Cookie is an affordable touch screen lunched by LG, in last year. Currently there are three LG Cookie models namely KP500, KP501 and KP502. Among which KP501 and KP502 were released this year January and June respectively. The main specifications of LG Cookie KP500 is; 3.0 inch wide TFT resistive 256K touch screen with new Flash based UI, on screen keyboard, accelerometer sensor and handwriting recognition. We recently covered the launch of Samsung Star in India, which was originally released to compete with LG Cookie. As per latest studies LG sells a phone in Cookie series every 20 seconds. Samsung is probably targeting the entry-level touch screen segment in India with the launch of S5230 Star.
Both are international best sellers, which sold more than one million units. Samsung S5230 Star and LG cookie looks almost same, both have 3.0 inch touch screens same resolutions. LG Cookie doesn’t offer 3G in any models. However, if Samsung has another model Samsung Star S5603 that has 3G and extended inbuilt memory up to 80MB.
