10/10 would buy again!
I was apprehensive when I purchased the touch screen ‘Cookie’ KP500 mobile phone. I shouldn’t have worried because it’s probably (so far!) the best mobile phone I’ve ever owned.
When I say ‘It’s the future’I am of course referring to its design, namely, keyless (well almost) large touch screen cell phone, as opposed to (what seems to me in a very short time), the more common, dare I say, obsolete? Standard 12 key phones which we have all owned at one time or another. I believe that quite soon all mobile phones will be of this touch screen ‘keyless’ design as they are so versatile.
Back to the actual phone, the KP500 is (for the money i.e., cheap) probably the most advanced mobile you can currently get at any price. There have been a few bad reviews on the LG Cookie concerning the sound cutting out mid-conversation but as yet I have not experienced that problem.
The menu system is like nothing like I’ve ever experienced before and I’m still not too sure how to do a few things, but being a touch screen phone its very intuitive and it didn’t take me long to get the mobile up and running and I’ve not really looked at the manual yet!.
To conclude, I cannot possibly comment on all its advanced features, as it would take ages, I’m just going to say this, if you are on the lookout for a new mobile and want something different, easy to use and looks like it cost a lot more than you paid for it, get the KP500. I got mine from the Car Phone Warehouse as it was the cheapest I could find. Go for the cheapest (pay as u go tariff) phone which at the time for me was on Orange, as most if not all CFW mobiles are supplied unlocked and unbranded but please don’t take my word for it, ask the staff to confirm before you buy. It takes a Micro SD card up to 8GB capacity, which is huge!
