LG Cookie KP500 – The latest iPhone Killer?

December 26th, 2008 by Annkur

The iPhone effect is still here. After its Prada series LG now has the latest full touchscreen device “Cookie” aka KP500 on the block. The Cookie commercial currently onAir tries to sell it much on the lines of the iPhone, displaying its touch capabilities and advanced gaming. Incidentally Apple is pitching the iPod touch and the iPhone as a gaming device; something that competes with the Sony PSP.

Though it would be too early to give any views on the Cookie here are the specs and a short video:

  • Quad band GSM connectivity
  • 3? touchscreen display
  • 3 megapixel camera
  • Black, Vandyke brown, Anodizing silver, and Elegant gold color schemes
  • Built-in motion sensor . Accelerometer
  • Preloaded games that utlize the Motion Sensor
  • On screen QWERTY keyboard
  • Stylus

    Yeah, the Ad is creative but the product isnt. Sadly no one has been able to match the Mighty iPhone even with better features.

    Long time ago I said to a friend “Just features dont make a good cellphone” and it seems to be holding true here …

    A quick browse through iPhonehelp.in gives the list of iPhone lookalikes or Inspired by iPhone

    Blackberry storm
    Nokia 5800
    Omnia
    Prada
    N97
    samsung F480 / f490
    .. man the list is real long

    Ps: HTC touch was launched before iPhone .. But the upgrades came a year later. And none outshined the iPhone

  5. OG Review: LG Cookie KP500 | OnlyGizmos

    [...] Extremely light weight at 89g and handy Cookie is smaller than the iPhone and fits comfortably in your palm. The device has genuine touch features with scrolling of pictures using swipe gestures like the iPhone  (and yes it works well), though the Zoom is using on screen virtual buttons labeled ‘+’ and ‘-’. The widgets on the home screen are amusing. Drag and drop them just as seen in the commercial. [...]
