COOKIE PLUS ONE EQUALS FUN Tweet

LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in mobile communications, is set to make another major splash in the touchphone market with the release of its LG Cookie Plus (LG GS500), a slick new 3G handset with SNS capabilities. Offering the same full touchscreen experience as the LG Cookie, its popular predecessor, the LG Cookie Plus is raising the bar with a host of exciting new features.

“The LG Cookie Plus is both a celebration of the original Cookie phone, which brought touchscreen technology to all, and an exciting first step in our new line of phones that will continue the Cookie legacy by adding creativity and affordability to the touch experience,” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

Sociable, enjoyable and affordable, the LG Cookie Plus follows its successful predecessor in offering a full touchscreen, but enhances the Cookie experience with a fun graphical interface and convenient social networking connectivity.

Centered on social networking, the LG Cookie Plus boasts a flurry of friendly networking features. Easy SNS usability brings Facebook to your mobile screen for a simple social networking experience, while Twitter, Flickr and other top sites are also supported. LG’s unique peer management application, LiveSquare™, adds a visually dynamic and interactive dimension to keeping up with your closest contacts.

Maintaining the playful spirit of its forerunner, the LG Cookie Plus is equipped with fun features to keep you both engaged and entertained. LG’s Editable Screenshot MMS,which captures web images for editing and sending, is a creative social communication solution, while the animated UI and colourful theme options offer a splash of imagination and personality.

To build on the success of the original Cookie, LG plans to offer a full batch of new Cookie handsets in 2010. The new line of affordable touchscreen phones, to be unveiled over the next few months, will offer something to suit a variety of ages and tastes.
The LG Cookie Plus will be rolled out globally to 45 countries beginning with France and Italy in early March. For further information, please contact your local operator or visit www.lge.com.
