It's basically what you'd want in a mobilephone. It's cheap, simple and cost effective. It is expected to be released on early 2010, around 1st Quarter or 2nd.
Here are the details for this cheap touchscreen mobilephone.
Appearance
The LG GS500 Cookie Plus mobilephone has a 107.1 x 52.5 x 11.9 mm casing size and it fits well on pockets and on the palm of your hand. The casing is slim and round with a sleek surface. It looks elegant and is sure to attract other people.
It has a big 3 Inch TFT 262k Colour Touch Screen displaying 240 x 400 pixels resolution. It's clear and bright and supports Flash User Interface which is attractive and interactive.
Multimedia
The LG GS500 Cookie Plus is pretty much on par with its original LG KP500 Cookie. It has the same Music Player capable of playing MP3, WMA and AAC. It also has FM Radio RDS and has Music Storage feature. However, it still shares the same disappointment with the original LG KP500 Cookie as it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack.
Video on the LG GS500 Cookie Plus is still the same. Having MPEG4 and H263 video file format support, you can watch video clips and movies on this mobilephone.
Internet
We really don't understand as to why the LG GS500 Cookie Plus mobilephone is marketed as a 3G mobilephone. Usually, when people hear 3G, people would assume it has Video Calls. Well, the LG GS500 Cookie Plus is an exception. The 3G probably just means it has 3G HSDPA, EDGE and GPRS connectivity options. However, this is still an early preview and some features may change on release.
Camera
The LG GS500 Cookie Plus mobilephone seems to still have the same camera features. It has 3.2 Megapixel Camera and Camera Settings. That's the only information as of yet. And even if it's released , we still think it will still have a sub par camera features since, of course, it is a cost effective touchscreen mobilephone which is expected to sell successfully on the mass market.
Conclusion
As of now, it is not clear as to what makes the LG GS500 Cookie Plus mobilephone has in difference to the original LG KP500 Cookie. The 3G features looks as if it will have 3G Video Calling support but on the first look, it doesn't have a secondary camera for it. We expect that it these features will change once it is released.
