LG KP500.. LG’s new Cookie
LG mobile will be releasing a high end, full touch screen phone with a big possibility of being the one of the cheapest touch screen phones in the market today.
Its the LG KP500.. or simply.. the LG Cookie.
It boasts of a 11.9mm slim full touch screen with embedded stylus pen, the 3” wide display, motion sensor game and handwriting features.
More of its features after the break.
3″ Full touch screen
The 3.0 inch wide full touch screen is more screen “real estate” to better enjoy watching videos, playing games, and looking at photos. Bigger is better and that also makes it easier to use by physical touch since larger icons are easier to navigate than smaller ones.
Active flash UI
The user interface is so intuitive that users will want to explore and master all of the functions and features of the LG-KP500. The UI allows users to access menus easily and shift around other menus simply and quickly with just one touch.
Handwriting & Editing
The easy-to-use smart handwriting recognition function of the LG-KP500 allows users to send text messages without using the touch keyboard. It is possible to write in complicated languages such as Chinese. In the photo mode, users can easily edit their photos with the stylus pen.
Motion sensor game
Using advanced motion sensor technology, the LG-KP500 adds more fun interactivity to games so users can enjoy mobile entertainment in a more dynamic and exciting way.
The games loaded on the LG-KP500 use a motion sensor that requires the user’s eye-hand coordination to balance, flip, shift, and twist the handset to play the games.
Auto rotating display
The QWERTY onscreen keyboard slides into view when the LG-KP500 is held horizontally, and the auto rotating display always shifts images or documents for proper viewing no matter which way the handset is turned.
Embedded stylus pen
Since the stylus is embedded in the handset, the user instantly write a memo or edit a photo without having to search around for the stylus pen which often gets lost or misplaced.
The appearance of the phone is not sacrificed with the embedded, artfully “concealed” in the handset.
The quad-band phone (EDGE, GSM (850/900/1800/1900) weights 87g and can last 350 hr during stand by and 3.5 hours talk time.
It has 48MB internal memory but can accommodate up to 8GB microSD external memory.
Hope to be able to do a more thorough review of this phone soon.

definitely it would cost less than 20k, since (cookie) it does not have 3G, WiLAN, but who cares if it loaded with much usable and fun stuff stated above. sooner, around 12-16k, (but rumors) as low as $150-200.
LOL.
a more high-end LG, (looks pretty much the same as COOKIE), a.k.a. RENOIR would have more data & connectivity func., and an 8Mxpl cam., but at higher tag.
i go for COOKIE for the a cheaper tag. LOL
