Reviewed by tom on 06/01/2009well reading the reviews here it seems you either get a good one or a bad one. i have had mine 3 weeks it has turned of onced and reset 2 times but not as bad as some others overall i would say its good for the money. battery life is very good. screen very good. and has enough gadgets on it who needs 3g video calling ? or if you want a good camera then buy a camera. i use a phone as a phone so the camera doesnt bother me but its handy should you need it quality is pretty good. and all them people who say the iphone is better well your paying big pounds for it and if you read the reviews there not that good. due to the buggy firmware i would rate the cookie at 3 good Rating:  Reviewed by vicky on 06/01/2009 iv had my phone since christmas , since iv used it , it has reset itself several times , made a 'buzzing' sound from the battery when it was out of charge and now it will not even swice on , im taking it back to the shop and is by far the worst phone i have bought to have lasted me less than 2 weeks Rating: Reviewed by Jason, manchester on 06/01/2009 anyone looking for downloads for this phone should look for "touch screen enabled" on google , you will find a load of games that are compatable with the phone , anyway a review , the phones UI is slow but no where near as slow as the lg viewty , the camera is awful , i would have made do with a 1 mega pixel as long as it had a flash , the gallery sometimes shows as empty until you reboot the phone , music player takes nearly 20 seconds to load from the front screen , the phone has no 3d java like on nokia and erricson phones so you are stuck with 2d puzzle games , or if you want to play 3d games they look like rubbish on the phone the slot for the charger is a nightmare to locate in low light and is very difficult to slot in , the headphones are terrible , the flash support is limited to flash lite only and files of under 100k, the phone reboots a lot , this is a firmware issue so hopefully that will be sorted , plus points , its cheap and it has a touch screen , wish I would have waited and bought a windows mobile device instead of this , not recomended unless you have never owned a touch screen mobile before , you can get phones much better than this from ebay with built in analogue tv receivers touch screens nintendo emulation and all kinds of gadgets for less than 60 quid Rating: Reviewed by Paul on 05/01/2009 have this phone for a while now and its superb.Its excellent value for the price and its simple to use considering all the features you get with it.A must buy if you cant afford the apple i phone.Love this and would recommend this to anyone.One thing though go to your provider to upgrade your sim card if you havent done this in a while and thgis will add to your enjoyment of this phone. Rating: Reviewed by LOVE IT! on 05/01/2009 i got this fone a few weeks ago, its maa first LG fonee iv had..and to be honest, its thaa best fone iv EVER had! it haas everything i need and want...and it haas funny games, a movie maker (like a power point thingy), photo editing, etc. its truley amazing! buy iy or totally miss out! Rating: Reviewed by Dieter on 05/01/2009 I Have my LG cookie now for about a week. Touchscreen reacts very good. No reset/shutdown problems so far. positive: - sound is good - touchscreen is good and allows for fun handling - screen quality is good with clears colours - very light and the size is just right - price is very good. I paid 120 ¤ on E-bay (maybe too much if :-S) don't expect a full smart phone for this price - Camera is good although I haven't used it very much. A little slow to react though negative: - in contact list the phone numbers are not shown and the font is large so you get only a limited amount. scrolling here is very sensitive - you need to get used to the screen locking all the time but you can't get around this - data transmission is very slow over the USB cable - haven't been able to play .avi movies yet Rating: Reviewed by joan on 05/01/2009 all show and no go rubbish fone keeps turning off amongst other problems, keep clear Rating: Reviewed by ron on 05/01/2009 i loved this phone until it started playing up turns its self of, resets, freezes up, wipes all your data out when it resets i spent ages putting stuff on it only to have to do it again who wants a phone like that? completey useless firmware on this model, after reading reviews on here it seems most phones have problems, gadgets these days seem to get rushed on the market. so where being used to test them, why dont these things get tested before they are put on sale?, it must be a complete nuisence for the retailer having to return all this rubbish back to there supplier and having to tell the customer o its just a faulty one well knowing there all the same. friend of mine worked in a famous phone shop and all they did with dodgy phones was to put them in the store room then call the ccustomer week later and tell them its repaired cause they didnt see the point in returning it. as all that the repair shop done was just to redo the dodgy firmware with the same as was in it, would not touch this phone useless, unreliable, with good firmware it would be a good phone Rating: Reviewed by daniel on 05/01/2009 this phone is an exerlent phone it workes fine dont belive any think outhers say as i am right i love this phone and it is a great value for money Rating: Reviewed by tim on 05/01/2009 to put it in a simple and yet very effective phrase of what i think about this phone (having had it since christmas), i have come up with the following: WWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWW !!!!!!!!! this phone is by far the best i have ever purchased, and, i have purchased many as the orange TR1 model's screen kept breaking and i had to get it replaced with numerous other models from prett much every manufacturer. the camera, despite what the majprity of these people are saying is great and very very reliable. 3 megapixels, despite the lack of flash/ autofocus, is a great acheivement for a phone in this price braket. the touchscreeen interface is very precise, clear, friendly and easy to use, LG's freetouch systems work great and the overall feel of the phone make it a winner with the croud. i give this phone a whopping 5*/5* because it is just so good, by far the best thing on the market in this price range. well done LG uve done it again! Rating: Reviewed by Maurice on 04/01/2009 This is probably the phone not to buy. Maybe LG tried too cheap :{ sounds good on paper if you don't have one that reboots all the time. Rating: Reviewed by carla on 04/01/2009 looks good battery life is great for the size of the screen it drives. touchscreen works well. texting isnt to bad much better than some more expensive touch screens. now the bad bit. has a habbit of rebooting and some times turns off also does freeze at times. if the firmware was better i would give it 5 star so come on lg get the firmware sorted out and you have a good phone. Rating: Reviewed by Tina on 04/01/2009 This is a lovely phone , dead funky with loads of cool applications unfortunately its also unreliable. Constantly looses settings messages and asks you to reclalibrate all the time which is especially annoying if you want to make a quick call. Buy if you must - u never know you might get a good one :( Rating: Reviewed by diane on 04/01/2009 it wont impress your friends when they try to call you and they find your lovely cookie is off or your boyfriend or girlfriend thinks you have turned it off lol. not as good as i thought nice looking fone nice screen very clear but rubbish software keeps resetting. beware not a good buy if you like a reliable fone........................... Rating: Reviewed by nick on 04/01/2009 if you use this fone long enough you will find it turns off and some times restarts wipeing out all your text and anything else you have saved on it. am on my 3rd one in the last 2 weeks. no point in reviewing a fone you just have a few hours you need to use it for a while. wonder just how many people you put up reviews on this model here see it different now they have used it. totally unreliable firmware and all mine had the latest firmware v10c so the problems are still there even with the updated firmware. money wasted Rating: Reviewed by Sammy on 04/01/2009 Its a really gd fone bt the fact it resets it self every so often is really annoying because you loose your texts and all your settings along with your pictures and songs its the most annoyingest thing ever !!! Rating: Reviewed by Marie on 02/01/2009 I got mine for christmas and I absolutely love it. I totally agree with all points being raised in the review above!!! Rating: Reviewed by Arvy on 02/01/2009 i didn't like this fone because after a couple days the phone kept restarting. I have had this fone for over 2 months and i already don't like. The price is brilliant for a touchscreen phone but it isn't good because it keeps switching off Rating: Reviewed by Bazza on 02/01/2009 Excellent phone. First time for a touch screen smart phone - but it's easy to use & has a decent battery life. A good buy for the money. Rating: Reviewed by Anthony C on 02/01/2009 This phone is great for the price i payed. I no some people are saying its not as good as the samsung pixon or the iphone but its about a third of the price. Has everything you need and at a great price.Recomendable to Anybody. Rating: Reviewed by Jiggs on 02/01/2009 For every body who has problem with transferring their music from PC to phone, install the lg pc suite II and then go to the "content" icon once the suite menu appears. there u can trasfer ur music from PC to LG cookie.

Rating: Reviewed by Emily on 01/01/2009 first of all i am only 12... so if my review isnt accurate sorry! ok where do i start? i have had no problems with the off/on situation! perfect phone for people who like the latest gadgets!!! Rating: Reviewed by Davies on 01/01/2009 I've recently got the LG Cookie (KP500) and i am very impressed with the phone overall, but I have noticed that it does have some faults. The faults I have noticed so far are that the phone will randomly turn itself off, resulting in all the setings having to be re-done to your own prefferences, and also the 'profiles' such as silent mode etc, they do change themselves and your prefferenced occasionaly without any warning, so things such as your wallpaper & ringtone would change. Im not sure if these problems are just just with my phone or thay are a manufactural problem. Overall I would recomend buying the LG Cookie as it is an amazing phone for the money you pay for it. Rating: Reviewed by john on 01/01/2009 nice phone good touch screen but firmware is bad restarts whenever it likes and also wipes out settings. it also turns its self of. i have had it replaced twice and still the same both had firmware v10c which i was told is the latest. wouldnt bother with it until they sort out firmware if they ever do. Rating: Reviewed by Alex on 31/12/2008 LG Cookie AKA KP500, this phone is excellent only £100 from CPWH there is some problems with the LG Cookie which the phone restarts this is because of the software version kp500at_v10b, this was happening to my lg cookie took it back to the shop and swaped it for a software version KP500AT_V10c, LG cookie which is better as it hasnt restarted as much it has once i must add but that might be because of me in someway i not sure but this phone is great if you thinking of getting one make sure u have the latest software version!!, the camera hasnt got a light or flash so it is'nt has good as the phones with the flash but thats obv, its a good camera for what it is :) if you store pictures on you memmory stick you once u go to my images file the images will not store in folders as you must add the images to phone memmory to add photos to differnt folders which is very annoying but if u dont have much pictures then it wont really matter, all in all great phone, great appl ications, nice size and feel to it!! just hope LG keeps improving the LG Cookie software :) Rating: Reviewed by Corey on 31/12/2008 Well first of all, i have to tell you my age, which is 11. So as a child, this is an amazing phone. Yeah alright, the camera is rubbish, but for £100, its brilliant value for money. The touchscreen is good, though not as responsive as my iPod Touch, and the built in stylus is a nice extra. The music player is very nice, the FM radio works well, the web browser is good, the texting is quic and its very easy to use. So overall I highly reccomend it!!! Rating: Reviewed by steve on 31/12/2008 this phone is way to buggy at the minute mine resets and turns its self off ramdomly. other than that its not to bad for the price but beware your getting a phone with buggy software and if you can put up with that fine as for mine its going back for a refund. not good when your waiting on a text or call and your phone has turned off. Rating: Reviewed by kayleigh on 31/12/2008 has anyone else had a problem when charging the lg cookie? mine charges for about 30 mins and says its full when it's clearly not! and when it goes from 3 bars to 2 it then runs out within an hour =s Rating: Reviewed by Tricky-Dicky on 31/12/2008 Needed a new phone, so thought I'd go for this cheaper touch screen model. Took a little getting used to after using a phone with hard keys. No problems once I'd played with it for a few days. Nice looking light unit. Easy to use. It has got a lot of options crammed in, so there are lots of menus/sub menus (manual has 129 pages). I have not had a problem with the touch screen, re large fingers, but there in a "pen" included that works well. There is a fraction delay on detection, but nothing serious. Sound quality/clarity is good. It doesn't come with much memory, but for £10ish you can add a micro SD card upto 8Mb, so that's easily solved for photo, video, music storage. Camera takes good photos (first switch to large size & high quality in options). As for other reviews mentioning "resetting/switching off". I have not had this problem (yet?). The only thing I have found slightly disconcerting is that when switched on, after a time (that you can set/alter), it goes into a power saving/stand-by mode, when the backlight/screen goes black. This is to save battery power, but since the power light also goes off, you think the phone is off, when actually it's asleep - waiting for a call, or you to wake it!. I would have liked some indication that the phone was still on/alive. Anyway, small gripe aside, this seems like a nice phone, and for £100ish, it's not expensive compared with a lot of other phones. We'll see how it holds up against my works Nokia. I'll review again in a few weeks if I find anything to report. Rating: Reviewed by em on 31/12/2008 i have read a few reviews which say i cant put music from pc by using the cd. there is a simple answer i had to do this with my nokia: buy a bluetooth dongle- they are cheap and easy to set up! hope this helped xx Rating: Reviewed by Paul on 31/12/2008 My daughter likes hers but we (mistakenly) tried to download a song to it and it won't delete. Deleted every other song/music on the phone but this one won't let us delete it. Does anyone know how to do it please? Thanks in advance. Rating: Reviewed by Sam on 31/12/2008 just got this phone and im surprised its extremely good for its price 100 pounds, its no iphone but it does deliver for somebody like me who wants a touchscreen phone without having to spend 200 pounds +, definetly best phone ive bought, only thing to rant about would be that so far i dont think you can change themes. Rating: Reviewed by rick on 30/12/2008 people need to use this fone for a while before reviewing it. i have had mine since the 21dec. in the last week it reset it self and wiped everything out. when i went to use it today it had turned off and wouldnt turn back on until i removed the battery. the touch screen is good in fact better than the prada which is awful to text on. took it back to the cfw today and got it replaced and while i was in there another guy was bringing his back with same problems so beware and use it for a while then review it. mine has v10c software and am told thats the latest Rating: Reviewed by conor on 30/12/2008 best phone i ever had much beter than the nokia 5310 express music ....... Rating: Reviewed by justin on 30/12/2008 This phone is the best sub-£100 phone I have ever come accross. a year ago this phone would have set you back over £400. i actually ran into this phone because i was considering buying an 8gb ipod touch for £160, or a cheaper alternative 8gb ipod nano for £110, but then saw this phone in a magazine and realised i would be wasting money on both the ipods when i could get the closest thing to a 8gb iphone for £110 (plus £10 8gb memory card). this was great due to the fact that you can simply drag-and-drop your music onto this phone rather than use itunes (which is what i have always hated about ipods). i was initially extremely skeptical even to the last minute before i bought it, constantly thinking the phone would look good on the posters but be very rubbish when you actually tried it out but i was very, VERY amazed when i got it up and running. PROS AND CONS: COSMETIC - great size and shape, LG have trimmed this phone to the max, it is suprisingly slim and very light for a touch-phone. the edges of the phone are smooth which means long calls are not uncomfortable. the screen is very bright and vivid, it takes up about 80% of the face of the phone, which looks great. the only cosmetic downside of the phone is the matt-plastic case which in my opinion does not look bad at all. FUNCTION - excellent touch screen operation, there have been alot of complaints about text messages using it but i have had no problems apart from getting used to using virtual buttons rather than physical buttons. using T9 input is fast and easy, it could probably be faster than a conventional phone in all honesty. if you cannot use T9 then the next best thing is to turn the screen sideways to access the virtual QWERTY keyboard which is also quick and easy to use. i am a 6ft tall male with large hands and i do not have problems using the touch screen with my fingers, even down to the smallest of virtual buttons i.e. the scroll bars FUN - you can set up the phone just like most other phones so you can have your own personal screen saver and ringtones, you can have a different ring tone and picture for each person in your phone book, the picture viewer is very similar to the ipod touch, and the music player is also just as good as the ipod or walkman interface. the built in games are fun for all! you can also edit pictures and even edit videos! the camera is very good for the price, i had a sony walkman touch screen phone a year and a half ago it cost me over £350 and had no camera what so ever which makes the 3.2MP camera on this phone a blessing. it takes good enough pictures and videos. OTHERS - there are other little nice touches to this phone like widgets and vibration pulse-touch DOWNSIDES - the first thing i noticed before i even turned on the phone was that the earphones/handsfree that comes with the phone does not allow you to connect your own earphones (like sony walkman phones). the first thing i noticed after i turned the phone on was that the accelerometer is a little bit slow. i found it very hard to switch from horizontal view to vertical view. but after a bit of practice i found that if you tilt the phone slowly then it works fine every time so in a way this isnt actually a technical problem.the second thing i noticed was that you can set a security code for the phone but it can only be 4 digits long and you cannot set it to the key lock. With all the budget-busting features on this phone, i would have expected a flash for the camera. i cannot understand the point of having a camera on a phone without a flash, but like i have said already, to get a camera with the phone is a blessing! VERDICT: this phone is the best thing you could possibly buy for £100. it simply is a steal! if you want an ipod you might as well just go ahead and buy this phone, it has everything an ipod has plus more, AND it will probably last a little longer before breaking lol Rating: Reviewed by Emily on 30/12/2008 Had this fone 4 xmas, it wasnt long ago but this fne is AWESOME! it is sleek and i love the handwriting feature in text messages. my last phone was a nokia 7373 swivel and the cookie beats the nokia by a mile!! it plays music quite loud which suits me just fine! Rating: Reviewed by b0bbbo on 29/12/2008 not that great Rating: Reviewed by Mark on 29/12/2008 I got my Cookie a week ago. I have been really impressed by its touchscreen and camera. I wish it had a flash because the images are not that clear in the night. The inbuilt games are also very good and I also got some from mylgcookie.com I have been playing games on my Cookie everyday when I am free. I would recommend this phone to everyone. Rating: Reviewed by HAZWAZ123 on 29/12/2008 it is a very good phone and i really like it. but i dont know whether i am doing it wrong but when i turn it off and turn it back on everything changes back to how it was before you have changed things. like thge wallpaper and speeddail options and ring tones. it is a good phone though Rating: Reviewed by Alex on 29/12/2008 I got this phone for christmas and i have to say it is amaysing. I was so pleased when i got it and im always on it. But i have to say there is 1 problem i cant put music off my PC onto my phone. Appart from that it is great. I exspecital love the way you can slide the photos across and tilt the phone sidways on text and pictures i advise anyone to get it :D xxx Rating: Reviewed by Anthony on 28/12/2008 I just got this phone yesterday and it is awesome, i didnt get any rebooting problems on my cookie and the headphone is very loud but just one thing the battery life isn't as good i thought it would be, its less than my Nokia 6300 ...

However when i turn it off it sometimes resets itself and will wipe out all my messages but leaves ervything else as it is. Can anyone help ? Rating: Reviewed by Matth3w on 27/12/2008 Got mine today, like it so far although im not to impressed with the built in games so i decided to go on the internet and try and find some for download - came across none (even the LG Site had none), i then thought lets try themes, again, "Themes are not available on the KP500". Although this was a bit frustrating i still like the phone and enjoy it for the price. Good Features: Touchscreen Accelerometer (Phone rotates photographs automatically depending upon the position of phone) The ability to shake the phone to get responces from it (re-arrange your icons) Camera - Great quality (3mp) although when its dark it does let it down, but i tend to take pics in the day so i find this not an issue. Video quality is great, as phones normally lack video quality, having had many top phones before, this seems to hold the gold medal for video quality. Radio - Great Feature Sound Quality - Very good Nice compact department for me to hide away my stylus - very neet Drawpad - Little pad that u can draw in, change color of your pens, background... pretty neat feature, can come up with good pictures. Bad Points. Not having ability to change themes, no games available for download Although camera is good, there is a bit of a delay in the actual image and image on screen, but photos do come out in great quality. Other than that, great phone, I have gave this a 4 purely for lack of games/themes - if this wasn't an issue, i'd give it a 5, this is a 5* phone if you don't use games and wish to change themes.

It amazing! I got it from the carphone warehouse for about £100. It has so much to offer for that price. the games are fun, the editing is v. good also little details like when you writing a message you turn the screen a different keypad comes into view. The speakers are really good. plus the browser is outstanding, there was a little technical hitch though, when i went on the browser i had to register to go on any things such as bebo and youtube, i had to be 18, which I'm not. But thats the only bad thing so far. The phone memory by itself is ok, its better with a huge 8gb. Also an impressive 2 wallpapers both with 2 settings, one for calls the other for menus. Overall this phone is amazing and i would recommend everyone to buy it ! Rating: Reviewed by K_squared on 26/12/2008 The phone is very interactive with users. Lots of Flash Ui(s) to put on your main screen which could be useful. eg. Music player on main screen as well as memo pad and world time. Very easy to use, although lacks flash on the camera, but still 3.2 megapixels without flash is okay. The auto screen turning ability is very good so you can look at things wide screen or just like any other phones. LG cookie has many features which is convenient for active users. It's plastic, but big deal. You may think most other touchscreen phones is made out of better materials, but actually, some companies put gloss finishes to the phones to make it look non-plastic. Video and picture editing is very fun and easy to use. Price wise is also average like many other touchscreens. I would definately replace my Samsung Blast for the LG Cookie and recommend you to get the LG Cookie if you are looking for a new phone.

It is really worth the money - a touch screen that does a lot of what the apple does, for a fraction of the cost. Although at first it was a bit daunting coming from a background of keypads, I have now had it for a day and have mastered it! (Including texting - which if fine even if you have 'chubby' fingers thanks to the neat stylus). It is a great size and nice and slim. It's also very light which I wasn't expecting! The features are really good, such as the drawing pad and the muvee maker. The camera is decent and the videos are of a good quality. The battery life is also very long-lasting, and this is even when i've been playing with it all the time! The only downfall is the software - for some reason it's refusing to install onto my windows xp. However despite this i'm still giving this phone 5* as the software is not a necessity to it. Brilliant phone, thanks LG. :) Rating: Reviewed by Michael Kelly on 26/12/2008 Well, Just went out today and baught this phone - Amazed. Utterly speechless, No matter what the other reviews are "Not responsive" ECT, Maybe you should try calaborating your touch screen once everyweek, It's good - But it's not perfect! I've found the music player is great, And the fact it can with stand a 8GB Memory card puts this little gem straight through the roof!

But signal strengh in difficult spots is good (except in elevators), voice clarity during calls is good, the homescreen widgets and 9 favorite contacts screen is great. Same problem with all touchscreen phones: you have to constantly be looking at the screen when you are entering commands or typing, which makes me miss hardware keys. After owning the HTC Touch and Moto Ming, this one is far better. No themes to download. Are there widgets to download?

Rating: Reviewed by Serena on 22/12/2008 Im 13, from Herefordshire. I was origonally going to get this phone on PAYG but the men in the shop (CPW) persuaded my mum to go on contract. Its a good deal. £15 pm unlimited texts 100 mins The phone is ment for christmas, but I have had a good play on it. Its a great phone, very fun. Lots of great features including 3.2mp camera, great games and good memory (well reasonable). I handed my old handset into CPW and got £20 back, not quite sure how it works, but I bought a memory card from it. Cant wait till i get it all set up and going. Although CPW rang yesturday and told my mum they had given the wrong phone out, they said it was a demo phone!! :O I was pretty shocked they could make that mistake. But nothing really seemed different. Anyhow, they swapped it today and told me to give it a good charge, so earlier I put it on charge and it said ‘no sim inserted’. Im going back tomorrow to get it sorted. But I know its the sim because me and my sister tried each others sims in each others phones and her sim worked in both phones, whereas mine didnt. Not very happy with it. Another thing, Ive read LOADS of reviews and some of them say the phone reboots itself (turns itself off). I asked a friend about it because her best mate has this phone and it did it to her. I asked what did she do, and she said it happened for about a week, but has been fine ever since. It hasnt happened to me while ive played on the phone but if it does, I will probably go back to CPW. Some people have said the touch screen is hard to get used to, but its not. I got an iPod touch earlier this year as a bday present and that was really quick to get used to. Also when messaging, the Cookie has: -handwriting recognition -predictive text -normal which I think is really good. :) Rating: Reviewed by merouby uk on 22/12/2008 Just bought this yesterday and I have been busy customizing it since. I will have to say this review will be with a stint, as I bought this to replace my two iPhones (first generation) that I decided to sell. You will need to upgrade the memory (done by buying a MicroSD - I recommend buying a 4GB or better still 8GB) as it\'s built-in 48MB is not sufficent for most of what you wish to use it for. This presents a problem to a previous iPhone owner, as the Cookie sees the microSD card as external memory and does not group the two (external & internal) together. What this means is that there are duplicate folder structures and you have to specify where files go - not that easy because there is no easy access file manager mode within the phone itself to move files. While the GUI is good and allows you to selectively place certain applets onto the screen (ala iPhone/Windows Vista sidebar-style) it only allows you to place just a small number of preselected ones the desktop. This is a shame. I would love to put the calculator or movie player on the screen for quick launch but you cannot. Also, if you are a Mac user, then I would suggest you invest in Parallels or similar PC emulation software to allow you to move files (ie songs, etc.) The included software (including drivers) is Windows only. Speaking of Mac, the Mac will open up iPhoto and show the Cookie in a disk mode (which sadly only access the built-in 48MB portion of internal memory). There are certain USB-modes that allow the PC Suite to be used (a bit out-of-date by todays standard but does sync contacts pretty well) like Mass Storage, Music Sync, PC internet and PC suite. PC internet allows the phone to work as a modem (provided you have the USB cable at hand) for your laptop. But at EDGE/GPRS speeds, which is better than nothing. Music sync allows you to choose internal or external memory locations to place your music files. Music sync will only work with WinXP SP2 with WMP 11 or higher installed, which I eventually figured out. Works in Vista just fine though. Thankfully, music files included MP4 (AAC) which means all my iTunes music was able to be ported over without issues. The browser is good as for loading the content. The same websites and speed as a 1st gen iPhone but it sucks for navigating. You cannot simple scroll around the screen - the touchscreen will resist it, but eventually will give in if you pester it and let you do so. Also placing too much pressure with your fingures while navigating and it will magnify the screen to preset values instead of moving around. Links can only be opened within the webpage once you magnify them. Finally, if you change orientation during page loading then it will change the orientation once it gets the chance (not immediately like the iPhone). The stylus included does not really help you browsing much either. You cannot help but get the feeling that its web-browsing capabilites are painful at best and should be generally avoided if you can (unlike the iPhone which is a breeze in comparison). Sound quality is great and what you would expect. The built-in headphones are the ear bud type (ala iPod) and plug into the same plug where one would charge it. That is a bit of a shame as well, although you can buy (and I would recommend) a headphone adapter off Ebay which allows you to plug regular headphones in. It will play your music with its built-in speaker which sounds decent, should you wish to. I have not configured email yet, as it only supports POP3. I use Yahoo Mail and as a work around, I set a favorite to wap.yahoo.com which loads quickly and lets me check my mail using the web interface instead. No big deal. Loaded my photos onto the phone and the photo viewer is decent, and does let you flick through the pictures ala iPhone (drag accross to the next pic). There are other features, including the Java based games, but I miss the App Store on the iPhone. In short, this is no iPhone replacement, but for £100 you would be foolish to think it was. What you get is a phone which gives you the minimum of what you would expect from a proper touchscreen phone without horrible clunky-overbearing Windows Mobile. Worth buying in my opinion, but if you can, try an iPhone first. It will set the bar for what you think of Touchscreen phones in general and the iPhone is worth the £250 premium over this phone, but the Cookie is a good comprimise provided you can stomach it's hiccups.

I only bought this phone as a stop-gap until the 3rd generation iPhone is launched summer 2009, that can't come soon enough.

The screen is small when you text and you have to scroll up and down, and then somehow you highlight some words and they get deleted...

Rating: Reviewed by John on 19/12/2008 This phone is fantastic. Value for money nothing can beat it. Some people happen to compare it with the Iphone, you must take into consideration the price difference. There's a saying you pay for what you get, this is the case with the Iphone however with the Cookie you get way, way more. Some advantages the cookie has over the Iphone is the camera. Although it is not your latest 8 megapixel camera phone it has a 3 megapixel camera whereas the Iphone has a 2 megapixel camera considering the price difference cookie is winner for sure. Also the cookie has a built in stylus which the Iphone doesn't have. Of course you will look at the Iphone and say wait a minute it has an application store and 3G internet etc. Yes it does but for the price people pay is it really worth all of that? Also for looks to be honest both phones look sophisticated and stylish so there is no real difference there. But remember for under £100 the cookie does more than what it says on the tin it gives you extra, but the Iphone gives you what it says!

The touchscreen is easy to use and the layout is easy to figure. The camera takes reasonably decent quality pics, which is fine by me. I like the actual look and feel to the phone. It's nice n light and feels right in your hand but the texting is a bit of a menace at times. I always seem to hit the "Backspace" button but once you get the hang of it, its fine.

I love the big screen and the digital key pad is very very easy to use. I initially thought that touch screens are hard to use (i'm a conservative in that sense, hehe...) but did this phone break that mindset. And since I only use my cell phone for texting and calling, this phone really suits me just fine. I can easily give this an outstanding rating but my phone has been restarting itself on its own a couple of times already so I'm only giving this a 4.

Moreover on LG site there are many FREE downloads (Wallpapers,Games,Applications) available for this which is great. Battery backup looks OK to me. Only missing bits are 3G and Wi-Fi.

When i inserted a new word into the text dictionary it didnt remember it, and it made this rally loud odd noise randomly and a few other things that annoyed me. I would have got my money back but they wouldn't let me (which i expected). When i opened the box with my new phone in, due to the fact that the handset already had a protector on (which my last one didnt), and i found a piece of paperwork that i didnt get with my first one- i figured that carphone warehouse must have given me one that had previously had an owner, which i wasn't pleased about.
