LG Mobile is the first one to introduce an affordable, full touchscreen phone in the market. Banking on the popularity of touchscreen devices and marketing it to folks with a limited budget, LG is poised to grab a segment that might just bite the cookie.
Make and Construction
The LG Cookie is surprisingly thin and light, maybe because it’s made up of lightweight plastic all over (yet, doesn’t look cheap or ugly). It’s probably one of the lightest phone ever (comparable to the old generation Nokia 8210) for its size. Fits snugly in the palm of the hand.
The front side, just below the screen, has three equally-sized buttons with specific functions – one for the phone menu, the middle for the favorited and running applications and the right-most button for the home screen and power button.
On the right side, you have the microSD expansion slot, the dedicated camera button and a screen-lock button. The left side has the volume control and audio/power USB port.
Plain and Simple
The LG Cookie doesn’t pack enough features that would attract those who want good wireless connectivity on their phone. The absence of WiFi and 3G connectivity was a huge sacrifice and will turn-off people who expects them as a staple feature on high-end mobile phones.
Â
However, the LG Cookie is actually not a high-end phone but a mid-level one so you don’t line it up against the likes of the Omnia, iPhone or XPeria. It’s an entirely new model in a segment that has no counterpart with other brands. As such, we’ll look at the phone and focus on its main selling point – the touch screen interface.
The Flash UI
The biggest selling point of the LG Cookie, aside from the price-point, is the touch screen interface. It’s very responsive, without any noticeable delays, and applications launch quite fast .
LG did a good job with the user interface of the LG Cookie. The main panel displays widgets you can drag around the screen as well as hide or add new widgets. The widgets serve as a launching point to frequently-used functions – photogallery, contacts, music player, clock or calendar.
The phone comes with a small stylus tucked at the bottom part which you can use when needed. However, I didn’t find much need for it since you can easily navigate around using your fingers. The only time I used the stylus is when I use the keyboard horizontally and because the phone has haptic feedback, even the non-qwerty keyboard is much easier to use than expected.
Â
The Quirks
There were several minor functions that I find a bit jarring at the least. One is the audio jack which I don’t really recognize – it shares the same port as the USB power but it’s not the usual microUSB either. I think it’s a proprietary port that’s exclusive to LG phones. That means you can’t hook up a regular 2.5mm or 3.5mm jack into it.
The 3.0MP camera takes grainy photos even with sufficient ambient light. Didn’t upload the pictures i took because they’re not that good at all.
Conclusion
Despite its shortcomings, I think the LG Cookie makes up for a good touch screen phone. It doesn’t have the best touch UI we’ve seen or used but it has great promise. Add that to the fact that it’s priced very affordably (SRP at Php11,900), people looking for an alternative touch screen phone will enjoy using the LG Cookie and offers great value at its price-point. LG should have more trust on their flash UI with the touch screen – I believe it is good enough for the user to ditch the stylus.
I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post.
They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
I am using LGKP500. Naka 3 years na LG kp500 ko. nagun lang nagloko nung nahulog sa tubig pero madaming beses na itong nalaglag sa taas na kulang kulang na 2 meters. Napakatibay talaga nito. I lang beses ko na din itong nerestore sa factory setting kasi navivirus pero ok pa din.Nagkaron lang ng deperensya ngaun ung flex connector kasi nabasa pero nagagamit ko pa din.
MATIBAY TALAGA ITO. naitapon ko pa nga itong cp na ito pero ok pa din.
The battery is not durable and it is slow in browsing.. :(
Bought this phone for my wife a few years back. great starter phone. But compared with the phones in today’s market, it is outdated.
PLease help me, panu iset-up and internet connection sa LG KP500 cookie? ayaw kasi gumana sa smart ee. Panu ba to? please email me naman.. soon as possible. thanks! ^_^
Baket gnun ayaw ayaw mwla ung message sending failed sa C.P kuh…bakit ganun plsss Help nyo n man aku kung panu mawa2la un…ka asar kc…..
good review. i like my new cookie phone. easy to use, practical, it’s easy to manuever around and the web browser and email are great for playing around and helping me keep up on my business. great unlocked cell phones. my wife and son loves theirs for the facebook and games and the apps are graet too. it feels great in your pocket and the screen is really responsive. much better than our old unlocked htc phones. simple to use, love them. also the speaker phone is really loud and the apps are great for everything, business and pleasure. also got our htc unlock codes and cell phone unlocking for free! got our last couple cookies at unlockthatphone.com 2 thumbs way up
Madaming bug ang LG cookies, isa na dito ang ramdon restart, some apps causes the mobile stop working (specially the calendar). LG didn’t do anything to fix the bug, swerte mo na lang kung valid pa ang warranty mo papalitan nila ng bagong unit, at kung nawala mo ang warranty card mo, sorry goodbye sa 11K. hehehe yung LG cookie ko binalibag ko sa sobrang asar ko.
kung gusto nyo ng QWERTY and touch screen phone, wag ito. madaming iba dyan.
i just bought my cookie last year…my phone warranty is already done and sad thing about it…suddenly my touch screen panel crushed down..huhuhu…In one year of using my phone i haven’t encounter any defect or any malfunction..just recently!!!super badtrip…!!!!
Kabibili ko lang noong isang linggo yung akin, ok naman siya. Pero kumpara nga sa Nokia at Samsung, less sensitive ito.
Sa ngayon, di ko naman nae-experience yung pag-hang/restart niya. Palagay ko dahil lang ata sa memory na kinakain niya. Try niyo maglagay ng malaki-laking memory card (malaki yung inilagay ko).
niregaluhan ako ng lg kp500 ng sister ko noong december 2009. she bought it from singapore and so far ok naman siya very handy and never ko pa naman naexperience biglang magreset yung phone.
can anyone help me kung pde ba maginstall ng theme sa lg kp500? so far meron akong nakikita kaso once na may mali kang nagawa di na daw sya mag-on and for me complicated yung instructions and meron din naman nagclaim na di daw pde lagyan ng theme to. im confused. can anyone help me?
which one is better samsung corby or lg cookie?
i’m selling out my LG KP500 for only Php 7500, complete package. i’ve only used it for two months.. i really needed money that’s why i’m selling it. i bought this for 11000 but since i needed the money very soon i deducted high. Contact me at 091647***** thanx!

@cute chinese guy, after my post here about LG Cookie, mejo um-ok ung phone ko. di ko nga lam kug bakit di na siya nagre-restart tulad ng dati e.:) i don’t know kung bat bigla na lang siya nagre-restart kahit di ko ginagalaw.
Hello Guys! =)
I read a while ago your comments, so how’s LG Cookie?
What’s with the “RESTARTING” issue?
I am planning to buy an LG Cookie.
Do you think LG Cookie is better than Samsung Corby?
Thanks for those who will reply! =)
PS: I was robbed kasi sa may Katipunan. So I need to buy a new one, kahit di na siya Wifi ready. =( sayang pa naman dahil maraming Wifi connections sa Ateneo de Manila Univ. HAHAHA
superpawerr,
San mo po nabili yun? P6,500? Nasa 8k+ kasi nakikita ko sa internet, madalang ako makakita ng LG phones sa mga cellphone stalls sa mall eh.
Matagal ko narin hinihintay bumaba yung price nito, hehe! Hindi kasi afford yung release ng nokia, 5800 etc. ang hirap ng buhay college :D
i bought mine (LG KP500) for only 6,500.00 brand new and 1year service warranty guaranteed! ;)
the only problem (so far) that i encountered was it hangs up while taking some pictures. i tried to turn it off using the main switch but it does not work!so i decided to pull out the battery..
i hope that would be the last time. but OVER ALL, THE PHONE IS GREAT. VERY CHEAP FOR A TOUCH PHONE THINGY: the music, radio, the touch screen itself, games, messaging, etc.
IN TERMS OF CAMERA,i am quite disappointed because it seems that it is not 3.0 megapixel. it is kinda blurry and a big NO in dark places ‘coz it has no flash. But, “pwede na” especially when u have already digital camera. :)
so, buy it! it is OK :D
How can i deactivate my sent messages in saving on the “sent messages box”? There’s no setting naman on the message settings for this that I can find…pls. help….
i have the LG KP500 phone for a year and for the rating, mga 7 lang out of 10. ok naman sana yung features nya pero lagi nagrerestart! nakakainis! sayang pa naman ung pera ko dito. :( tapos di ma-detect ng pc ko na me nakakabit na usb ng phone ko….haayyy….
ala po ba yang web?wifi?na mgco2nect thru internet
ala nbang tawad un just txt me 090647*****………………
bi2lihn ko sana ……im here in bulacan

off*
got my LG KP500 Cookie a day ago, gift sakin ng daddy ko, hmm, just wish it woulnt turn of/restart by itself. ok lang din walang 3G, wala naman kwenta 3g. sa wifi issue, though its handy if it has, i have my net at home and a communicator as well, so got no problem connecting on the web. responsive touchscreen, nice sleek design. i’d rate it 8.5 out of 10, i loooove “message received”.lol
onga pla, camera issue is not a problem if you have a nice digicam. you can sync it to your pc and just save it on the phone.
i bought mine last Christmas. But around June it was not working so well. It suddenly turns off when i’m sending group messages, then turns on again. i tried to look for the messages that i was about to send, in the drafts, outbox, sent items, but as if i didn’t compose a message. then one time, while my classmate was playing it, it suddenly turns off, it was a bit embarrassing. Then yesterday, someone was calling me, when i was about to answer it, my phone suddenly shuts off. But i swear, the battery was definitely full. And after opening my phone, everything changed, as if it was brand new. My settings were all lost. Such a disappointment.
I should have made a better choice.
That’s why i’m planning to buy sony ericsson t707(is it already out in the philippines?).
piste mu….,walang hiya….hahahah…fuck u
guyz meron akong nabasa sa isang site na sinasabi na kaya daw nag rerestart 0r namamatay is because meron xiang settings na auto off na nakaka save ng battery pero pwede mo nman daw yun alisin if u want.
I just got mine last week so far so good.:-) I hope it wont affect of so called bug..:-0
hi i have lg arena and lg cookie its very beutiful

i got mine last may 28 from memoxpres MOA. not even 2 months the shutdown restart problem came in. i took it back to the store where i bought it and they had it fixed by their LG authorized service at SM MegaMall. 9days later the phone was returned to me with an upgraded firmware from V10b to V10d. they said, that will fix the issue.
not even a day of its use after the firmware upgrade, it was so funny because you cant read clearly almost everything. check this out, the icon description has either missing letters, mixed up letters, or both…haha. another thing, when you check your sms from any folders, you’ll be surpised to see the same problem. you cant even read those messages. and heres more….start composing an sms using the horizontal keyboard and you’ll find also the keys for many of its letters blank…haha…you should see these man……darn crazy displays dude.
i liked this phone a lot when i saw it from a TV ad. too bad it has problems like this.
i contacted LG online support but i think it cant help to resolve the issue. Online support is a BPO (call center agent support) and is not capable of making decisions to resolve issues like this.
for me, i dont mind getting a fresh replacement as long as they fix the darn problem right. the problem is, LG Philippines is not too supportive, i must say, they tend to be more of evasive rather.
on the day i returned again the phone to the store (MX MOA) incidentally, an LG salesman was there and i took that chance to ask the guy if there are issues on their cookie. i just thought, since that dude works for LG, he can help me get this thing elevated to the one in charge of customer issues but according to him, “its an issue that he is not even aware of. he even dont know who from LG takes care of customer issues.” hahahah…..what an absolute liar (possibly) i must say.
comming from an ISO9001 certified company and with their phlosophy of providing support and listening to their customers (you should see their web page saying these), i believe they are not keeping it up with their sworn commitment. check this out at
http://www.lge.com/ae/support/index.jsp?countryCd=ae
ok, so much for that. 3days after i took the phone back to the store (august 28, 2009) i was advised by Mega Mall MX service that the need to replace the main board. hahah….i told them, you rip the board off, that means you need to remove again a lot of screws, the LCD, the camera…etc, etc.
what the heck, i bought a brand new phone at its price. Now, i’m about to own a phone that is not even two months being used, spent 1 month of its time at a service center and guess what, the phone is torn down dissasembled many times.
i am trying to demand from LG Phils to either replace my phone to a fresh, bug free, firmware updated cookie unit. otherwise, i think i deserve a full refund.
i’ll update this comment as soon as this thing either gets ignored ore gets resolved.
stay tuned guys, hold your decisions on buying this one before you get pissed off with the same problems.
and for those who have not encountered this problem, i wish i was the same lucky guy like you who got a good unit. like you, i also like this phone even if it does not have a wifi or a lousy camera. the thing is, i still do like this phone, i just dont like the one i got. :o)
if only i could put attachment to this message, you’ll see what i meant when i said, letters from words either gets mixed up or gets missing or both….

pwede ba gamitin yung sun broadband sim dito para makapag internet,nakakapag download ba dito ng mga movies direct sa internet?
Hi everyone…Please help me with my problem..
I have an LG KP500,but I can’t received MMS..
Based on reviews mukhang maganda naman na itong phone na ito kasi nga touchscreen na pang-masa. Mapagtitiisan ko na even without the wifi kasi naka-router naman ako sa house. kahit sa psp na lang ako magwa-wifi. Ok lang kahit walang 3G. Naka-N70 music edition ako noon kaso di ko rin nagamit yung 3G function niya.
For a student like me, OK na ito sa akin knowing na mura na ito dito sa Baguio. Sa SM, Php9,000-10,000 na lang ang price range nito.
mapag-iipunan ko na to sa pasko!!!
My phone (V6 maxx) was snatched in Baguio last week so I decided to buy a new cellphone. I checked the web about cheap (below P12,000) and latest cps and found lg cookie and sony ericsson C510. I preferred SE c510 at first but when I’m in the store I landed buying LG Cookie instead at P10,000. It has the latest firmware so I never experienced the “restarting and resetting bug” as of yet. I managed to download and installed games, apps and wallpaper via mobile9.com and getjar.com and so far no problem. I was able to browse the internet but its a little expensive because of multitasking issue where in your connection intermittently log off when you leave the browser. My P100 load was gone for only 6 minutes of browsing including a couple of jar downloads.
It’s a nice cellphone and loving it. Could love it more kung merong wifi lol. Dahil plastic ang casing kailangan lang maging maingat dahil madaling magasgas. Yung camera ok naman pero di kasing ganda ng mga high end phones. Ok lang dahil meron naman akong digicam. Para lang siyang webcam na a4tech at walang autofocus. Playing sound is great. Meron siyang equalizer so pag nilagay sa rock ganda ng tunog sa earphone.
For unofficial support you can go to http://www.mylgcookie.com/.
How and reliable is the video clip recording with Cookie? Is there any problems with the clip length?
advanatge nga pala ng cookie very multitasking
you can browse internet while texting, or while doing soundtrip or using your favorite application or kahit sbay sabay lahat un
ang tendency, pag tumagal tagal
mejo magrerestart lang naman
sa smart users hirap gamitin z uzzap dahil it would log off everytime its interrupted
so another lig in
what are the interruptions
when you recieve a txt message
pag nalobat ka
pag nagmulti task ka
just to share my xp wid cookie
quite embarrassed yet its still an amazing phone
ang pangit nga dito sa cookie eh un ngang nagrereset,
marami siguro sa mga users nito n ktulad ko ang namumrublema sa housing nito
its very difficult to find its housing and its too late for them to produce silicon protection for it
luckily i found one at the fifth floor of sm annex
ang kaso,gulagulanit na housing ng sakin,napakalutong kasi ng housing ni cookie
tulong naman po
meron n po b s inyong nkpagpalit ng full housing ng cookie plz do email me if you can help
thank you

sir please help i’m torn between cookie or 360!w/c is better?
Hello i was thinking of buying this phone bug when i read some comments here i backed out and ended up buying samsung gt s5233s mas sulit mas mgnda pa sa cookie and been given outstanding review from uk…try nyo…the price ranges from 9,500 to 10thou…just google its full spec…i am writing this comment from my phone and been uploading pics directly from phone to websites…so cool
May updated version na po kaya ng cookie kaya mahal yung iba? How can I check that? Ang susungit kasi ng sales lady eh.
Bakit po yung ibang cookie 9,400.00 lang? Tapos yung iba, 12, 000.00? May difference po ba sila?
Hay, gustong-gusto ko pa naman sana bumili nito kasi mura, pero nagdadalawang isip na ko, kasi heavy phone user ako. baka madaling masira sakin yung cookie. hehe. wala po bang solution para sa rebooth/format problem ng phone na to?
thanks!
new comments Guys, negative or positive, can do!
I have a question.
I’m planning to buy this Cookie phone and I want to know if the phone really restarts itself and erases everything. Does it have themes? And does it have a lock/security code for my files, messages and log? I hope the one who’ll reply will be someone who has actually has a Cookie phone. Thanks :)

Hi sa lahat.. I bought this LG cookie here in saudi 2 weeks ago and it was so nice.. Theres no problem with the firmware & no restarting problem.. It’s really works great.
LG cookie is made from Korea and unlike other phone like N…. all of them was made from china. They’re telling you that it was made from germany, finland etc as you can see at the back of the phone.. But it’s not.. It was made from china.
I’d try to make a little changes with the my phone but not really reformatting the firmware.. Changing the look ika nga.. If somebody needs some help on how to use it or some question don’t hesitate to contact me on this review and post.
It is said to be fragile, Korean phone makers should care about the quality when they are making good looking products…
san maawa po kayo touchscreen nga cellphone ko pero china phone lang sana bigyan nyo ko ng lg cookie na cellphone
hi eugene!
uhm. di p ku nkkbili eh.
ngkaprob kasi dito sa bahay e. so nagamit ku ung
money for emergency.

hi guys,
Well i’m glad that bugs are resolved now. Can’t wait end of this month because i will buy this LG cookie on july 1. I will change my mobile phone from N5310 to LG cookie…
Really, really cool when i watched the demo video on youtube….I think it’s really depend on a user how he maintain it…..
Can’t sleep thinking of this mobile phone … :-)
I brought my LG cookie last March and as of today wala naman akong na encounter na problema,i am satisfied, and so happy happy that i took the risk.
Feel na feel ko talaga ang touch screen features nya.
hi julyn!=)
ano, nkabili kna?
dko sure gano ka sturdy ang cookie, kaya ng ddlawang isip din ako.
but according to lgcookiegal, mukhang ok sya.
sbi kasi ng cellphone tech, try to avoid thin phones daw kasi it has thin part inside, meaning, easy to break.
i have a 2yr old se k750, wala ako masabe sa tibay, dko na mabilang ang bagsak neto, naibato kpa minsan, wala padin naging problem sa system nya. its on par with the good old nokia 3210/5110 in terms of TIBAY.=P
kaya yun ang hinahanap ko sa mga new phones ngayon.
pero sana atleast hindi kasing fragile ng mga high end cellphones ang cookie.
hi LGCOOKIEGAL. :D
according kasi sa iba, ung mga bagong labas n LG Cookie, wla n raw bugs.
Yesterday, i went to Sm North to go canvass for its price range.
Pinakamababang was 9900. then meron rin ng-offer na 10000 na bagong labas
raw na pink na cookie. i’ll buy one this week. ayos lan nmn sakin ung features.
cguro ung life ng phone n ‘to dpends rin on the person using diba?
and i think n maalaga nmn ako sa cp. haha. ayos lan sakin kahit wlng
flash, what’s a digital camera for, diba? :) kung may digicam k nmn, edi un nln
gmitin to take pictures. :D
gustu ku rin kasi sana ung LG Renoir. kaso mahal e. but i like it because its 8MP.
pero kasi factor din kasi sakin ung price e. eh ang gusto ku lan nmn is to have a
FULL TouchScreen Phone . :D
My mom and several cousins owns an iphone. eh parang nasasayangan ako sa pera
if you would spend that much. so naicp kong LG cookie nlang. :D
ayos dito. :D may nakakausap ako about certain phones. hehe/
hi julyn!
uhm the lg cookie i have is one of the first na lumabas. yes it’s the one that has bugs. it was a gift for me this december 08. i have to say, madaming beses ko na siyang nabagsak, nabato na ng kapatid ko sa cement (of course accidental) pero it still works perfectly! haha. it’s lightweight and hindi madaling masira. promise. :) the only bug i have with mine is it resets completely. ung camera ok naman depende tlga sa lighting. im just frustrated it doesn’t carry a flash feature. but the rest it’s a really good phone. :)
I’m satisfied with this LG Cookie. rather than the iPhone. It’s still thesame. yun nga lang mas maganda features ng iPhone pero ok rin naman ang sa Cookie e. eto nga pinagigift ko sa kanila sa birthday ko e. HAHA. gusto ko talaga ng LG Cookie. promise. pero i’m not saying na ayoko ng iPhone. pero syempre mas gusto ko iPhone. bakit nga ba ang baba ng price ng LG Cookie. e maganda naman ang defenition and feutures nia.
nagtanong ako sa greenhills and binebenta nalng ito for only 7,500-8,000…mas mura kesa dun sa ads sa bulletin na 9,990 nlng daw because lg cookie is the best selling touch screen phone nitong first quarter ng taon…nag-iipon pa ako kaso i’m still confused kung ano ba talaga bibilhin ko…lg cookie or samsung 5230(star)which cost 10,450…help naman…salamatz!
to MANGRHEA:
i just want to ask one thing. sabi mu kasi, “cant zoom in ung videos”
anung ibig mung sabihin dun, u cant zoom while RECORDING a video or you can’t zoom while playing a previously recorded one?
ang alam ku kasi, kapag nagpe-play ka ng video, usually di nmn tlga pwede i-zoom diba?
ang alam ko mazu-zoom mo lan un hbng kumukuha ng vid.
to PRODIGAL…
havent used my cookie for 3 months na eh… cant zoom in ung videos nag.auto shutoff kgad.. such a waste talga. ok n ung mms/ gprs ko.. pero alang gana gmitin…hhmp
to EUGENE:
yea. thanks a lot. cookie rin kasi ung choice ku instead LG ks360.
i think i’ll buy one this june.
thanks a lot eugene. :D
one more thing, do full touchscreen phones last long?
di b madaling masira? :)
tnx again. :D
to JULYN:
heres the reviewof ks360
https://www.yugatech.com/blog/mobile/lg-ks360-review/
mag cookie ka nlang, wala na daw yung mga problems yung cookie, lalo na yung mga bagong labas, they already fixed the bugs…
9.6k nlang yan ngayon…
Anyone know where I can buy an LG ENV2 (maroon) cellphone here in the Philippines? Is there any store here that has an availability? :) Thanks much!
i just want to ask one more thing.

the two phones are both cheap. these two are only my choices because the prices is a big factor for me. can anyone help me pick between the two?
can someone also show me comparisons between the two phone so i can easily decide.
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eh kasi, im planning to buy LG KP500 since its full touchscreen and so cheap. for me, it doesn’t matter if it has no 3g or wifi.

@ayman – I suggest you bring your unit to an LG authorized service center. I think your phone needs to be upgraded. LG has released a new software version to make LG Cookie operates better. If your unit is still under warranty, service is free of charge. Just bring your OReceipt. Hope this helps.
my phone cant boot why its just display lg
my cant boot why its just display lg
its stylish…. it is great to use….. but tanung ku lang tatagal ba ang mga cellphone na TOUCH SCREEN…….. iphone alam ku tatagal un….. kse iphone is the first cellphone invention na TOUCH SCREEN…..
It’s a pretty nice phone for it’s price point really. I bought one for my wife and the touch interface is very responsive, real easy to use with a great form factor. Compared to my old phone(Omnia), this is more responsive. Except for the original firmware, lots of bugs! Compared to a 5800 though, I’d rather spend the little extra $$$!
remove battery and sim then try to open again, it takes time to reboot cookie, just wait for about 30 sec without touching any keys after seeing the lg logo. Btw, what have you done from your phone before?
jhabo****@****.*** e-add k0..i nid your help badly.
prodigal can you help me..asap tnx for your c0ncern!
when i tried to open up my kp500..the lg logo was the only one seen from the screen and when i try to turn off my phone the keys does not response,the battery should took first to turn it off..i think my phone is freeze-up..what should i do? please help me asap!

TELIO T (LG KP500)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
it had an issue of restarting and resetting before, then they released software update to get rid of the restarting issue and the calculator glitch. And the good news is, if you will buy now, i think software has already been upgraded
hi!,,
can anyone give me some suggestions && opinions
of buying this phone???
is it really true that it’s restarting by itself??
and change all the settings??
please i need ur help guys…tnx,,
you should give this phone a chance,… i bought one… kasi i had my QIB and some savings from my work and one of my co-employees ask us to accompany him to greenhills to buy E63/ E71 phone.. i saw the Nokia 5800 touch screen first and dahil friend ko sya i let him nalang buy it… after 2 days i went to the mall.. i saw this LG cookie in a nearby stall then… poommmmmm… Ayun parang pareho lang kami ng friend ko “si madam red” ok namn
ahhh! whats with LGs marketing dept? the TVC used to promote LG cookie here in Phil is so bland.
I saw Korea’s LG Cyon’s TVC and i could say its more appealing. To think, they have the refreshing face of Kim Tae Hee to sell their units. Why not use the same material here? Other asian countries like Hongkong is doing so. For sure it will somehow impact ur sales.

hat jemand ne ahnung ob bei dem handy die speicherkarte automatisch beim kauf dabei ist – wenn ja wie groß ist die speicherkarte ?
schreibt doch bitte mal.
kanina nasa mall ako para mag”hunt” ng phone, nakuha nito yung attention ko kasi very affordable,
kaya lang medyo NEGATIVE ata yung comments kaya nagdadalawang isip ako..tsk tsk
e yung nokia e67
yung LG ks360?
wat can yu say?
to mangrhea, what happened to your cookie?? could you post?
oo nga update lang ng firmware yan.. baligtad pa yung snake sa snake and ladder.. di ayos ang program.. hahaha
wala nang restarting problem since nagupdate ng firmware. OK na OK yung speakers nya malakas pa dun sa E51 ng Nokia. Earphones are better than iPod’s.

Ang weird ng cookie,bumili yung sister ko,walang wifi,tapos masyadong common yung features nya,yung cam pa walang flash.mas ok pa kung mag sciphone na lang mas mura pa.hehehe…
i have a old slither and my contract is about to run out what phone should i get ? i like the htc touch screen and the iphone which one should i get?
SAYANG LANG PERA KUH! better stick to mah old phone… stick to ericson nlng.. haiiiiiii diko n gnagmit ung cookie now… kainis!
BETTER TO BUY 5800 EXPRESS MUSIC AND IT IS ENOUGH FOR A CHILD LIKE ME………
HELLOO GUYZ…… I BOUGHT THIS COOKIE BEFORE 3 OR 4 WEEKS AGO…. THIS PHONE HAVE ONLY ONE SMALL
SPEAKER AND SOUND IS LITTLE.THE CAMERA IS TOO BAD WITHOUT FLASH AND AUTOFOCUS…
IT DOESN’T HAVE 3G OR WIFI.THE ACCESORIES SUCH AS HEARPHONE IS VERY CHEAP ,WHEN WE PLAY A SONG WITH THIS HEARPHONE IT HEAR OUTSIDE.THE INTERNAL MEMORY IS 48 AND WE GET 1 GB MICRO SD WITH IT.THE MAIN THING IS CAMERA DOESNT HAVE ZOOMING AND THERE IS NO THEMES FOR THIS PHONE ,IT HAVE ONLY WALLPAPER.WE CANT FIND IT’S APPLICATION IS ONLY IN LG SITE.I BOUGHT IT BEFORE 4 WEEKS TILL NOW I COULDNT FIND ANY APPLICATION OR GAMES FOR THIS.
IF ANY ONE CAN FIND IT HELP ME KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Now i have really second ‘tot’ on buying this phone after reading all the bug problem comments.
may pang-tapat daw ang SAMSUNG dito: Samsung S5600
to be released soon…
damn! i regret buyin diz phone na! not a user friendly tlga! hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
preferably P990i of ericson
ang mahaaaall. 11 thousand. =[
Dito sa America, mahal na yan eh. parang $200+ yung phone na yan.
Kung eto o blackberry storm, pipiliin ko blackberry storm kasi yun yung akin. hahah.
Ang mamahal ng phonee na pala sa Philippines.
I’m just saying, if I had an Iphone, I would trade it for a Blackberry Storm. You guys should buy a Storm. I mean, it’s hard to use it at first, but you’ll get used to it. I bought mine two days ago, I’m comfortable using it. I didn’t have to read the manual. Probably it was easier for me to figure it out because my dad had a blackberry. It’s like blackberry 8830.
My only concern is that in the Philippines, you guys have way more expensive phones that we do in here, in the States. I mean, the newest and the chicest phones here are only like $300. But this phone right here, I don’t know. I wouldn’t buy it myself.
Hmm. very nice phone! I ‘ll buy one this summer.I’ve seen it in Zamboanga City.Yap!
i got this at the price of 10k :)
It would be great if they launch something that’s within the Cookie’s price point, but with Wi-Fi. The screen would really be put to good use with that.
Anyhow, I’m really in deep thought of buying one. However, seeing that the reception of the cheap touchscreen phone is good, it won’t be long ’til they launch something a little better to target yet again the budget conscious Filipino. So I guess I’d have to wait for that one ^_^
Nice one LG! Keep ’em coming.
im still confused.. i have two choices.. N5800 and LG Cookie..
My first choice is N5800.
The downside of the N5800 is it has premature touch screen.. its not responsive…
LG cookie no wifi/3g, but i dont think i use will wifi phones in surfing the net.. i use my laptop to surf. Wifi phones is only good if you dont have a laptop.
What do you think guys? I will go for the cookie?
or not to buy at all nlang cguro.. and wait for N97…
:)
i love it much coz i got one no problem…. my clazm8 has an i phone but rather she says, she likes my phone OMG.. LOL
i received lg cookie as a gift last christmas. there was this one time where it restarted in the middle of my use and everything was erased and all settings went back to default.. now there are times when it reboots itself pero ung settings not like last time are still the same di na sya nababago. by this time does LG have a solution/ explanation to this? thanks..
anyway. this phone is great for teens even though the camera is not that good. pwede nmn pagtiyagaan. the speaker is really good, it has a high memory storage, easy to use, very wide screen, attractive, sleek, and elegant design, very light and compact. one of the best gifts ever. ;)
the features of this phone is very practical and very affordable. im planning to have one and im still confused if i’ll buy this lg-kp500-cookie or the sony ericsson c905.

hey! do hav problem naman how to set my MMS for LG KP500.. panu buh? help help help
I think may LG Service Center sa Pasay [Legaspi, I think] and may latest firmware sila dun. They’ll do it for free. yung address sa manual ng LG Cookie ayun yung address ng LG Service Center.
Are there downloadable applications for this phone?
daman dude, nkapunta ka nb sa LG service center? possible kaya na kumuha ng firmware sa kanila?
but it crashes/restarts frequently, is there any service center in laguna areas? LG Service center
I think nagrestart yung phone ko once already but after that hindi pa naulit pero yun lang and settings are still the same. Ok pa rin yung mga messages ko. But I’ll be bringing this this friday to LG customer service office para macheck na nila.
Bought it 3 days ago sa Sta. Lucia, brand new with one year manufacturer’s warranty for Php 11,000 only then add Php 500 for a 2GB microSD card. Kung hindi lang ako magaling tumawad, Php 12,000 sana kuha ko and Php 700 for the miniSD :D What a bargain, huh? :D
No need for stylus…Never used it…kapa kapa at sanayan lang sa simula tapos ok na :D
i just bought the LG cookie last december but unfortunately i have lost my stylus(red color) just this morning… can you help me where to buy one? thanks..best regards and God bless
@rosalie – I think you can buy a replacement from the store you bought it from.
Really who uses wi-fi at home on their phone??? Or even on the office for that matter???
i just bought the lg cookie jan 3… ganun din nangyayari sakin, nagrerestart yung fone lagi….. nag restart na din ako ng fone… kung mapapansin nyo.. ayaw ma delete yung nasa outbox or nde cya ma move sa draft… it will keep on sending… kung nde mo cya mapapasin… yun siguro ang isang cause ng pag restart lagi…
Solution: install lg pc suit… tapos dun kayo sa messages.. mejo matagal binasa yung fone ko.. pero try nyo lang lagi… dun nyo i delete yung message sa outbox.
inoobserbahan ko pa cya… pero buong maghapon na cya ok hopefully… nde na cya nagrerestart. hope this will help.

Bought this as a gift for myself last Dec. 24, only downsides are, battery juice runs out fast,no wifi or 3G, camera and video is quite poor during night or dark scenes, no 3.5mm stero headphone jack and the other features are excellent, Price Php 11,990 at SM City Iloilo.
I got one for myself as a gift to me! I have to say, for as long as it is of use to you and it fits your life, then go for it. Not withstanding the price which is probably one of its best feature, and that it lacks the pre-requisite high end features(wi-fi, 3G, etc) of your more expensive phones, it does the job for me. Plus it handles pretty well and looks darned great!
I say buy it because its what you need and what you genuinely like!
LG Cookie is perfect for teens….
aabangan ko ang LG Cookie 3G habang ineenjoy lo ang aking bagong Nokia N85!
I got mine last Christmas..Its worth it for the price of 11.5k memory card not included.One problem lately is that it keeps on rebooting itself kaya parang gusto ko nang isoli ito..Aksaya pa sya sa load kc dapat up to 160 characters lang per message or it will be sent into multiple messages depending on the lenth of your message.
Recently bought the phone as well, since my GF urged me to. I agree with the author na for the price, IT IS good enough na. The pictures are a bit grainy, for me though texting horizontally with my big fingers was easy after using it several times.
Hope there are 3rd party apps for this, would make its value much higher. WIFI could have made this the phone to get with its big screen.
Cheers.
I just bought it for 12,900php, sans the mmc…Love the draggable widgets! responsive din sya, kung mabigat daliri mo tlagang mahihirapan ka! haha! you just need to press it lightly when typing sms…
naiinis lang ako dahil yung welcome screen at goodbye screen inde na didisable.
Maganda rin games nya, you can play snakes and ladders… wala pa ako masyado madownload na games kasi bago pa lang siya…
Yung camera okey din.3mp lang but its good enough! ^^ Pwede ka mag edit.
But mron ata problema sa firmware version nila ngayon, kp500at_v10c, twice na nagmamanual restart un sakin, siguro overuse lang… i tried resetting the phone, and since then d na sya nagrerestart…
Badtrip tong Cookie phone lagi nag re restart! wag kayong bumili sa Globotel Greenbelt, Market-Market at iba pang branches lahat ng units dun mga bukas na tapos puro gamit na ang ibibigay sayo. Ang reason naman nila is to test daw pero kulang kulang na pala at used na..
Nakabili ako ng LG KP500 na cellphone dito sa Taiwan, ngayun ang problema walang English na manual..Can you help me find a link to download the manual..Thanks…….
@mangrhea
scroll mo lng ung screen to the left or right. kc 2 ung screen option nya, isa for speed dial and for widget. hope this will help
hope hear feedbacks from lg-pipol…super sooon am freakin out n kac…
plzzz help how to change my widget! dati nasa widget idle tas bigla nlng ngspeed dial idle… so so hard flicking it… sabi sa manual juz flick it to change til now di pArin bumabalik sa dati… plz help me.. am freaking out n kac… grrrr

Hey. anyone know how to set up GPRS and MMS Manually? Yung automatic setting that came with my sim TouchMobile is not working…
already got one a few weeks ago. ok naman sana kaya lang bigla na lang nagrerestart. nabasa ko din sa ibang comments, ganun din nangyayari sa kanila =( hay that’s what you get pag nagkukuripot ka :( LOL
just bought lg kp500 2 days ago… mukhang ok naman kasi very handy talaga and ang important naman kasi sakin eh for calling texting and some musics and pics.. pwd ka din mag video… un nga lang wala tlaga wifi at hindi 3g.. anyways, if u hav naman broadband sa house and office sa tingin ko dna need un..
Super easy to use, and nakakatuwa kc before, pinagpipilian ko ung iphone at Samsung F480. its a mix of iphone and f480. iphone has accelerometer, f480 has widgets. and ok din ung cam sa 3megapix, ok din ang video nya., may movie maker pa! and nakakaaliw ung games, kc u hv 2 shake d fone!! im so glad i got this. gift q sa sarili q! hehehe :)
I just bought mine sa ephone @ southmall!!! i Loove it!! wla akong nega comments on this fone. itz budget friendly & user friendly., sulit na sulit sa 11,700.:)
LG Cookie is a great looking fone,but the downside is the bugs,it randomly resets and erased your files…so think twice before you spend your money on this phone,not until Lg Realeses a software to fix this bugs,all in all its a nice and cheap touch screen phone.
My wife and I just bought the LG Cookie before Christmas. Was quite satisfied with it until it would randomly reset, clearing all settings including text messages. It has happened to my phone about 4 times already. My wife’s phone also reset one time while using it. I called up LG about and was advised to bring the units to their Pasig office for a check-up. We’ll be going to LG today and hopefully they’ll be able to do something about this. Sayang naman kung ganito ang mangyayari sa phone ko every now and then. Paano kung may mga important messages ka (which is very probable) and they are suddenly deleted?
hello!!
sa mga bumili, gusto ko lng malaman… mahirap bang gamitin??
gusto ko rin sana nito pero natatakot akong bumili…
ok na review mo abe. complete na. no need to create one myself :P
jayson, meron na yan sa mga malls. SM Megamall cyberzone meron na doon. check mo na lang mga shops.
maybe LG will release a cookie version 2.0 with wifi… :p
dami nyo pang sinabi at hinahanap. kaya nga mura eh. basta ako bibili.
ei.san available yan lg cookie dito sa pampanga area? where can i buy it? or kahit sa manila pupunta ako…? I will give it as a gift….eerrr
gift for myself hehehe for all the hard work on my homebased job hehehe. really attractive and affordable phone.. I don’t mind na wala xang wifi and 3g…anyways kc bulok naman 3g at internet sa pinas hahaha just my two centavo…hehe
oh info naman where to buy it oh…plzzz..thanx
advance merry xmas..
opps typo,
why not put wifi and 3g and sell it for about 15k I think people will still buy it
Why not put wifi and 3g I think people will still buy it
i love the look but i’m not into the techie side talaga. i value practicality than trends. :)
i hope they release a more powerful version,
with wifi & a 5mp camera, tapos price is around 18K.
now that’s a sure hit!!
sayang walang wifi… the wifi feature will make the difference… IMHO
Cookie is a good buy for me if only they didn’t ditched wifi out. So I guess I’ll go for e63.
I would buy this phone were it not for the omission of wifi. I use wifi at home and at the office, so the omission of this feature is a great disadvantage for the Cookie. As it is, I’m now looking at either the E63 or the Nokia 5800 even if they’re more expensive specifically because of wifi.
very affordable nga, para dun sa mga gusto ng touch screen phones.
“However, I didn’t find much need for it sense [sic] you can easily navigate around using your fingers.”
Typo abe..
*since
ano kaya mas maganda? e63 o ang cookie?
I like how part of the side panel is colored red. The phone looks nifty! Those who want the touchscreen experience (but not too techy as to require an Experia) can consider the Cookie.
ok yan sa amin mga MASA paranaman makaexperience din kami ng TOUCH SCREEN po with QWERTY keypad. astig na yan,,, di kasi naman kaya bumili ng mga MAMAHALING ibang BRAND. pang MASA talaga yan. Especially now adays…
