O2 Gets Pink LG Cookie - LG KP501 Pink Deals

Riding on the success of their budget touch screen mobile phone LG Electronics have now launched a new colour variant to appeal to a female audience, the new LG Cookie Pink edition holds exactly the same features, technology and design as the original model but exchanges the dull grey exterior casing for a new vibrant and sassy pink scheme.

Historically, pink versions of top selling mobile phones do very well in the market, take for example the Samsung Soul or Samsung Tocco, both pink version of these phones were well within the top 10 selling handsets of Christmas 2008, it seems the makeover really bolsters sales for the manufacturers.

It was not that long ago that a girl could not get a decent pink mobile phone, the only ones on offer seemed to be very low budget pay as you go models aimed more at teenages but the manufacturers have changed all that and listened to their consumers, after women everywhere wanted top-shelf features housed in pink casings they realised girls love gadgets too!


The LG Cookie features a 3.0 inch wide full touch screen which is more screen "real estate" to better enjoy watching videos, playing games, and looking at photos. Bigger is better and that also makes it easier to use by physical touch since larger icons are easier to navigate than smaller ones.

The QWERTY onscreen keyboard slides into view when the LG Cookie Pink is held horizontally, and the auto rotating display always shifts images or documents for proper viewing no matter which way the handset is turned.

The user interface is so intuitive that users will want to explore and master all of the functions and features of the Pink LG Cookie. The UI allows users to access menus easily and shift around other menus simply and quickly with just one touch.

Using advanced motion sensor technology, the LG Cookie adds more fun interactivity to games so users can enjoy mobile entertainment in a more dynamic and exciting way.
The games loaded on the LG-KP500 use a motion sensor that requires the user's eye-hand coordination to balance, flip, shift, and twist the handset to play the games.

The easy-to-use smart handwriting recognition function of the LG KP500 allows users to send text messages without using the touch keyboard. It is possible to write in complicated languages such as Chinese. In the photo mode, users can easily edit their photos with the stylus pen.


The Pink LG Cookie has been initially launched on O2 pay monthly contract deals in the UK, there are further network rollouts expected on both Orange and T-Mobile and a pay as you go launch which will probably cause a real stir when it happens. There are also further colour variants planned for the LG Cookie including a silver and a bronze model - there are no confirmed release dates for these as yet but it should not be too far away.
