LG KP500/KP501 Cookie : Mobile Full Specifications
The LG KP500 is a touchscreen phone for those on a budget. It’s a compact device but with a large touchscreen show that’s simple and fun to use. With a 3.2 megapixel camera, a media player, an FM radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a memory card slot, this phone has all the essentials. Although it misses out on 3G and a top class camera, it has most features that most people will want, and for the money you’d be hard pressed to find anything better than this! Now available in Pink!
The LG KP500 is nicknamed the Cookie. It’s billed as an affordable touchscreen phone and in fact there are some incredible deals out there to tempt you. But before you rush off to buy one, join us in a tour of the Cookie, and let’s find out what’s missing compared to the more expensive rival touchscreen phones.
Let’s start by looking at what you do get. You get a genuine touchscreen-driven phone (not just one with touch-sensitive buttons) that is controlled by pressing virtual buttons and icons with your finger or the stylus that’s supplied with the phone. Pioneered by the iPhone (and others), touchscreen is the hottest trend in mobile phones in 2009, and it’s hard to underestimate the amount of fun that you can have pressing virtual buttons on a screen. Especially for people like us, who don’t get out enough. In the early days touchscreen phones were often tough to use, but these days they’re all pretty simple once you’ve got used to them. We don’t reckon that the Cookie will pose any distress, although some may find the stylus a nuisance. Anyway, fantastic fun to use! The KP500 also has a built-in accelerometer, which simply means that it senses which way is up and automatically rotates the show. The virtual QWERTY keyboard slides into view when you turn the phone to landscape mode, which looks very cool. The accelerometer is also used when playing games, so you can tilt and turn the phone Wii-style to control movement. You can shake and flip the phone at other times to control various functions. It’s all fantastic fun, as long as you don’t mind being stared at by passers-by.
LG KP500/KP501 Cookie : Mobile Full Specifications
LG KP500/KP501 Cookie : Mobile Full Specifications
The Cookie is more compact than most touchphones. It’s about 20% smaller than the iPhone 3G and several millimetres thinner than its huge brother, the LG Renoir. And weighing just 89g, it’s probably the lightest touchscreen phone ever. We can’t reckon of any lighter ones off the top of our head anyway. But, and this bit is vital, LG have cleverly made the phone smaller without reducing the size of the screen. At 3 inches across, it’s a huge show by any standards, and when it comes to touchscreen, size really does matter! A larger screen makes it simpler to use, and the Cookie is certainly an simple phone to use.
So, the ergonomics are excellent, and the screen is excellent. What else is excellent? Well, it has a media player that plays most well loved digital music formats. It also has a stereo FM radio. It’s got a excellent web browser. It supports email and has a document viewer installed. Connectivity includes USB and Bluetooth, and the operating frequency is quadband GSM, so you should be able to use the phone anywhere in the world.
Now let’s take a look at what’s missing.
The camera is not as excellent as the 5 or 8 megapixel cameras seen in LG’s high-end phones. It’s limited to 3.2 megapixels, and there’s no autofocus but this is reasonable when you consider the price. The memory is also more limited at 48 MB, although you can add a microSD memory card to bring this up to 8GB. It’s not 3G and there’s no WiFi, so web browsing probably isn’t a excellent option, despite the huge screen, which is a shame.
Inevitably there are trade-offs between price and features. We feel that LG have got the balance just right with the Cookie. By removing the features that most people won’t miss, and by installing an average camera, they’ve not only slashed the cost, but have also made the phone more compact and simpler to use in many ways. As long as you won’t miss high speed web browsing or the camera quality, you can have all the benefits of the latest touchscreen phones for a fraction of the cost. For example, on contract you can expect to get the LG KP500 with half-price line rental for the duration of the contract, or a freebie such as a Nintendo Wii Fit, an XBOX 360 or even a couple of hundred quid cashback! With deals this generous, it’s very hard to find fault with the Cookie.
The new Samsung Tocco Lite is an nearly exact copy of the Cookie – there’s small to choose between the two phones, except that our users seem to feel that the Tocco Lite is a more robust phone – the Cookie seems to annoy a few people with reported software glitches.
