Camera Phones Plaza

As far as the touch phones are concerned, the target public is always pretentious, as it’s based on people who know exactly what they want and what their needs are. They know, on the other hand, what the market is offering them, at a precise moment in time, and the must-have features the devices should include, when it comes to the technical side.

For those of you looking into getting your first touchscreen handset, but lacking astonishing funds, being therefore constrained by the financial aspect, the LG KP500, dubbed the Cookie, would be a good bet. The device hasn’t been officially announced by LG, but rumors say that the Cookie is aimed at users who are budget-conscious.



The latest news is that LG is intensely preparing a new affordable touchscreen handset. Despite its hilarious name, the Cookie will offer a modern feature set that seems pretty enough for the estimated price of 170 euro before taxes and subsidies ($230). The 11.9-inch thick handset features three buttons on its face, positioned below the 3-inch TFT touchscreen display, while around back there’s a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera to take care of your snapshots. There’s supposedly no support for 3G networks on-board, but at least it gets EDGE and quad-band GSM at your disposal. Another thing is that LG Cookie won’t provide an exciting video recording experience, as some other LG cameraphones do, as you’ll have only QVGA video at 12 fps.



Like most of the touch based handsets on the market, LG KP500 has got an integrated accelerometer too with auto-screen rotate for images, videos and documents. In addition, there’s also a virtual QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode and office document viewer.

The design is borrowed from its relative, the LG Renoir, and it uses the latest LG Flash-based user interface, which is thumb-optimized, though there is a stylus in the package too. Weighing only 89 grams, the device is said to be having a really attractive price point as promised – the estimated price, as I said before, is only 170 euro before taxes and subsidies. This is pretty good for a touch phone, isn’t it?
