The LG KP500 Cookie seems to have every reason to chill out and cash in on the kept promise of making touch-operated phones so sweetly inexpensive. Available for a mere 200 euro (contract-free) it might enjoy a decent run, pretty much owning the lower end of touchscreens at this point. So much so, that it’s tempting to speculate whether the Cookie could’ve been the right kind of response to the first iPhone, with the proper timing of course. OK, this maybe taking it too far but don’t go blaming us. It’s the Cookie.
