 A good GSM phone for the price July 29, 2009
D. Smith (Michigan USA)

I travel frequently back to the UK so this phone works great for me. It is quad-band and GSM phone which means it has a removable sim card that I can use a pay as you go sim card when I go back to the UK, and then switch it back while back in the US. Unfortunately your limited to AT&T or T-Mobile in the US as the other carriers don't use GSM phones, not sure why?. The phone itself which I bought in the UK has an adapter for 110/220v for charging in other countries which is a nice touch from LG (I once fried a US adapter by plugging it into a UK socket, duh!). It comes with a screen protector and the casing feels nice and not too cheap. The touch screen itself is bright and easy to navigate and the inclusion of a stylus that fits in the base of the phone makes it very handy when texting. The phone houses a slot for a micro SD card up to 8gb, which is ample for mp3's and photo's or video's. I don't like that you have to use the supplied headphones in order to listen to music as they aren't that good and would have preferred the ability to use third party phones.
Camera quality isn't that great, but like most phone cameras the quality is grainy, I only use it rarely as I have a good quality digital camera for that. Overall it's a great little phone that is considerably cheaper and less bulkier than the i phone. And if you need accessories then eBay is the place to go, I picked up a great leather case that fits perfectly, and a car charger. I have had the phone now for 7 months and am pleased with it so far.
Update: I recently flashed the phones firmware to the latest version which is V10n and the phone is so much better.
The touch screen works a lot better than before and the slide bar can now be used without having to press hard.
The firmware install is a little tricky and can only be done on a windows operating system, but is well worth the time as the phone's performance is so much better. Do a search for KP 500 firmware v10n update.
Great value phone May 27, 2009

I live outside the US and the phone worked perfectly with Guatemalan Carriers, it is a great value phone has almos every feature built in other smartphones. the only downside is that it doesnt has wifi, but the browser is very good, you can surf every web page, not only mobile sites.
great design not big and bulky like the iphone, its easier to handle when you are speaking.
The only downside is that you need to push a litte hard sometimes in order to move things or activate things, i dont know if it is only my case or thats the way the is. I own it now for three weeks and im loving it, and the touchscreen is getting more responsive over time.
The phone has a lot of features but at least im gonna mention the ones I like the most.
favorite contacts screen
it remembers the number you dial or the ones that call you, so it suggests every time you start dialing.
nice camera
widgets
grat music player
up to 8gb micro sd
Nice phone I highly recommend it.
Love it, Love it, Love it!!! December 19, 2009

I've had the Cookie for about a month now and I am so happy with my purchase!
It was fully charged when I received it and all the mentioned items were in the box, including the charger with adaptor. I slipped my SIM card in (I have T-Mobile Even More service) and it immediately recognized T-Mobile as the carrier; even shows it onscreen!
Spent approximately 20 minutes playing around with the settings as they are organized a bit differently from U.S. phones...for instance, the settings for ring tones are under the "Settings-Profile-Normal" names, not the usual ones we see here. However, it's pretty easy and the touchpad appears to become more responsive with time as you get used to it.
The QWERTY keyboard is great and the accelerometer function works quite well for typing with either [small] fingers or the stylus. People have received my texts promptly, as I have theirs. Anyone considering this phone would do well to check the services their provider offers - if you don't have an Internet plan, well, the phone won't surf the 'Net - I say this because I've seen a couple of complaints about that issue. I don't use my phone for that purpose, just calls and texting, and it's perfectly suited for such. Also, this is NOT a wi-fi or 3G equipped phone, which again suits my needs but perhaps not others...they'll have to spend a bit more for that and sacrifice battery life. Speaking of battery life, I am a fairly heavy talker and only charge my phone every 3-4 days - and it charges in less than a couple hours.
All in all, if you're patient and like to fiddle with new gadgets as I do, you will LOVE this phone. The wallpapers, ringtones and games are really great and again, I'm extremely happy with my little Christmas present to myself!
Easy to use and fun! June 3, 2009

This is my kind of cell phone. Stylish, affordable and very fun to use. The touch screen technology is the greatest and finally I can have a piece of it thanks to the LG Cookie. It is very very easy to use. The photos that I get with it are very clear its enough for me. Makes it easy to storage all the contacts and music etc.... with your computer. I really recommend it!
Great phone for less than $200 September 30, 2009

Thanks to all the good reviews this phones has, I decided to buy it to be used in Costa Rica. After a couple of weeks, I can only say that the phone has worked perfectly. The software is quite easy to use and the touchscreen sensitivity is the right one, you don't have to push to hard to get it to respond. Power saver helps and lot and battery life is improved when the feature is enabled. The only thing that's somewhat disappointing is the PC Suite software since I haven't been able to figure out if there is way to update it or the phone's software automatically.
