LG Cookie Plus GS500

The first Cookie proved to be a smashing success for the manufacturer and it’s only logical to expect its successor will do equally good. However, the market for affordable handsets equipped with touch-sensitive screens has changed dramatically over the last year and the other players have already introduced their own (and quite capable at that) alternatives. The Corby family makes for an illustrative example - with it Samsung showed its intention to take a front seat and conquer the market. LG made it clear it was not going down without a fight and retaliated with the Cookie series. The LG Cookie Plus GS500 comes with several truly nice novelty features like refreshed interface, 3G, 3.5mm jack and microUSB port. We highly doubt it the handset will manage to become as successful as its famous predecessor though, mostly due to the oversaturated market and despite all the novelty features it brings that make it a properly balanced cell phone. Truth be told, we also like the cheaper LG Cookie Fresh GS290 , because it does look fresh (what a surprise!), comes with radio that doesn’t require users to plug in earphones and offers really good in-call and audio playback quality.
