LG KP500 Cookie Quad Band Cell Phone Brown 3.0IN Touchscreen 3.15MP Camera Bluetooth

Comment:
I got this phone about 2 months ago, it's a nice phone it can feel kind of cheap because it's light weight and plastic exterior. It's generally a nice phone, my touch screen is working well with the plastic peel still attached to the screen. However, since it was unlocked I couldn't download/open the picture texts that my friends sent me. Also when texting you can flip your phone sideways so it'll look like a keyboard or flip it upright to make it look like a keypad. Keypad was a bother because it would type other languages even if it's set on "English". Also since it's an unlocked phone you have to set up access points yourself. I recommend that you buy the USB cord if you want to add programs, applications, etc. This review was modfied by poster e 08-25-09 02:25 PM This review was modfied by poster @ 08-25-09 02:39 PM

This is a great little phone if you don't expect too much from it. Don't be fooled, this is NOT an iPhone. But that's not why I bought it. I like the stylus interface and the fact you can use it to write notes/draw pictures, which is very handy for me as I like to write down notes.I'm not a huge texter, but I actually like the texting interface. It contains lots of languages for it intuitive T9 support. I use the standard "cell phone" type keyboard to type as the full keyboard is too small to type with your fingers. The handwritten recognition is useless IMO as there are often errors and it's just much easier to use the standard keypad.The response when typing is actually not bad compared to the reviews I read, I find this phone much more user friendly for typing than my old Motorola L7 SLVR, which was very slow to text on.The camera is not bad, but not very good for macro, which I use a lot to take pictures of text. My Motorola VGA camera was sharper for close-ups than this 3MP camera on the Cookie. But if you don't hold the camera too close to the paper the result is not bad.Lots of organizer features although the alarm on the Appointment looks like a regular alarm when ringing.I like the "desktop" interface, the world clock on it and the little "sticky" note is great!Overall a very good phone for the price (I bought it on the weekly special). Don't expect too much from this phone, do your research and if you like the basics of this phone, you will love it. This review was modfied by poster @ 07-02-09 06:22 PM
