LG Cookie…and we were amazed about its price, 11,900php…so PangMASA…i regret i bought moto Q9h for 21,000 instead of waiting for this LG Cookie for 10months for only 11,900php…hahahaha…

    but i was worried though…it doesnt have Wi-Fi nor 3G…T_T…(sad)…

    but its ok…ill just surprise my GF and give her this phone anyways for Christmas…shhhhhh…(its our secret)…hahahah

    I saw this phone yesterday at LG’s booth in Megamall Bldg. A. It was small, lightweight and cute hehe! The ‘motion sensor’ capability is cool; I was able to “toss a dice” on one of the games by just shaking the phone haha! For a P11,900 touch-screen phone, this one’s good already. Though it doesn’t have 3G and Wi-Fi, who cares? So long as I can call, text and take some photos are all fine with me.

    I always wanted to have a touch-screen phone since iPhone was released. Since this is so cheap, no need for an iPhone since it way too expensive (unless someone gives me one this Xmas haha!)

    of course HTC is better, but that is different market HTC caters to. LG KP500 is more like for the mass.
