I really like the phone itself. I don't use internet but there are quite a few features that I can mess with so that keeps me from getting bored/tired with the phone. I love how there is warranty and the charger adapter comes along with it. (That's why I bought it from here). One thing to point out is that it can write Korean on text messages but the other phone that receives the text (iPhone, for example) cannot read it as Korean and displays it in weird symbols. (I guess you can only send Korean text messages to another GD580 in order for the receiver to actually read it; or maybe it doesn't work at all. who knows). What a disappointment! However, if someone texts you in Korean with their iphone, you can read them. So it's just you can't send them. One other thing is that I expected at least 2 kinds of fonts to be available. But there was only one. What the hell? My old basic call phone (no internet, no other features) has one font, but this phone is like, lollipop made in the 21st century! This was a bummer. I like changing things around on my phone and I was expecting more from a lollipop phone. I bet the original phone (locked version) has several fonts but in the unlocking process somebody manipulated it, I guess. Anyways, aside from my disappointment in little things (maybe not so little for people like me...) such as the font and Korean typing feature, all else seems fine. Battery life is pretty good, call quality is ok, and the ringtones are loud enough. I haven't really used the camera features, but it looks ok. Light display on the outside is cool but not that detailed or extensive in terms of customization & options. I have the red color and it's really pretty! If you want a cute, fairly simple phone I would recommend this! :)Read full review

Smart and confident, though never self-important, it doesn't seek to impress but is straightforward, credible and convincing. Great handling, attitude and a distinct identity are not guaranteed even in the high end, and that's something the LG KP500 Cookie should be proud of. The price tag seems the all too convenient excuse for the middling spec sheet. We'll just go ahead and say the decent feature set could've been near impossible to resist with 3G data speeds. Wi-Fi is probably way beyond reasonable expectation in this price range. The interface may have its quirks here and there but the user experience is compelling enough.Read full review
This phone, the LG LX750 is a great phone. It has easy-to-use keypad that is water resistant single membrane--no separate buttons. I bought two extra phones as replacements for the one I have been using for almost 2 years. I have dropped it into a bucket of water twice, into the toilet, with pee, once, and have taken it out quickly each time. Some phones are dead the instant they hit water, but this one has survived these 3 dunks. I climb trees for work, and take this up with me. I have dropped it numerous times from heights of 30 to 70 feet--and it has survived. The price of this one was high, ($82 incl shipping)considering that the industry considers it obsolete,and the other one was more what I expected to pay ($35 incl shipping) but both arrived in perfect condition with a good ESNs. More modern phones are more delicate and have keypads that are too small to use with my normal man-sized thumb. buying these phones is cheaper than the insurance through Sprint.Read full review
The Cookie is just as it is promoted: a very clean touch-screen with some neat functionality. The games it comes with are kind of weak, and the colours available in the drawing app are only 16-bit, but the sensitivity of the stylus is great. Ideally this is a girl's phone. It's cute, light-weight, and comes in pink (the one I got for sure!). Its stylus is very neatly hidden at the bottom of the phone, and extends its length on removal. The in-phone storage capacity is pretty small at 40megs, but it does take a SD card up to 8gig capacity. One of the most impressive features, for me, is the sound quality, which is both loud and wonderfully clean -- no vibrating or distortion to the sound at all. Some functionality seems odd, and appears to require some research to use properly, which means that this isn't a start-up user-friendly item, but all in all pretty easy to use once you get used to it. One major thing that bugs me, though, is that for a phone which can supposedly recognise written scripts as complex as Chinese, when I write words in English, the script recognition function very often interprets them wrong, unless I learn to shape my letters in the exact way the phone wants. Not a huge deal, but an annoying one. It also, from what I can see, won't let you create punctuation marks by hand, apart from full stops, but rather requires them to be chosen from the keypad. This slows me down and seems a strange ommission. Bottom line: Not the most technologically incredible phone ever, but sweet, slick at what it does, and very attractive.Read full review
Most of the phone including the 2 sim function work very well. It isn't an android. the battery usually lasts about 3 days on a charge. The user manual isn't available in English so you need to be able to figure it out on your own. Since 2 sim phones aren't sold in USA your service provider won't know any more about the phone than you do, T-mobile was very helpful with me at trial and error settings until we got the internet settings right and working. We still haven't figured out picture messaging yet although text messaging works fine. LG USA knew even less about the phone and LG HK won't return emails. This phone seems to have a slow processor with at least a full second between icon selection and screen change. All that being said the 2 phone # benefit makes it all worthwhile. It color codes line 1 as blue calls and 2 as red, on inbound, outbound and phonebook. You have individual settings for each line. The camera is good, the touchscreen is just ok, reception is good, the phones size is like a 4" long credit card. It has T9 and qwerty, Internet runs on Opera at 2G speed. Bluetooth works good, haven't tried the music or headset yet. the games on it are worthless demos. Wi-Fi works good.Read full review
