A very good phone with good feature set at an incredible price. Although, I expected dual sim and a flash for the camera. That will definitely put this phone as one of the best phones below the 10k margin. Krish(Quote) (Reply)

its one of the best featured phone, I got it for Rs.7500/- in Hyderabad
flash is missing but still can get good Pics from phone in ambient lightning
the voice clarity on both sides of cummunication seems to be good as i have tested it ,( unlike the Cookie pep which lacks the basic functionality by transmitting voice in low volume because of its mic), but in this LG GS500V , i think the Problem has been rectified by LG, thanks for that
The Processor seems to be a little Slow while starting any application,as there are numerous apps preloaded, but you can handle it!
Picture & video Clarity over the screen is Good, for its WQVGA Screen Resolution
rest of the Phone seems to be Ok at this excellent Price, which is quite low for all the features it offers including the 3G facilities Satish Dave(Quote) (Reply)

Hey friends… LG cookie Plus is a good phone at this price… more than satisfactory phone.. I have never used this company phone before.. but it’s good. it has some features missing.. it doesn’t support themes, camera flash is missing etc.. but sound in headphones is too good.. video quality superb.. internet surfing is also good.. touch screen is also best in this range ( 10 times better then Nokia phones )…. so i just want to tell the people who are calling this phone worst, that in this range you can’t get this much good phone… Omendra Sharma(Quote) (Reply)

I have this cell since almost 2 months. The pros:good image viewer, world clock,fun applications, 3 screens. Cons: No flash for camera, Even some of 3 gp files dont run (which runs in any other, even cheap handsets), the worst part that Face book does not open giving msg. “not enough memory” even when internal memory is almost free. When upgraded at service centre it worked for few days. But again failed. It practically does not support 8gb card. As music player takes 20-25 minutes to open and often does not open at all (the handset get hanged and only starts after removing battery) Whereas the total contents were only around 5.6gb. This short comings gives you the feeling of being cheated, for 7500/- price. The lower end handsets (Rs.2500/- to Rs.4000/-)performs better than this model in many aspects. One aspect i come to know is that 30mb of internal memory is very very poor for such application. Or the same should be dynamic memory. This phone also lack in supporting push email/ email appl. Incoming mails are not received and the service provider also opined that customers with LG handsets face this problem widely. Will the LG managers take cognizence of these issues and strive not to repeat this mistakes in future hand sets. Or else they will loose the reputation and market as well, as they faced some time back. aneesh(Quote) (Reply)
