The first reviews of the LG Cookie Fresh are in

April 28th, 2010 by Dave@LGUK
 
A few months ago we had an advanced look at the LG Cookie Fresh phone, the successor to the original LG Cookie KP500 phone that sold over ten million units worldwide. We concluded that it was a good entry-level phone with plenty of decent features including an effective integrated social networking tool. Well you no longer have to take my word for it as both mobilechoiceuk and Which? have both posted reviews of the pre-production sample. Here’s a quick recap of the specifications for those who missed them the first time round: 3.0” WQVGA touchscreen 2.0MP camera MP3 player Micro SD support Bluetooth™ USB 2.0 3.5 mm headphone jack Easily...

Hands on with the LG Cookie Fresh

March 23rd, 2010 by Dave@LGUK
 
The LG Cookie KP500 phone was a huge success, selling over 10 million units worldwide. The secret to its success was in its simple yet effective design, targeting the entry-level touchscreen market by keeping the cost down without forfeiting any features. Good news for all fans of the Cookie is that it will soon have not just one little brother but two; the Cookie Plus and the Cookie Fresh. The new LG Cookie Fresh will take the basic ideals of the first Cookie and push this forward into a new handset. And luckily for me I have got my hands on...

The LG Viewty Smart has a smart ad campaign

March 19th, 2010 by Dave@LGUK
 
I have rather poor observational skills. I seem to walk around in my own world, oblivious to the new haircuts of friends or old ladies with Zimmer frames glaring at me on the bus when I don’t notice them to give up my seat. I’ve been knocked down by 2 cars and a shop mobility scooter in the last year alone. The LG Viewty phone is clearly a lot more observant than me, because it can recognize up to 16 faces using Multi-Face Detection on its 8MP camera. To celebrate this technology LG has released the excellent advert below. At first glance...

Hands on with the new LG Chocolate BL40!

August 18th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
The new Black Label series handset, the LG Chocolate BL40, has been getting quite a bit of attention since its leak a few weeks ago, but now we can give you the official lowdown! LG announced the Chocolate BL40 last week in a press release: “The initial response to the new LG Chocolate phone is exceeding our expectations by a wide margin,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications. “Although much of the interest seems focused on the striking shape of the handset, the real surprise will be when people discover the advantages of the 4.0-inch screen in...

LG Arena KM900 – More reviews from around the web

June 11th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
When we last looked, back in April, there were a fair few fans of the LG Arena (KM900) on our blog roll - Gaj-It, GadgetLite and ShinyShiny were all impressed, but some of our fellow bloggers weren't quite ready to commit themselves on a phone which hadn't hit the shelves, so lets check in with them now they've had time to really put it through its paces! Coolest-Gadgets UK considered verdict matched up fairly well to his pleased first impressions and showed the phone is as hardy as the Secret: The Arena’s been in my pocket with no cover or screen protector...

The LG Arena KM900: Your thoughts and reviews

April 17th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
I saw an Arena in the window of my local phone shop this morning, which hopefully means they're in - or coming to - a shop near you now! Seems like an ideal time to do a bit of a round up of feelings so far about our new favourite handset, with a look at some of the reviews and initial/unboxing reactions of some of the bloggers who attended our exclusive launch event on April 1st - while the city was under siege we had canapés and civilised conversations and played with new toys!
