Does it support external applications?since it's running on it's own OS unlike Symbian, WinMo, etc. i reckon there are rare or no applications available for it :(..it would be great if you can install free apps like divX mobile for watching movies on the go, mobipocket reader for non-pdf e-books. and a pdf viewer for pdf e-books :) (converting pdf to mobi is not good imo :(..so its better to have a dedicated pdf reader)cheers!:)

@Myca.
Great Review.
I bought mine yesterday and I am stunned with the black color, only 2 color avail (brown). it has superb resolution as well as music.
Is there an downloadable java application in order to view wmv & avi videos on this fone. "Unsupported file" pops up once i play this video files.
Any website you can recommnend for java2.0 apps and games possible for cookie?

I got this phone for an early Christmas present and its the best phone I've ever had!
Its fast and the battery last for 2 days.
The camera is a bit ifi.
The MP3 is brilliant i have loads of music on mine.
Make sure you get the microSD upload your pics onto your pc with the memory stick.
I apsoloutly love the text messaging when you go on keyboard!
The Bad thing is its 25p a minute for internet!
When you get the sim card with the phone it has £10 on so thats good! >>INTERNET>GET THIS PHONE ITS THE BEST AS LONG AS YOUR WILLING TO PAY 25p A MINUTE FOR INTERNET

Here is my official review and POV for the LG KP500. Read this to understand before you buy the phone. :)
The LG cookie took me by surprise when I first touched it. The plastic case was hard and it did not feel like plastic at all. To be honest, I dropped it the next day by accident and it didn't have a SINGLE damage. And yeah, I saw it bounce. haha. Anyway, in the box, there is a CD-ROM, a USB, the Phone, Charger, a Manual and earpiece.
External memory is great. I mean, you can upgrade until 8gb. But I bought the 4gb, and I filled it up. To my shock it only used 1/8 of the memory. Yeah, the phone doesn't use much so I was pleased I didn't pool much money for the 8gb.
The earpiece works brilliantly! I have never felt such a comfortable piece since the Treo earpieces. :D If you like music loud, the speakers of the phone are clear and crisp. You can change the EQ too, which is nice since some songs sound really weird. haha.
The battery has good performance. It lasts with me for two days even with heavy usage. I love tinkering with the phone since it's screen is very responsive. The usual annoyance for people is that it locks itself. Don't worry, you can fix that in the settings.
The stylus is pretty small which can very much irritate those with big hands. But it'd good for me.
The phone also comes with an LCD protector film. But it does not affect the sensitivity of the screen. It says though in the manual that it affects it. SO if you take the film off, it would be higly-sensitive. I don't recommend it, though since I haven't tested if the screen is vulnerable to scratches. I do know, however, that the screen itself is not a finger-print magnet. The film protector is, though.
The camera is really weak. I actually don't use it much since it's poor compared to my old phones, and they CLAIM it's 3mp. What I love about the camera is that it's fully customizable. It's fun and you can draw on your pics.
People compare it a LOT to the iPhone, but DON'T. I have the iPhone too, and to be honest, I really like using the Cookie better. The iPhone is slow, and sometimes it lags. Also, you can't really do much since it does not come with games. The song thing is pretty good, though. I have the 160gb version.
Speaking of games, you would love the games here. It's very nice since it works a lot like the DS. It uses a lot of functions like shaking the phone, the touch screen blah blah.
-----
UPs:
1.It charges through USB. It's great! Such a pleasant surprise.
2. The LCD is quite responsive.
3. Games are the best, and you can download too.
4. It reads files.Except, my PDF files didn't work.
5. The drawing tool.
6. Thin and sexy exterior. Perfect for guys and girls too. :)
7. Screen is bright and dazzling.
8. YOU WOULD LOVE IT. The list is too long for me to continue.
----
DOWNs
1. No wifi obviously. >.>
2. Camera is a little odd.
3. Slow acrive UI response.
4. Protective film is a finger print magnet.
5. Stylus is small, but it's okay since it's not used much unless you go OWERTY mode.

Thanks for reading!
