Entry level touch screen phones are getting really popular in India. LG started this trend by launching Cookie in early 2009. Cookie phone received huge response from public, and it crossed more than 1 million in sales. Samsung followed LG and launched Star and Corby series. The Samsung Corby series surpassed LG cookie and other touch screen phones in recent months. The main attraction of Corby is its low price, better specifications and youthful design. LG can’t sit back and watch Samsung stealing their market share. So now they are ready for another competition with a new version of Cookie touch screen phone. This phone called LG Cookie PEP, is also known as LG POP in several other countries. LG promises the price of LG Cookie PEP to be competitive and affordable. The device comes with social networking and instant messaging that would attract youngsters. LG has launched media campaign with John Abraham, Genelia D’souza and Abhay Deol to promote the new LG Cookie PEP.
