Advantages: Touch scree,n modern, stylish, variety of features

Disadvantages: a little bit confusing

**Overview**
As another phone bites the dust (again, no charging, no headphones :( ) I decided to get the LG KP500 (LG Cookie hence forth) and now that I've got to grops with this phone I can now review it.

**Appearance**
The phone itself doesn't apprear to have any buttons aside from a volume control on the side, and the three buttons: Call, Widget Button, cancel. Now it doesn't have any other buttons becaus it is a touch screen phone and has a stylus, cleverly disguised at the very bottom right of the phone.
Of course it is a rectangle, though very thin, it is very sturdy. Due to the touch screen facility, the screen is verrrry big and takes up most the fornt interface (that word makes me sound like such a geek) of course on the top of the screen in the centre is the LG logo (I love the logo, it's so sweet...I degress and I do apologise) Also along with the volume controls on the side of the phone (Left side near the top) it has a lock button which you use to lock the phone (above this is the memory card slot..talk more about that later) and it also so has a camera button which you press down and hold to get the camera to come up. On The back it is just two panels that should come away easily....if not use a little bit of brute force...it helps. Also the camera is on the back (again talk about that a little bit later on)
I think but not too sure on this, but I think the phone comes in black, silver and pink.

**My Opinion**
Okay, so it has an exhaustive list o features and technical mumbo-jumbo however once you get the hang of the phones touchscreenyou will be fine, admitedly the hand writing recognision toolis annoying if you are trying to write fast, and perhaps the fact that sometimes the buttons don't type despite the fact you pushed them on the touch screen. However I ADORE this phone, its funky, its touch screen, its modern and its cheap on contract (The price other wise is about £100 and thats a lot considering it could jsut ab9out do anything...except make a cup of tea, but even that won't be long) I really don't want another phone because this one is so much fu. It also makes really sweet noises, that aren't annoying, unlike most phones
I would recomend this whole-heartidly to anyone who can handle technology and or just if hey want a phone that looks amazing, and can fit comfortably in your jeans pocket. One last little point, sound quality and playback is a bit dodgy however it is still good for the basics

Summary: sorry this isn't my normal style
