I AM AWARE THESE PHONES ARE SELLING ON ARGOS WEBSITE FOR £49.99, SO JUST MAKE AN OFFER
This phone comes with charger AND IS OPEN TO ALL NETWORKS PERFECT WORKING ORDER
( SORRY JUST FOUND OUT MICROPHONE HAS STOPPED WORKING THIS COULD BE TO DO WITH SETTINGS ON PHONE I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW HOWEVER IF YOU BUY IT AND IT THE MICROPHONE IS GOOSED AND IT COST YOU TOO MUCH TO GET FIXED, I WILL ISSUE YOU A FULL REFUND , NO SCRATCHES OR BLEMISHES,( COMES WITH LEATHER FLIP CASE ALL THO THE CASE IS A BIT TATTY.)

PHONE HAS BEEN RESET BACK TO MANUFATURE SETTINGS AND ALL PERSONAL DETAILS WIPED

The LG KP500 is nicknamed the Cookie.

Let's start by looking at what you do get. You get a genuine touchscreen-driven phone (not just one with touch-sensitive buttons) that is controlled by pressing virtual buttons and icons with your finger or the stylus that's supplied with the phone. Pioneered by the iPhone (and others), touchscreen is the hottest trend in mobile phones in 2009, and it's hard to underestimate the amount of fun that you can have pressing virtual buttons on a screen. Especially for people like us, who don't get out enough. In the early days touchscreen phones were often tricky to use, but these days they're all pretty easy once you've got used to them. We don't think that the Cookie will pose any trouble, although some may find the stylus a nuisance. Anyway, great fun to use! The KP500 also has a built-in accelerometer, which simply means that it senses which way is up and automatically rotates the display. The virtual QWERTY keyboard slides into view when you turn the phone to landscape mode, which looks very cool. The accelerometer is also used when playing games, so you can tilt and turn the phone Wii-style to control movement. You can shake and flip the phone at other times to control various functions. It's all great fun, as long as you don't mind being stared at by passers-by.

The Cookie is more compact than most touchphones. It's about 20% smaller than the iPhone 3G and several millimetres thinner than its big brother, the LG Renoir. And weighing just 89g, it's probably the lightest touchscreen phone ever. We can't think of any lighter ones off the top of our head anyway. But, and this bit is important, LG have cleverly made the phone smaller without reducing the size of the screen. At 3 inches across, it's a big display by any standards, and when it comes to touchscreen, size really does matter! A bigger screen makes it easier to use, and the Cookie is definitely an easy phone to use.

So, the ergonomics are good, and the screen is good. What else is good? Well, it has a media player that plays most popular digital music formats. It also has a stereo FM radio. It's got a good web browser. It supports email and has a document viewer installed. Connectivity includes USB and Bluetooth, and the operating frequency is quadband GSM, so you should be able to use the phone anywhere in the world.
