LG Cookie Goes Back In Oven, Re-Emerges As LG Cooky with S-Class!
Touchscreen handsets are definitely doing good business, with the Samsung Tocco and many other iPhone-esque devices becoming manufacturers’ biggest sellers for many years.
As the LG Cookie has become a platinum seller for the Korean company with 1.3 million shifted since the Oct. ’08 release, they have chosen it for an S-Class reboot.
The innovative 3D interface showcased in the LG Arena/KM900 has had plenty of column inches from us, waxing lyrical about how it offers a geniunely intuitive and appealing experience to users. Combining this UI into a bargain handset like the Cookie (which has already received one upgrade which saw it rocking new buttons) is genius.
The revamped and renamed LG ‘Cooky’ will also be getting a specs upgrade in the form of 3G connectivity, an accelerometer for landscape use, a TV tuner (which might not make it to Europe), and a TV-Out port.
The only downside is that the LG Cooky is only earmarked for a Korean release at present, at a cost of 590,000 Won (£270).
Not quite as cheap as the original, but well worth waiting for as the battle of the touch screen phones heats up!
