v, 25 Sep 2009i have questions: how is the quality of the speaker,earphon... moreuse the free screen protectors to avoid scratches from pen/stylus or finger nails. speakers are loud and clear but the coookie doesn't have wifi. you might want the new express music phones instead. both 5530 and 5800 have wifi but cost $100 more.

Ganesh, 25 Sep 2009thankx again kokey. but how do i check the version before b... morethe firmware version isn't stated on the box. the phone has to be turned on and go to >top menu>settings>phone settings>handset info. or just dial 1809#*500# and click version. though i suggest using the first method as the 2nd one is the phone's test mode. you might make the phone crash.
anyway if you can't open the box you might want to go to the nearest LG center first and ask if they can update to the newest firmware. they'll do it for free for phones with warranty.

what i hate about cookie is when you are replying to somebodys message then when another message came it pop out instantly and chances are the message you are typing will be lost if you press wrong button and you have to type again.., i really hate texting using LG COKIE.. the feauture is good, all about the camera is good especially the video but the i will rate it as ZERO in userfriendliness...., i really hate it,,..

anyone tried this?
i transferred some pictures taken from my old phones to my cookie and to my surprize, pictures from my old nokia 3650 and motorola v360 looked amazing. both these phones have VGA cameras yet the pictures look the same as the ones from my 2megapix nokia n70.
hmm i wonder if the cookie somehow enhances these pictures. because when i view the pictures, they start up really blurry then clears up to reveal really good quality pictures..wierd

what???, 25 Sep 2009your lg took pictures like it was taken on a 8 megapixel ca... morewell i too wouldnt trade my cookie for an iphone. the most important thing for me in a phone is sharing. sharing pictures, videos, music, games, etc. the iphone just doesnt allow that, unless you jailbreak it, which also voids your warranty.
and it's true that cookie's pictures are way better than iphone. indoors or outdoors.
i might trade my cookie for 5530 but not iphone..
or maybe i will trade my cookie for an iphone, and sell it. i'd have enough money to buy a new cookie, 5530, and 5800. hehe

Ganesh, 25 Sep 2009Hey kokey..My name is ganesh..im buyin this fone this sunda... morehi ganesh
yes you can update your firmware. all the major bugs have been fixed by the new software v10d or higher. but its more convenient to buy a phone with new software already installed bacause you might void the warranty if you update it yourself..

I second the motion!
I totally agree about what Kokey is saying about you checking the software version before you buy. That simple. So quit whinning around and do your research first.
Haiz it obviously pathetic. Even IPhone has its own problems you know. No technological device is perfect!

freezing, turning itself off, restarting, crashing, and other bugs are all caused by early software versions. as i've said before, check the software version before buying..

I hate my Kp500, do not touch with a barge pole. texting is awful and phone is generally buggy as hell. Will turn off and reboot itself randomly and when it does, all new words the user has stored in the predictive text dictionary will be lost. seriously fellas, a phone that can't retain all the data during a power down is total tat. I have had 2 LG phones now, i will never own a third. This has put me off all LG products.
