The Lg Gs500 Cookie Plus – Definitely An Upgrade

Posted: Mar 01, 2010 |

You've probably heard of the LG Cookie KP500, which is the most popular and most widely sold handset by LG. After all, it was able to sell over ten million units in just over a year (well, in 13 months to be exact) after it was released in the market. The reason for its popularity is that it combines all the standard features that you need from a touch screen device with a very affordable price tag.

In fact, if you compare it with other comparable touch screen phones in the market today, you would say that the Cookie is more than 20% cheaper, which is really something especially during times of economic uncertainties.

The good news is that LG has come out with an upgrade to this phone called the LG GS500 Cookie Plus. This new Cookie is hoping to follow in the footsteps of the original Cookie in popularity and marketability. This phone was announced officially by LG in February 10 and will be released in the market by the start of March. It will be introduced in France and Italy first, and will be rolled out for worldwide distribution to 45 countries later on.

An Upgrade In Terms of the Design

This phone looks fabulous, and is prettier than the original Cookie. It comes in three great colours – classic black, sleek silver, and flashy purple – in order to add more choices for users. It is very slightly larger and heavier than the original with its dimensions of 107 x 52.5 x 11.5 mm and its weight of 92 grams. Still, it remains one of the handiest phones around, and can fit snugly into your pocket or your purse.

One great thing about this phone is that it is made with the same plastics that were used in creating the original Cookie. This material was one of the things Cookie users loved about the phone because it feels great in the hand by being smooth but not slippery. The design is definitely an upgrade with its sleek corners and shiny casing.

The phone features a TFT touch screen display with resistive technology and WQVGA resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. It measures 3 inches and supports up to 262k colours. There are three round buttons at the bottom to provide quick access to the most frequently used features on the phone.

An Upgrade In Terms of the Interface

Following the trend started by Samsung when it came out with the Corby, this phone features a more interesting, more cartoony user interface that is more fun to use. You'll love the large, colourful icons which you can use to navigate the phone. The interface is one of the main differences of this phone to the original Cookie.

An Upgrade In Terms of Features

The great thing about the LG GS500 Cookie Plus is that it has all the features you would need. It supports GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900 and UMTS 900 / UMTS 2100 as well as UMTS, HSDPA (3.6 Mbit/s) and EDGE.
