I was in love with my phone unlike what some people say, it DOES come with a styles. I have had my loverly phonio for nearly 2 years and it has survived: SWIMMING IN WATER even the sim card was wet when i took it out! what i did was i pulled it apart and dried it off and hey presto, the touch screen started working again! CRASHED WITH A ROCK! (my fault! I had it in a bag with a heavy stone, it got a large scratch but IT STILL LIVES!) It is gr8 coz: good sound quality brilliant headphpnes strong sturdy touch screen that is not too sensitive good value good camera settings plus photo morphing tec (i had so much fun with it!) BAD battery power if music is being listened to charger/head phone port sooooooooo fragile. It has worn off now and i cant even charge it! still, it has lasted 23 months soooooooo I LUV IT!

3 weeks ago... it was love at first sight with the COOKIE LG KP500 and i paid for it. loved the features. PROBLEM 1: it generates heat when browsing or music playback which reduces battery power to less than 12 hours. PROBLEM 2: video formats is limited to .3gp.... no avi, mpeg, mp4. i love the phone but this sucks.

I have the LG Cookie in Purple. Its really good fun to use but, like they said, the Camera isn't so good. But, 2 things I really enjoy about the Phone is, when you text, you have a decision whether you want the keyboard portait or landsacape, that is so much easier than an actual keyboard. The other thing I enjoy so much is the Games, they feel so real, You can actually move it around and click to spin. Out of 5 I would give it a 4.

Bad things: Only had it for about a year but the battery is terrible! The USB cable has stopped working. You can't see it in the sun. The touch screen is really slow. Takes ages to charge (around 3/4 hours) Doesn't have good internet connection. It is very slow. Good things: Not heavy. Doesn't break easily. Comes with earphones and USB cable. Music goes quite loud.

I "upgraded" to an LG Cookie in May 2011. This phone has been back to Telus for repairs more often than it's been in my possession. The space bar for the text messaging stops working...I can't make or receive calls lots of times even with full service bars. I have had my mother (who also has a cookie) standing next to me in my kitchen trying to call me and getting a message that I am not avilable. I try to call her (while standing in the same spot) and it dials once and the call ends. I sometimes have to turn my phone off and on up to 4 times to be able to use it. It is the most unreliable phone I have ever had. I can certianly tell everyone that it wasn't an "upgrade". I will NEVER purchase another LG Cookine phone. I even had to go and buy a cheap Pay as You Go phone so that I would have something reliable while the Cookie is back to Telus to be fixed.

Touchscreen is terrible, you have to punch the screen for it to pick up the touch. accelerometer is also on the dodgy side. gets extremely laggy when you use a decent amount of its memory. worst part however for me was that my ariel broke so the phone never picked up signal, not much point in having a phone if it doesn't pick up signal. the phone was looked after well only one small crack in the screen from when a three year old found it and threw it at the ground, still only lasted just under a year, went back to an old black and green screen nokia, as a phone it's imperial in every way

I got this phone with my birthday money three years ago, for around £120. For the first year I used a screen protector, and gave up after that, as it kept falling off. Considering the amount of times it's been dropped, and put in my bag or pocket with keys and other sharp objects, the screen is in very good condition. The only bad thing I have to say about this phone is the video recording, as the longest video my phone has ever been able to take is about twenty seconds, and I even tried using a memory card and deleting things, but couldn't fix the problem. Also there is no flash on the camera (I'd only have used this as a torch anyway), however the screen is usually bright enough. There are only two other problems that I've had with it. The first, is that it sometimes freezes when displaying balance after sending a message, which I think might partly be due to the fact that I ALWAYS leave it on vibrate, and this only started to happen in the second year of use anyway. The other problem is that it has started to switch itself off. However, I think after two and a half years of abuse, it's allowed to get a little tired. I absolutely love this phone, and think if I really wanted to, I could get another year (a total of four years) or use out of it, but I think it's got to the point where it should be a phone to take away on holidays. <3

I've had this phone for nearly 18 months now, and it still works, which is a testament to its toughness, as I can be a little careless with my phones. It isn't without its glitches, in fact I've never known an LG Cookie not to have some kind of glitch somewhere, but mine is easy enough to work around. It's looking a little battered by now, and the 'end call' button is close to packing in, but having survived 18 months of battering is an achievement for any phone. For the price, it's excellent. It's important to remember that it is one of the cheaper touch-screen phones out there, so can't be expected to perform as well as the higher-end phones, but overall it is a pretty good phone.

The LG Cookie is one of the worst phones i have ever had. The only good thing is the battery life it lasts at least 3 days but the main flaw that i see with this phone is that every minute in idle mode the phone automatically becomes on(lights up) when it is not in use and that is very annoying also the touch sensitive key pad is very, very sensitive not to my liking. even in my handbag when i go shopping i somehow manage to call home from my handbag, when i check the phone once i get home i have made numerous amount of calls to my home number so i have to switch off now when i go out which is silly. i hate my lg cookie. Now I'd like to own an Iphone 4 white. I know that it will not disappoint me.

This is the worst phone I ever owned. Put it in your pocket and it will randomly ring people in your address book. Browsing? forget it - totally useless. It used to switch itself off for no good reason although this feature now seems to have gone. The battery life indicator always showed full until about 10 minutes before it expired. Stopped typing in while you look up a number? - the screen locks up and you have to go through a rigmarole to get it back. The software seems to have been designed by these childish idiots who expect you to react at lightning speed (probably trained on games machines!) But it is cheap. You can't plug in your own headphones there is no 3.5mm jack socket only an LG supplied headset with an LG proprietary connector with ear thingys that keep falling out of my ears. Need I go on?

I've had the LG Cookie 501 on a deal from Orange for over 12 months now and it has mostly driven me mad! It had had to go back for repair as it completely stopped once, but that side is working again. The speed of use is the really annoying thing as it takes much to long to react to the commands... which if you are in a bit of a hurry is infuriating. Also there seems to be no logic in the way it stores contacts. If you have someone on the phone and the sim, (for backup) it will receive two messages from that contact. I dont like it, or trust it, the battery life is appaulingly short, and I'm jealous of those with an iphone!

I had this phone 3 months and started having problems with it. The problems started with being unable to send and receive texts. Within days the phone started to "pocket dial" numbers in my address book, begin playing music and did not allow me to call out on several occasions. I was not happy with the tech support as each time I called, I got a different person with a different idea as to what was wrong. After almost 3 weeks I requested a new phone or I would cancel the account.

I found that the LG Cookie is an awful phone. It's always getting cheaper and cheaper and there is a reason - it's not worth more than a tenner! I had an LG Cookie for just under a year before the inside charging port wore away, and wouldn't charge at all. I then had it replaced by another LG Cookie because there was no other phone that I could afford at the time and it was a waste of money! I had problems with LG not repairing or replacing my phone and went through too much hassle for nothing. My second LG Cookie turns itself off whenever you tap it, or slightly knock it. I've had this phone a few months. The battery life is disappointing and sometimes I charge my phone late at night and by mid morning the battery has died. It also turns itself on if you don't take the battery out when you turn your phone off. There are much, much better phones than this!

To be honest, I thought the LG Cookie was good at first but then I found it getting boring and bad. The reason for that is if you drop the mobile phone it can scratch easy.

Another friend of mine had it for less than half a year and then she drooped it on a wooden floor and the inside scream cracked!

I have this phone in Pink and I got it in Summer 2010 because three friends of mine had this phone. I really loved it. It was so cool, my favourite feature was drawing panel. You can use your finger or the supplied stylus to write and draw on your screen. The camera is only 3.2 megapixels, but is reasonable. I don't like the phone as much as I did because I am getting older and I am into more modern things such as texting and calling, and now I am desperate for the Apple iPad However, this phone is really good and I recommend it to people who love to have fun.

Hi everyone We sell approx. 3000 of these phones per month, and over 3/4 of buyers are impressed with this phone. The other 1/4 of buyers return and/or refund their phones for many reasons, including (as in these reviews) nightmare text messaging and words in the dictionary. We asked a member of staff if he would take one of these phones for his daughter's 13th Birthday, and he agreed to do so. We asked his daughter to review the phone and she described the phone as 'being an outstanding creation with lots of fantastic features' she said the phone was easy to use and fun and her favourite feature was Drawing Panel. She did fancy lettering on the software, and she particularly liked connecting the phone to her Windows Vista laptop, which she also received as a birthday gift. She used the 3.2 megapixels camera that is built into the phone to take pictures and record videos and she uploaded them through LG PC Suite to her documents on the laptop, and to the internet. If you choose this phone you receive the following features: The phone (with stylus) Phone manuals (2x) (+network user guide) 1x top up card 1x USB Cable 1x PC Suite download disk Remember that you can check the user manual for instructions on connecting your mobile phone to a computer. -If you choose your phone on Orange, you get the opportunity to choose an animal package (see Animal Package leaflet in box) Each animal represents a reward e.g Dolphin: free internet and 300 free texts. However, to enable this, call the number shown and choose your package. REQUIRES MONTHLY £10 TOP UP Get a £10 top up free in the box with your phone, only on Orange. Each phone comes with a 'backing' (stickers on the back of your phone) One sticker will be located on the upper half of your phone, and another over the camera. These stickers are removable and do not leave marks after removal. This phone is rated 4* on average, but as an individual staff member this should be 5*

My LG COOKIE KP500 was the worst buy of my life! Crashed all the time and after 6 months of ownership the inner screen cracked (outer screen not damaged)without me even touching it at time!Seems to be a common problem with this phone so WOULD STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND buying one.

What an appalling phone. This piece of rubbish has a lock so poor a slight breeze will unlock it and make enough calls to bankrupt you. Then of course there is the 'limit of application reached' notification that comes on all the time and you have to reboot the phone. The camera is poor as is the predictive text. Do yourself a favour and use it as a doorstop BUT take the sim,card out or it will merrily make hundreds of calls an your behalf and then make you pay for them.

The only thing I don't like is it switches off automatically and when on the internet you're browsing or downloading it just swithces off automatically and while you're downloading there are loads of communictaion errors so overall I guess it's an ok phone.

I think that if you're just looking for a cheap phone to make a phone call here and there and a text then this is definitely the wrong choice I would go for a Nokia! If you wanted to uses as a technical phone then to be honest it isn't actually that good the internet is really hard to use and the calibration uncalibrated very easily and when you got to the side for the full key pad then the keys are hard to touch the right one! For a simple phone a Nokia, a technical I would say iphone maybe! On the other hand this is perfect for children! It's a touch screen with ALL the features they would like:- Drawing panel, internet, easy access gallery, Shortcuts, Alarms (Play even when you turn it off!), Two accessible pages for you to put pics on for your friends to see, Camera 3.0 magapixels! And plenty more! This phone is excellent value! NIce and cheap if parents are getting it for children!! :D x

LG never was a mobile phone maker and they have all hardware and software engineering problems. They are loosing the market progressively, as they experiment customer's money for making a better mobile and not their own engineering...!! I had two bad experiences and I couldn't do anything about it. I never heard that this could happen with Nokia or Samsun products... I'm frustrated and I truly think that they have to stop making mobile phone... They have to leave job to the companies who are able to handle it. Who leaves the job of a mason to a plumber? Of course LG...!!
