LG Cookie KP500 Review: Its no iPhone

The LG KP500 Cookie, is LG’s attempt to give the world an affordable touch-screen handset, and it is a nice looking mobile phone that doesn’t hold a cheap feel, actually the LG KP500 Cookie is very similar to the LG Renoir.

But that’s about where LG Renoir resemblance ends, as the LG KP500 Cookie’s specs are less attractive than its looks, the best feature being its 3 megapixel camera apart from its touch-screen of course.

The LG KP500 Cookie doesn’t have 3G or WiFi so that’s one big downer for this handset which apparently is to be launched in the UK at the end of November with a price tag of around £100.00. A Renoir it isn’t an Apple iPhone no way.

    Got the LG Cookie KP500, very good phone very impressed. I was worried that I would not get on with this phone as its touch screen but no problem couple of days you’ll get use to it! I find it easier to use my fingers instead of the stylus pen but then agen my fingers and not big so for the bigger finger people the stylus pen would be for you. Get this phone if not your missing out. Got everything you need for only £100.

  2. chris says:

    where can i ge tthis phone ?
    any phone shops ?
    becuz im not old enogh to buy one on the internet
    and i dont no if they would let me buy one in the shop ?

    wheres the loudspeaker on this phone?
    and will it be released in argos catalogs ?

    1. faye says:

      it is in argos now at 90.00 i think and if you are signed up to orange then u can upgrade ur phone and get a new lg cookie for free … hope this helps

  3. nomnom says:

    Well dude first off how old r u cause u would hav to be at least 12 -13 to understand it all, even if you are younger there is no age limit 😀 and there is a speaker (go to carphonewarehouse)

  4. Colin Wilson says:

    FAO: Chris – Carphone Warehouse do them – you should be able to buy one as a PAYG in store without any issues afaik – currently £97.82 when bought with £10 airtime.

  5. robert f says:

    i want to get this phone for christmas. the phone is £97 pound….is that an offer or will it always be 97 pound and also the stylus pen…do you have to use that if you dont want to?

  6. jay says:

    i bought it yesterday!!! its good phone, i am 12 but i turned 13 last november… i dunno if there are some things that isnt good about it, it may be the screen cause sometimes it can’t really detect the touch of my finger or stylus

  7. jack says:

    hi ppl this is an awsome phone would recomend to all my freinds and for that 12 year old it should do maypeu just got to push it a little bit more a realy like one little touck responds

  8. im getting this phone for christmas and i cant wait, all these comments are good ^^^^ but i have heard some bad ones like it just randomly turns off, if anyone has had this problem please tell me what to do about it so if i get a dodgy one i will know TA

  9. Serena says:

    Im 13, from Herefordshire. I was origonally going to get this phone on PAYG but the men in the shop (CPW) persuaded my mum to go on contract. Its a good deal.
    £15 pm
    unlimited texts
    100 mins
    The phone is ment for christmas, but I have had a good play on it. Its a great phone, very fun. Lots of great features including 3.2mp camera, great games and good memory (well reasonable). I handed my old handset into CPW and got £20 back, not quite sure how it works, but I bought a memory card from it. Cant wait till i get it all set up and going. Although CPW rang yesturday and told my mum they had given the wrong phone out, they said it was a demo phone!! :O I was pretty shocked they could make that mistake. But nothing really seemed different. Anyhow, they swapped it today and told me to give it a good charge, so earlier I put it on charge and it said ‘no sim inserted’. Im going back tomorrow to get it sorted. But I know its the sim because me and my sister tried each others sims in each others phones and her sim worked in both phones, whereas mine didnt. Not very happy with it.
    Another thing, Ive read LOADS of reviews and some of them say the phone reboots itself (turns itself off). I asked a friend about it because her best mate has this phone and it did it to her. I asked what did she do, and she said it happened for about a week, but has been fine ever since. It hasnt happened to me while ive played on the phone but if it does, I will probably go back to CPW.
    Some people have said the touch screen is hard to get used to, but its not. I got an iPod touch earlier this year as a bday present and that was really quick to get used to. Also when messaging, the Cookie has:
    -handwriting recognition
    -predictive text
    -normal
    which I think is really good.
    Hope this helps 🙂

  10. rach says:

    hey, what’s this phone like?? i’m getting it for christmas 😀 it looks good but is it easy to text on. would you be able to send a quick text under a table? lol!! stupid question but if I ever have to text someone in a lesson urgently then would i be able to do it as easy as if it had buttons with the hand-writing recognition??
    ^^ that all sounds dead weird but… 😛
    anyway, could you tell me some of the best features of this phone and it’s pro’s and con’s??
    thanks 😀

  11. Laura says:

    Hi, i got the LG viewity for christmas and ive been told i need to take it back because after about 6 months everything starts to brake.
    but i still want a touch screen but would the LG Cookie be good as a camera (also does it have a light?) :S

    cheers:)

  12. i am buying this fone tomorrow with my christmas money.
    my friend got the same fone for christmas and it is so klass like and the memerey card is pure cheap for a 2GB like.
    my friend said the call time is pure good coz she hasn’t even spent £1 yet and she has called 3 people and txt 4 people.. so the fone is really good can’t wait to get it tomorrow ..
    bye from mOlLiE xox

  13. Lucy says:

    I got this phone for christmas and i found it the best phone i have ever had! of course, it is no iphone, but what do you want for £100?! it is an amazing phone,, and is really easy to text on, with 5 different text settings you are sure to find the right type of style for you!! you could write it,, with handwriting recognition, or text normally, or type on the QWERTY keyboard,, whatever you like!! hopw this helps!

  14. Serena says:

    Dave.. you can turn it off..
    go settings -> profiles -> normal -> then choose wether you want message tone on or not, ringing sound on or not and all the rest.
    hope this helps. 🙂

  15. chuck says:

    Can anyone recommend a case for this phone? I am currently using an old (clean) sock and it is most embarrassing! I am ideally looking for a horizontal style case for quick/easy access. Can anyone help?

  16. Steph says:

    can you get on the internet on the cooke phone?
    like on the dolphin sim card you get free access to bebo…would I be able to access this on the mobile?
    and also without the micro sd card or w.e it is…how many music tracks would store on the phone?
    and how much do micro sd cards cost?
    sorry for all the questions :S

  17. Jem says:

    Hiyya,

  19. amy says:

    hiya xx is this phone easy 2 use and text on ? and how long does it take 2 get used 2 using a touch screen ? im buying this phone 2morrow xx 😀

  20. Ashleigh says:

    Do not get the phone it is a load of rubbish it turns itself of right when your in the middle of something, it freezes and turns really slow, my messaging cannot use T9 now for sum strange reason I strongly would not recommend this phone.

  21. Chanelle says:

    i heard it holds 5 sims… it hasn’t been stated anywhere and no one seems to talk much about that… is this true because, i currently have 5 phones and 7 sims!! and i want to buy the LG KP500 and the LG KS360 this week.

    if it holds 5 sims then its saving me money! someone get back to me please

  22. Serena says:

    it has done it to me twice.
    no it doesnt.
    crap memory i suggest you buy a memory card with it. on amazon, 4gb for like £4.
    its good for the money.
    texting is pretty easy, but slow when you try to type fast. and i miss teting on a normal phone 🙁

  23. Carla says:

    Can you go in mcdonalds and use the free wifi and it doesnt cost ur on ur contract bill? if that makes sense?

    and can you turn the shutter sound off on the camera, cos even though the fone is on silent… the camera still clicks when take a picture!
    cheers 🙂

  24. Gemma says:

    :)Look, i really want this phone but i mostly do texting on a phone but as its touch screen and i havent had one before, is it easy to text?
    Does it take along time to get used to?
    I really want it but i really dont have a clue if to buy it or not, as it is my own money. :L

    It looks good, just need a phone.:P

  25. Matt says:

    Don’t get one of these, there rubbish. Just get the best! Get an iphone! I have one and it’s great. Don’t get a crappy LG!

    LG is just an Apple wannabe.

  26. Kath says:

    You Can Text On This Cant You?? x
    I Was Comparing It On The Lg Site And All The Other Phones Had Ticks Next To Sms/Mms But The Cookie Didnt? So Can You?? x

  27. Kath says:

    Reply To Matt,, Yeah Some People Dont Havva Num Money To Get An Iphone,, Nd Why Pay 300 Pound For An I Phone,, When You Havv To Pay For The Internet Any Way,, Its Just Stupid When You Can Geta Lg Newaii,, Its Just Stuiid,, x

  28. Louise says:

    Im thinking of gettin this fone after my birthday next week. Ive heard a few bad reviews but i really want it. Can someone please tell me if its a good fone. Thankyou xx

  29. Matt says:

    Reply To Louise.

    I am sure there’s better phones on the market than this one. Check out more phones before you get this one.

    If you have enough money to get an iphone, then I would recommend the iphone 16GB. It’s just under £400. Check out the the Carphone Warehouse website at the iphone and other phones. I have the iphone 3G and I would definitely recommend it.

    Hope this helps.

  30. Naziieh says:

    Hey, i seen this phone on the CPW website and i’m not completely sure whether i should purchase it or not. I have read both good and bad reviews about it and after reading the bad reviews i’m not sure what to do. I mean i think it’s ok for the features it has but i heard that it turns of automatically and freezes. ??

    I can’t really afford an iPhone so i was considering this phone. I read that it has similar features to the iPhone.

    All i want to know (from someone who has this phone at the moment) is whether i should buy it?

    Cheers!
    Naziieh. x

  31. tashii xox says:

    Hi
    I am thinking about getting this fone and wondering if it has bluetooth so i can get everything off my old fone and on to my new one

    Thanks
    Tasha xox

  32. Serena says:

    thisphone is good, i recommend it. before i got it i read a lot of bad reviews, so i was worried about it. yes its turned itself off on me a couple of times. but nothing can be done about it. its not a huge hassel anyway. and it isnt like all the time or anything. yes it has bluetooth.. and a data cable. i have had it for a while now (since christmas) and i can almost text without looking.. and thats difficult without buttons! anyway, hope this helps.. and dont be put off by the bad reviews, if you want it and can deal with the minor issues, i really recommend it :):) x

  33. Ellie says:

    Hiiaa (:

    Does Anyone Know How To Or Is It Possible That When you Take A Picture On The Camera That Noise which tells u you have took it Can that be silent ??

    i realy need to know if it is possible :S

    Ellie xox

  34. Laura says:

    i really want this phone and i’m not really put off by the bad reviews, however:

    – does the phone have a movie player?
    – do you have to pay for the internet?

    thanks 🙂 xx

  35. Serena says:

    you cant turn the shutter sound off. really annoying.. yea you have to pay for the internet. any phone does unless it has wifi, but still whatever network you use has to pay. a movi player? what do you mean by that? it can play movies, yea.. x

  36. Kayekaye says:

    also, how often does this phone turn itself off. And also for the iphone rip off, touch screens were about a good while before iphone started making them so i dont see how this phone is a iphone copycat. iphone did not event the touch screen

  37. helsie says:

    I am wanting a phone with a decent calendar so I can rely on that rather than boring old paper diary. Do I get the this phone or hold out for the iphone?

  38. emily says:

    LOL, well its funny reading them
    maybe they arent sad darren and lucy maybe they just want to find out how to work there phones yeah?
    whats the point in wasting money if its gonna be crap?

    well it isnt i have it and i read reviews saying it would be good and bad
    but some people switch itself off or freeze
    mines never done that but if it does just take the battery out and put it back in

    and the annoying thing is the noise when it takes a picture.

    everything about it is good u just need a memory card u can get a 2gb one from carphone warehouse for £11.99

  39. Krystle says:

    I like the touch screen, Its not as sensitive as i thought it would be, so its easily worked. The phone does have some nice features for the money. The texting can be quite annoying at times if your trying to respond to a message quickly, but if you take your time its fine. The phone is also supplied with a pull out pen, and if you tilt the phone sideway, you will see an on screen keypad, which makes texting easier. Theres also hand recognition for texting, if you like that. That camera isnt the best the market is offering right now compared to the 5mp and 8mp cameras now on offer. For the 3mp, the pictures arent bad, but if you are looking to take pictures a digital camera would be a better option than a mobile phone. There is a slot on the side of the phone, so you can expand your memory with an sd memory card. You can buy one of these for around £2-£3, online. As for suitable, it depends on what your asking, suitable for what? Its a nice phone, and worth the money. It offers a great alternative to the other costly touch screens on the market. The screen is very easily smudged by finger marks, so bear that in mind that you will need to constantly clean your screen.

  40. Kyle says:

    I’m getting this phone on my birthday and i cant wait, it looks like a really good phone 😀

    How often does it turn itself off?

    sometimes that means it just constantly Locks the Screen, my friend has this phone and she said it just locks the screen constantly. all that you have to do is unlock the screen by pressing the Lock/Unlock button

    Cant wait to get this Phone 😀

  41. bonez says:

    the cookie works better than id expected, i recently downgraded from a htc hd toutch (iphone rival) that sells at around £400 to this an honestly was shocked this looks good easily personalised themes, pics an ringtones ect. so easy to text an email barely use the stylus ( altho ebay sells spares an cases all new )

    was so impressed i got the mrs’ one in pink just dont tell i got it for £97 shes over the moon with it.

  42. Ellaa says:

    I really like the look of this phone, my friend has one and it is awesome. Can people just tell me, Does it break easily, Cos loads of my mates have told me not to get it bcos it is crap. ut i still lovee it!

    Replyy.
    x

  43. Krystle says:

    Hi Ellaa. The appearance would be damaged easily, as to scratches ect if you drop it. I cannot say weather the phone itself would stop working, it would all depend on how hard it hits the ground. I would suggest getting yourself a little cotton pouch for the phone to protect it.

  44. sooty says:

    Had this phone just over a week, all smoke and mirrors, not much about it after the initial fun of the touchscreen, texting annoying, stylus is stupid, a very basic phone dressed up, what you get is a touch screen on a 20 quid fone. its getting swapped tomorrow.

  45. sssssccccc says:

    I’m getting this phone in a couple of days.So Excited!. Is the memory card (micro SD card) in the phone when you get it or do you have to buy one separatly? Please let me know soon!!

  46. everyone who says this phone is bad is soooooo full of shit. i mean, of corse the iphone is better, but this is an affordable touch phone…unlike apple who’ll charge u like…a billion quid.

    also, if ur not sure weather to get this phone or not…i would get it! but if u want it for really fast texting, i wouldn’t. u cant really text under a table with it cos u can’t be sure where the keys are unlike a normal phone…

    hope this helped? michael

  47. emily says:

    mine hasnt turned itself off yet 🙂
    the only bad thing is the noise doesnt switch off when ur taking the picture

    and if you dont know what formatting means..
    like i didnt…
    then u could end up deleting all your pictures…
    like i did 🙁

    but oh well its my own faulllllllt

  48. Krystle says:

    Try on ebay, the start on there from £1.28 New. They have silver, although it may be hard to get a pink replacement. I suggest just keep looking around

  49. Fabb says:

    I ordered this phone afew days ago (Monday 23rd 09) and it should be here by Monday 30th, i really hope this phone will be good because i’ve heard some bad things about it but i’ve also heard good things about it, i think its kinda cool ! This will be my 1st touch screen fone so i hope i wont be dissapointed when i get it. (i bet i wont, its all i’ve been thinking about all week !)

  50. Tori says:

    Hey guys.
    Thank you all , for the comments .. they have helped.. please can some one do me a favour and answer this ? …

    today, i went to CPW , and bought the lg cookie…. and i am just wondering (by the way i am 12) yeah, i’m just wondering if its a good phone ? (apart from the turning off) what is it like? becuss i can’t have it till wednesday… please could some one tell me if its good or not… ?>< and i hope you get used to the touch…

    thanks guys, please reply !Xx

  51. jodie says:

    you cant say this phone is rubbish if you dont have it. and the iPhone is like 45 a month which is quite ridiculous when you can get a good one for 100….. and most of us are like 12 and 13 so it would be a bit stupid if we just spent that much on a phone when you could spend it on loads more and still have the lg cookie. and thanks every one for the reviews its helped a lot:D.

  52. Krystle says:

    Hi Tori. I have not had any problems with the phone turning itself off. I think its a great phone for its value and im pleased with it. You will get used to the touchscreen. I find it easy now. Ive had mine fore a few weeks. Texting is still a bit awkward with the touch, but everything else is fine.

  53. Luke says:

    My daughter has an lg kp501. She is unable to save her sent texts, even though her general text settings are set to keep them. Can anyone tell me how to rectify this please?

  54. kenneth says:

    hi guys! i’m kenneth from the Philippines. I bought this phone a week ago and found no problems, really no problems at all! Yes its true that it turns off in first-time use (happened 2 times for me on the day i bought this) but i just removed the battery,restarted the phone and it works again! after that, for a week now, the restart problem never happened again.

    I recommend this phone to every one. great value for a great gadget! i enjoyed using kp500 than my old O2 xda phone. LG KP500 IS ONE OF THE BEST PHONE IN THE MARKET RIGHT NOW, I SWEAR!!

  55. Leonie says:

    Hi i am really wanting the lg cookie phone but i really want to know if it is any good?
    is it easy to use?
    can u text fast with it?
    is the camera good?
    all these have been really good reviews ^^^^^^^
    but i wud like a second oppinion :/

  56. Roxanna says:

    To all the people who say this phone crashes, freezes, turns off alot, etc … I wouldn’t say they all do… Mine hasn’t done it once, from the day I’ve got it from a month today. Maybe mine just hasn’t done it yet… so don’t listen to me ???? but i would lol 😛

  57. Bee says:

    This phone is great. I’m 13. And I like my phones perfect 😀 . Its nice looking.
    Reasonable camera
    loud music
    good features
    bluetooth works
    (i dont think it freezes)
    the touch isn’t breakable
    uu get used to touch (and this is my first 1 and i find it brill and i havnt had it that long)

    hope thhis has helped :-p
    any questions i can answer, just ask !!! 🙂 xxxxx
    love bee

  58. emily says:

    i love my phone to pieces and i can text pretty fast on it but not as much as i can on a non touch phone and it gets annoying…

    since some people ask for bad points im jsut gona say the only bad but not like horrific points i find is

    camera cant get put on silent
    erm… i accidentally didnt know what formatted means and deleted all the pictures of my memory card…
    and thats it really….
    and it can be confusing if your a bit … easy confused…

    anyway..
    thats just the bad points i can deal with the rest is ggreat

  59. gemma says:

    Hey, I got the LG cookie today and Im a bit confused on what SIM initialising is. I have saved my contacts on my previous phone onto the sim card, I put the sim card into the cookie and it keeps saying SIM initialising. Its been saying that for the past 2 hours now XD When i try to add a contact it says Handset full.

    Also how do I change the ringtone on the phone?

    Other than that everything else is great. This is my first time that I’ll have a phone with blutooth as well ^_^ so this should be interesting XD

  60. I’m 10 and i just gota pink one today and my friends sister said that all her mates got one but they had to send it back. She was going to get it but she ended up getting a lg viewety.

  61. Bee says:

    Guyss,
    if you want a security code,,
    just to let you know it will block youur phone
    so youu have to ring them up and ask them for PUK code, it hapens to every onee who does a code, so just to lett you knoww your phone might be bloacked forr a bitt,,
    until youuu ring them!
    and they don;t do it in the shops:@
    hope thiss helpedd

  62. Gego113384 says:

    the lg cookie looks brilliant. I am only eleven and my mum has ordered it but should i believe all the bad things people say. I love the look of the phone though. I am SOOOOO excited.
    Do they all turn off automatically?

    Does it cut you off in the middle of a call?

    Does it break easily?

    Please let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  63. Synsei says:

    @ Gego113384:

    DOES IT CUT YOU OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A CALL?: No

    DOES IT BREAK EASILY?: No more than most other phones. Try find an after-market soft phone case to minimize damage should you drop it. The screen is prone to scratching if the screen protector isn’t used and it does get grubby with fingerprints quite easy, but nothing a good scrub won’t cure 😉

  64. Mel says:

    I have the lg cookie in pink and it is a great phone.
    Bluetooth works quickly, doesnt cut you off, good battery lasting, loads of things to do,

    Its really easy to use and its stylish and up to date

    I got a really good deal with my phone, its on an 18 month contract, 12 months free, and 200 minutes and 200 texts, all for just around £6 a month, and the actual phone was free. I am really pleased with the phone and would reccommend it to anyone.

  65. Carla says:

    I got this phone in january and i loved it, but by march it was starting to do my heading, especially the texting. So a couple of weeks ago i changed to the samsung tocco ultra, this is the best fone yet but i think this is because its touch screen like the lg but theres a keypad to type. I liked the lg but it was getting slow and the texting was getting annoying, like i was typing a word and it would be on the word before. but all in all its an okay fone.

  66. Danielle says:

    I quite like this phone. But i have had some problems. Ive had it about 6months.
    It is quite often switching itself off, and a feew times it has reset itself and ive lost a lot of things.
    I have some good games and good features. It can get quite fiddly but is orite.

  67. sara says:

    is this a good phone because i am gettin 1 next week i want to know does anyhting go wrong with this phnoe does the touchscreen good or bad

  68. Mel says:

    This is a good phone, but sometimes there are problems, like you get with any phone. I have had problems but it happens rarely and they are not major problems. The touchscreen is very good because it is not overly sensitive.

  69. Abbi says:

    I was just wondering if there was any way of me saving all my messages to the sim card because I am getting my upgrade soon and would really like to keep some of my important messages.
    If anyone could let me know if there is a solution to this I would be more than greatful.
    Thank you.

    thanks xx

  74. grhy says:

    Hi,
    This phone is really good, i’ve had it for about 6 months and i really like it. It does occasionaly turn off but thats not really a big problem. xxx

  79. marfa says:

    is this phone loud like the navigator phone ? it because i have the navigator phone but not sure if i should get the cookie phone . coz i love playing music .

  80. emily says:

    Nope this is nothing like the navigator phone. The Lg Cookie Is a good phone but it has it’s bad points. They go off whilst in your handbag or pocket. They also have a tendancy to change settings whilst in your pocket too. It also sends messages by itself and rings people if you unlock it by accident. It is extremely touch sensative which can get annoyng.
    Hope i Helped..

    hi

    My son got a cookie about two months ago he had no problems with it till recently. due to the unlock button being on the touch screen when he has had it in his pocket it has unlocked itself and then phoned people. This happened on a number of occasions and he lost about £10 credit. has anyone else noticed this problem? is there any way of overcoming it?

  82. Molly says:

    2 things so wrong with this phone..

    Camera doesn’t shut the hell up
    &&
    I keep accidently pressing the send button for the messages when I haven’t written anything
    Grrr
    Other than that the Pink one Rocks..

  83. Roy says:

    hey .um….i had an ericsson (k530i) ..and now i switched to cookie…can i use that phone’s M2 memory card with this phone..too.or do i need a microsd..card

  84. sam says:

    this phone is awful, i had it one day and it froze twice and refuses to load properly now, just on startup loop. rubbish tat which LG should be ashamed of!

  85. amelia says:

    the lg cookie is good although be careful with the screen i just got mine today and it feels just like an ipod touch defo the phone 2 get this christmas!

  86. amy says:

    my cousin got it about a yr ago and i use it sometimes. ok phone but… touch is a bit crappy, lack of 3G and WiFi and also occasional shutting off is frustrating, no double camera (back and front) and i dont really like the user interface. the camera although 3MP takes blurry pictures most of the time (dunno y). i’d say if u r on a budget and ABSOLUTELY INSISTS on prepaid (not that this phones only available on prepaid) this phone would be good). i, on the other hand was allowed to get the nokia 5800 on a $25 rollover cap plus from virgin- in aus that is (its now available on $19 plan)- and its great (has 3G, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA, IM (yahoo, msn etc) email capability etc, great apps and games to download from ovi, 3.2″ touchscreen, accelerometer and everything) and is really tough. so if you are allowed to go on a plan get the nokia 5800 (its $349 on prepaid in au currently if u insist on it). oops sorry for going off topic >.< . anyways back on LG cookie good phone to get if u love prepaid and touchscreen =]

    Well, i have this phone and it has never turned of by itself, though i have only had it since christmas day. i love texting on it, as people can see you and everyone thinks its a ‘cool phone’. it is, and it’s fine! i love it. you need a memory card, though.

  88. Jacks says:

    Got this LG phone for Christmas very good phone easy to use especially for touch screen beginners comes with, radio, great sound system, 3.0mega pixel cam, ready games, ringtones you can have for individual people, you can have for all and you can have for messages which i like best, all files are neat and tidy, each to use touch screen 90% review only downer is theres no light when taking pictures so there dark and no zoom either other than that top marks from me 🙂
