I received this phone for Christmas about three years ago to replace my LG Chocolate, and as far as touch phones go, the LG Cookie is easy to use, fairly reliable and rather cute to look at!

The Cookie has a distinct feeling of fun to it, with it's bright icons, wallpapers and interface, and my personal favourite feature of the phone is the drawing panel--which I readily admit I've spent ages on many a time! The LG 500 is attractive, sleek, and stylish, with a neat and tidy layout, and, if like me you have stubby fingers, there's a handy little pen you can use that slots nicely into the bottom of the phone.

However, the phone is not without it's flaws. Unless you take advantage of the memory card, the phone doesn't store that many photo's or songs and on occasion, believe it or not, turns itself off, which is annoying, to say the least.

Compared to the LG Chocolate, the Cookie isn't as likeable as a model, but aside from the odd hiccup with it's design, it is all in all a reliable and fun little phone!
