Aiming at mid-range market, LG has bought full touch handsets to the masses, LG KP500. It is popularly known as the LG Cookie. The LG KP500 Cookie is only 11.9mm thick, which apparently makes it the thinnest phone around with a tucked in stylus. It's more compressed and easier to use than some of the pricier touch screen phones, yet it still has a large 3 inch display. Simply press the essential buttons on screen using your finger. The LG KP500 may be reasonably priced but not at the cost of style.

The LG KP500 is not a high-end device, but once again its feature pack is itemized for affordability. The KP500 does not support 3G, but there's quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE for a true world-wide use. It also has a 3 mega pixel set focus camera, but there's a 3-inch wide touch screen display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels to jab around. A microSD memory card slot, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio and an accelerometer for auto screen rotation and gaming completes the count. An effective landscape QWERTY keyboard and office document viewer are also there.
One more new thing found about this LG Mobile phone is that the video recording is not as exciting as that of some other LG camera phones. Here you only have QVGA video at 12fps. It weighs only 89 g. It has a feature that assists Handwriting recognition.

Despite of the fact that, it not in the same club as iPhone, the cost makes the Cookie give good competition to iPhone. As the LG Cookie does not aim the same market as the iPhone, a feature- by -feature evaluation would not be reasonable.
