LG has designed and announced what it hopes will be the successor to the LG Cookie. The Cookie was a great entry level touchscreen device that paired low costs with the latest technology. If you were an individual who just wanted a touchscreen phone to be in the ‘in’ crowd, the Cookie helped you there. But with the GD510 aka the ‘Pop’ have the same success? It sure has the right features; a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, 8GB of internal storage, a 3 megapixel camera and a brushed aluminum case with a single multi-function button and a narrow 4.8mm bezel. Simple yet classy. Expect the Pop to make a European debut around mid-October. The pricing will be set by individual markets.

The LG KX500 also known as ‘Cookie’ was a pretty smart choice for touchscreen fans when it came out. The reasonably priced sleek design was a sure hit and as the South Korean company just confirmed a few days ago, the Cookie sales have reached a mouth watering 5 million. According to a statement by LG Mobile Communications President and CEO Skott Ahn;
Achieving five million units in sales in only nine months is proof that we’re on track with our goal to make Cookie a phone that’s loved by everyone. Our strategy to provide a full touch screen phone at an affordable price has succeeded beyond our original expectations. If the current trend continues, we expect to see Cookie hit sales of 10 million by the end of this year.
Right so LG thinks there’s more to come. Cool. With the way the economy is, an affordable, decently made touchscreen will find a place. Then again, Ahn could just be doing the ole blowing-my-own-trumpet.

Popularly referred to as the “Cookie”, LG’s KX500 is one of the company’s most popular GSM phones. After selling nearly 8 million units worldwide, the Cookie may be making an Asia Pacific debut very soon, and that too with the addition of CDMA to its spec list. Apart from the CDMA 1x-compatibility, the Cookie will retain the original 3-inch touchscreen display, 3 megapixel camera, accelerometer, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and FM radio. It’s compatible with both Verizon and Sprint’s networks, but neither carrier has announced it as part of their lineup. According to retailer ePrice, the KX500 will be available by the end of May with a $276 price point.
