LG KP500 Cookie review: Grab a bite

30 January 2009
It almost feels unfair of LG to give the KP500 a name that's so hard to say no to. The Cookie scent seems to have inspired a craving already and LG are hoping to have you coming back for more. A genuinely affordable touchscreen, a very decent specs sheet, and fun and friendly interface...

fabulous review. Though I must say, when you said that the camera was fantastic, I wanted to hurl my laptop. It's soo not true. xD

                Only if the audio quality of the Cookie blended into the Renoir then I would purchase the Renoir.

                (Here come a stack of lame Cookie jokes). This is surely one yummy Cookie full of sweet chocolate chips.

                  So this is how the Cookie crumbles!.. xD

                  Good budget affordable touchscreen. Not many other handsets like this, so I can see why this is a hit.

                    Nice mid range phone! Touchscreen is the advantage in sales point. LG rocks!!

                      Jake, 31 Jan 2009Nice Review GSMARENA I really sensed that you had a real... moreThanx Jake,

                      I'm aware of the great firmware update tutorial in http://www.mylgcookie.com/index.php/topic,337.0.html.
                      My question is: have you tried it yourself? I live in the Philippines, is the v10n firmware update compatible with the networks there? Where can I download the v10c+24?

                        I had this mobile for around one month and now it is in the reparation center, is the worst mobile i ever had, talking about performance: freezes, restart, and finally, died, dont buy it until it had a better firmware which colud stop the problems

                          Nice Review GSMARENA

                          I really sensed that you had a really great time with the phone in your review.

                          BTW you could already update your phone so it wouldn't have anymore of the restart bug. got 2 versions to choose from already v10c+24 and v10n =)

                            Finally, a review from GSMArena.
                            But I was disappointed that they did not mention the restart bug. It's hard to ignore the fact that many Cookie owners experience the bug. I hope an official firmware update will be posted on the LG website soon.

                                Of course fixed focus makes us sad, also no led flash, no wi-fi, low video resolution, no flash player, etc etc etc. But you still get more than what youre paying for!!!
