  • Hello! Does anyone know the code i need to enter in this menu Eng Mode -> Usage Info -> Security Check? The secret number to access overal menu is 1809#*290.

  • it is one of the good phone....

  • good phone.multitasking is a very good feature.poor battery life.

  • An 'okay' phone, however, the touch sensitivity is of VERY bad quality. Screen freezes for both me,a nd my younger sister who was also using the same model. Samsung Galaxy Z, here we come!

  • Yes! it is realy like a good mob

  • Yes! it is realy like a good mob

  • Very Gud phone

  • Lg gs 290 suport d uc browser. I also use uc in my lg phn. It is defect of sim. U chnge yur sim n den c

  • OMG!!!... its a beautiful phone... i've been using it for past 3 years.. no problems at all.. its a gr8 phone to buy..ppl should 1st use an then comment.. its a pretty rough an tough phone.. operable in any circumstances.. GOOD ONE L.G

  • When I touch anywhere on the screen, the phone senses 1-2 cm on the right. So, only the right part of the entire screen is operational. Nice....

  • Extremely disappointed with the phone. Touchscreen is invariably unresponsive.already had to replace the touchpad(costs Rs. 628,plus Rs 231 for the headset at authorised service centre.get ready to shell out another 1000 bucks within one year of buying.) and headset. When kept in pocket,gets unlocked and even unwarranted phonecalls often take place,unlock icon being on top contact/call icon.No youtube support,so u have to depend on online youtube video converters,post the youtube URL and be kept cooling heels for it to convert-vexing process when u r using net from ur phone.Slow,often gets clogged and it has to be switched off and restarted to get going,especially the camera and while using multiple built in apps. Being a feature phone doesnt support most OS supported apps.screen resolution and brightness are extremely poor,nothing can be seen or read even when ventured outside on a cloudy day, not to mention what happens in the sun. Speaker has got problem,makes nettlesome screeching noises.Due to poor build,prone to scratches and skin peeling off the body and backcover-not rugged.video/sound quality is below average. Camera is weak,there is no sensor to adjust to ambient brightness i guess.data transfer is cumbersome. made a bad choice when smartphones are available at comparable price.In a nutshell this phone only looks trendy from a distance and promises a helluva specs it struggles to live up to.

  • Terrible phone. It has a resistive touchscreen making texting and menu navigation a chore. The phone is also prone to unlocking in my jeans pocket, due to the resistive touchscreen and unlock button that protrudes from the side of the phone. The camera is weak, and I found it to be worse than the camera in my old Nokia 3210. Build quality is poor, with the silver finish flaking off the back cover weeks after I bought it. Overall the phone is slow, unresponsive and painful to use. Avoid.

  • It does supprt dude....i cn play easily.....bt u need to transfr through pc suit or converter....

  • Ya right....this phn at the price n at its tym is awesm

  • You need to go to the home screen, click the centre button (the silver one at the bottom) and then a box should come up. Click the arrow in the top right-hand corner of the box, and a list of active applications pops up. You can then select each and close them off as you need to. A lot of things like half-written messages can be hidden in the background, mine does it all the time!

  • I bought this phone thinking it was the iphone, now I went back to the store and they wont give me a refund. Why does it look like iphone? The screen is very bad you have to press really hard, plus the battery life is pathetic. You cant see the display in sunlight and the memory is very little. Dont buy this.

  • U r right noman

  • It's not bad . . . . .But it still have some features which does not present in it e.g youtube,wifi.

  • Don't know why u guys are making such a big deal about the problems with the cellphone. I sell phones, this one is only �39, if you want the good stuff than buy an Apple, Lumia, Galaxy or something. This one is a good phone for its price, so no bad comments are right!

  • I like this mobile.But no wi-fi.

  • Very bad quality ph. I am not happy to owner of it

  • does it runs watssap apl???

  • this phone is alright

  • Please do not at least buy this phone. This phone is not worth spending a dime. 1.The screen doesnt work at all. 2.Music quality thogh high seldom works. 3. Touchpad is like hell. 4.Internet doesnt work. 5. No themes or Games. 6. Sync is worse. 7.Automatically calls the last recent called number. 8.Low screen visibility. 9.Works very bad while playing videos. 10.No Wi-Fi I think I have given 10 reasons not to buy it.It was a waste of my first salary.

  • useless phone lg gs290 very bad

  • bad phone . internet is very slow

  • i am having problem with this.................

  • I had this phone and thanks to the resistive screen I always had trouble typing and navigating in this phone. Its laggy all the time. Silently calls the first contact this is a weird bug really. For a budget phone, buy Samsung Galaxy Y (Android gingerbread) instead.

  • very very bad phone its sooooo bad dont buy at all bad camero and no themes at all

  • I do not like the phone there is not any theme which can support it.It is a slow handset.

  • very bad phone dont buy im a teen ager and this phone was only worked for 1 year nd after 1 year its display was gone and its loud speaker was become bad only thing which i looked about this was that when i reqested a girl to be my gf she told me yes me on this phone but sadly we are not now toghter im talking about the girl...! :( missu my gf...! :(

  • It is a totally failed cell phone. Phone book search option is too slow. Also when you want to send msg to group wise so only 10 persons you could select but after selection msg will be sent to only one person who you will select first. It seems that LG sailed the same to market without any checking. LG is third class mobile company.. Don�t buy LGGS290.

  • I purchased LG GS290 on december 2011.... its performance is very bad..... which type of mp4 videos will work in this phone and battery timing is only 24 hour and talk time is only 2 hour..... if we take image by using this 2mega pixel camera nobody clear image. that is very bad image of LG290

  • I purchased LG GS290 on december 2010.... its performance is very bad..... which type of mp4 videos will work in this phone and within one year i get repaired the touch screen.... if we take image by using this 2mega pixel camera nobody will tell this camera as 2 mega pixel.... i think its a fake detail.. camera quality only upto VGA camera of other mobiles.... this is the review about LG GS290........

  • I have this, purchased in Ireland. After few months suddenly stopped responding touch screen. Updated firmware no use. some times suddenly start working. Not sure the magic. Now touch is working after 2 weeks. I suggest not to go any LG mobile, they maintain cheap soft and cheap h/w. China mobiles much more better then this. Thanks

  • I updated my software from GS290AT_V10f to GS290AT_V10j, but i cant see any change in my phone.

  • Touch failed after 9 mnths, got replaced the screen which took 8 days for the service.

  • hey, I have had this phone for nearly a year now and it has been very good to me.It is really good if you like to personalize your phone a lot and i found that it had pretty good service. The price of them has come down quite a fair bit now and is a very good price for a touch phone. I do have however a couple of problems with it. 1)Lately it has started to freeze up on me, not too often but it is starting too get annoying now.2)The internet on it is quite slow and it would be great if the phone had 3g 3)I also love texting and it would be heaps easier if the phone had a slide out qwerty but it does have an on-screen one that you can choose to use which is good. Overall for the price it is a really good all-round phone.

  • pls guys tell me i wanna to buy lg phone i will chosse kp500 cookie or gs290 which one u see more better ? pls tell me guys

  • The LG GS290 is a nice phone. I have faced problem with the touch pad calibration though...but got it corrected as the phone was in warranty. Multiple screen is nice.Sound quality gr8. Camera Ok-Ok.Touchscreen Gesture to access diff features is really cool. was not able to access mails, FB was accessible.

  • screen does'n workin :'(

  • Okay, the screen is properly working again.. probably connected with the earphone plug-in thing, since when I tried using the earphones, the screen went back to normal. Bye.

  • Goddamit.. at first this phone was pretty much great.. and, well, then the touchscreen stopped working.. thanks, LG. The screen itself is showing an image and all, but the TOUCHscreen is not working properly. When I click on the left side of the screen it jumps at the right or something similar.. well, not much time, gotta go.. hope you don't buy this crappy phone, if I have an update on the status, I will comment and all.

  • Had this phone for about 3 and a half months- -Very slow internet -Turns itself off on random occasions -Crashes occasionaly -Crashes, and you have to take the battery out and restart the phone -Phone signal is very poor -Phone signal can be poor when holding it certain ways -Integrated facebook is poor (I've resorted to using the Facebook URL) -Music and files don't show up occasionaly (you have to restart the phone, or take the microSD card out and re-insert it -Can only hold around 105 inbox messages, when it's capable of holding much more -Around 5 weeks ago I noticed that my games and applications do not work anymore (I have spent around £50 on applications and games), I have also tried to reinstall some of them paying the full price I payed for them with no luck -Touch screen buttons are very very poor (especially with the Facebook app -I have taken this phone to my local phone shop to see if it was just my handset, and I was told they had received alot of complaints about the model. Overall I'd give the phone 2/10, the only decent things i can say about the phone is that it has a nice design, I'd say it was easy to use, but the touch screen makes scrolling and tapping a nightmare. Really not worth a quarter of the £60 I payed for it. It's really really not worth buying!

The phone does not turn the UI if you tilt the phone. Also, on LG's product page there's no mention of accelerometer in the phone's specifications. Please correct this.

  • I personally think this phones awesome! I want it for Christmas.

  • Just purchased yesterday. It will better with a better camera (2 MPX is not that great now days) no flash, mmm video quality could be a lot better not just 15 fps. No WLAN, now days that should be a must, but I can live without it, I do not use it for Internet so not sure how it goes, support from the website, that another story, could be a lot better...Trying to figure the menus out still, it may take me some time. Look for a phone for over 3 weeks, until I decided for this one (price wise is OK) Had 3 Nokias and they were great (like 15 years ago) then changed for a Samsung (never more) then a Chinese, it was nice, but the camera was BAD, so I came to LG. (I change phones every 2-4 years when they need new battery is gone!

Some times mobile gets hang(when im running one application ex: mp3 continously and closing after 1-2hrs, and suddenly opening another app then it hangs) due to this i use to remove the battery n fix it again to work. in 15days i got this problem 2 times. even though im satisfied with this mobile as it is having social networking. i purchased this mobile for 5720/- bluetooth free in universel

  • To play Youtube videos use Bolt browser from www.boltbrowser.com and get the signed version. Bolt browser automatically setup the device for youtube. With edge connection at 236 kbps it won't be a continuous video but buffers!! It works at least in India. Good luck

  • yes from getjar tou can download opera mini and you can use it

  • Accelerometer sensor this phone haven't. Mistake in specifications. Sorry for my bad english.

  • The camera quality of the phone good. It also have movie studio.

  • Very good phone for the price, only problems i have is that when you turn it on its side it should automatically rotate to landscape but does not, only does by choosing from menus in certian places where its able. Would have liked a D-pad instead of a center button thats does not do alot. I Found the media player and video recorder also to be a bit jerky. The phone is not 3g but still produces good speed and great browsing experience. Has been very reliable and durable have had no trouble with it, i recommend this phone to anyone.

  • Yes it supports opera5.1

  • This Answers to all.. It wont support Flash, So no Youtube videos.. It wont support Themes or u cant do it manually as KP500 developers does.. No Accelerometer for Auto Rotate.. Headset quality works really well but not on speakers.. Camera clarity is really poor even compared to Samsung champ.. If you are looking to update the firmware, take the battery and sim card out and the do the process. Doing with SIM card will brick your mobile with an yellow screen.. Touch sensi is really good compared to other mobiles.. To make battery Full you need charge it max 3hrs 30min..

  • Hi... If you are in chennai, kindly take it to the Adyar LG service center. Which is opp to Adyar bakery.. They repair your mobile fast and soon... dont go to Kodambakkam or any other place..

  • hi frnzz.. i day by day my ratings r increasing towards my phon.. i forgot to share one incident wit u!! when i went to d shop to get this phon, i enquired everything frm d lg salesman.. atlast i asked hw durable is tis, he took his own phon(cookie fresh) n dropped it dwn from a height of 6ft!! al d parts splitted up seperately then he reassembled it again.. he asked me to work on it, i did.. b'liv me it went well.. he asked me 'howz d durability??' i replied 'pack one for me'.. i lov my cookie..!!

  • well i think it is a good mobile especially for people like me who love music and spend more time with mobile for music, it got a very good sound function and i enjoy it. so go for it.

  • it is very fantabulas

  • this cp has no "Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate" i just buy this cp and found out that if you want to rotate the UI you need to press a button.. what duh!!!!!

  • of the three phone's u hav chosen, cookie fresh is d bst!! i hav installed three games, a QR cod reader appln, n two others..!! i also hav a corby plus but cookie is bttr than tat!! three way interface is mesmerising.. i always use livesquare which at d start may feel bit dull bt when u adapt to it u ll use it always.. its a fun loaded phone!! sorry 4 d delay of my reply.. bye!!

  • k buddy.. its a good one to get, ofcourse battery is a problem but it ll giv u a day for sure!! n when u get dis d operators will fix with a briteness of 60%, try reducing it to 20% or even 0%.. this wil certainly increase the battery life.. LG is a good brand mob n its service is grtr than tat of nokia..!! games r of demo version but i dont use it so its nt a concern!! fm works well n it doesnt need a headset fixed in it.. i hear songs when i go to my college, i use totally 4-5 hrs a day for music!! i dnt use web in it as i own a lap.. its stylish n sexy!! camera is fyn n music quality is awesome..!! b'tooth transfer wil decrease d battery lif in al phones n its common.. altogether its a rockin one at a budget of 5.8k.. i ll recommend this 4 al..!! touch is superb.. so responsive!! i dint get any warnings lik LOW MEMORY at al.. i hav filld my memory card fully.. remember when u fil ur memory card fully, it will get slow.. tis is common in evry phon's!! cartoon interface is amazin, u ll b dragged back to ur chilhood when u use d interface.. anyother ques?? jus reply me bak, i ll reply u soon!! bye!!

  • its better but d battery backup is low and d games were not complete and hav 2 upgrade wich costs u much of money.... the touch panel is some what hard whn typing msgs and it structs whn we made two operatiions at a time... but it is too cheap to get a touch mobile...

  • I got the mobile from Univercell... Price Tag is good for a 3.0inch touch screen phone, with 3.5mp headphone jack.. But from my side, i would say you are wasting your money.. Just go for the Samsung Corby, which is available at Rs6300 not more than this, or Just get the Samsung wave 525 which is at Rs7800.. Which supports multi touch and 5.1ch audio through headset... Even Corby can full fill your need even though it has 2.8inch screen.. Dum things about this mobile is, its messaging.. When u enable Predictive Text in the option or T9 dono for sure, and when u want to type DO and when DO is entered on the screen and it will do a small Pop-up showing DONO, when you press space, when u type DO, it wil be displayed as DONO, then you have to disable T9 and then clear it and then re-enable the T9.. its a bit headache work to disable and enable it again and again when you type It WAS DO etc etc Browser is worst in this mobile, Wont save your Preference or Login id and pass.. My mobile was updated to the latest Firmware and still the problem was there... Battery backup was not good at all.. Corby needs 2hrs charge for full, while this needs 3hr 30min to make it full and mobile gets warm while charging.. I have seen many buyers come to LG service center for changing the Touch Panel. Think so the mobile Price tag is bit lower cos of its build materials.. My friend own a samsung corby, and i feel corby is value for the money.. Installing App is a bit easy, but making them work is a bit tricky.. Opera mini does work, but loads up bit late, and there is a On screen Navigation in all Java Application, which takes .4inch of the screen and makes the app run in 2.6inch.. One thing i liked is the FB app, but am not a FB user.. FM radio works on the go without any headset plugged in.. LG firmware support Tool, is one crap tool i have ever used.. Wont sink the mobile Properly.. Have to Change country to detect the latest Firmware for my mobile.. GUI in the app will guide you in a way and the LG website will be guiding you in the other way.. Flashing with Sim card and Battery will make the mobile get locked with a yellow screen.. Have done software update for Nokia and HTC, which was all one try.. Would not suggest this mobile for any one, Kindly go with Samsung Corby.. its worth buying than this...

  • As far as i knw, ths is a gud gadget. Very stylish, low weight, nice interface. Smtymes it gets hanged. Very rare ofcourse. Sound is gud, no auto rotation of the screen lyk cookie. Main disadvantage is BATTERY. and its havin a dumb inbuilt browser. Very slow. Gud thng is phone supports java. And, and, and what? :-/ hmm, ya, its nt supporting streaming video like YOUTUBE and online videos. A big drawback. How cum they missed ths feature to include. Its nice. My marks for ths are 7 on d scale of 10. in The cut 3 marks 2 are for poor battery and 1 for the online streaming video disability...;-) [email protected]

  • it has all good high end features but why the f*** u forgot to put the basic application. in this phone i cant see the number who is calling.. and there are no perticular option also so that i can set it

  • atlast a cookie owner is here to help others, thanks sharath... what about d availablity of 3rd party apps & games for dis mobile and pls list me the Apps & games preinstalled in ur cookie.. About Battery life, what type user u are moderate(some calls, txts & some music) or High end user(frequent internet user, lots of music & txts).. Multitasking, i knew that cookie is a low end multitasker.. many users reporting that it hangs & shows d LOW MEMORY Warnings.. did u face any wierd problem like that.. phone is bundled with 2gb card & screen protector, is it true??? I'm currently using N97 mini a.k.a HANG MACHNE which is d worst phone with irresponsive RESISTIVE SCRREN so i'm really afraid about d Cookie's resistive screen.. How about touch responsiveness after the screen protector was sticked.. frnd pls dont mind about the long question list, pls help me dude.. BTW my choice of phones are Cookie fresh,LG GW300, Corby s3650.. thanks in advance dude :-)

  • hi anonymous.. its a good phon to buy.. u ll never fed up, wit the interface.. i m njoying!! i bought tis phon on tis diwali.. battery back up is arnd 1 n a half days.. music quality is amazin!! camera is also good.. overall worth for 5.8k!! jus grab it.. any queries jus reply me back..

  • Hey arun what do u think about corby when compared with cookie fresh.. which is best any ideas.. where did u bought d mobile from univercell showroom or LG showroom.. could u pls explain me about d touch panel problem.. i'm waiting for ur opinion frnd :-)

  • Ya its a good phone if you take extra care for it.. Try getting some samsung mobile, they are good value for money, have more resale value than LG mobile have..

  • hey is it a good phone i was thinkin to buy it??

  • Features are very nice in this mobile, but it lacks when it comes to battery backup and service support... Gave the mobile to LG service center in Adyar, they took the mob for service without the bill copy cos the mobile was launched in this APril so they told it will be still in warranty, thats a + and i have never seen any service center taking mobile without the bill... I mentioned few problems like battery charging and Touch panel and software update and all.. They only fixed the Touch panel and they took 24days for fixing it.. I tried doing the software update on my own and the mobile got locked with an yellow screen, taken it again to the LG service center and they fixed it for me within 30min max.. The build in browser for this mobile is really a stupid browser, it wont save the user preference setting of a site, like when u change the setting of GOOGLE search it wont save the Preference, or when u log in to Gmail or yahoo it wont save the id and password when u click login, it will return back to main log in screen again.. Opera Mini sucks real time when it comes to loading or typing a text for searching.. facebook app runs fine in this mobile, but am not a FB fan, music player output sound works really nice and i was happy with the output sound during in heavy traffic.. Mobile get fairly warm when not in issue which drains all my battery, which drains within 2hrs after a full charge, changed to a new battery of Rs285 and still the problem stays.. Max i have to charge a new battery for 6hrs to make it show battery full and when i unplug and plug it again in a sec when it shows battery full, the mobile will take another 6hrs to show battery full for a new battery... Normally it will take max 3hr 30min to make a battery full, if the mobile has been charged correctly in the 1st time... Samsung mobiles are far much more better than this mobiles, just 2hrs of charge and max it will last long for 3day or 2days depends upon the use of it... Finally with all these problem i sold my mobile and i am bit relieved from it... Would never be going again with LG mobiles.. User who is willing to spend 6k on this mobile, kindly move on with some Samsung mobiles or Nokia mobile or some better mobiles, kindly dont go for LG mobile, if you are into browsing, get Nokia symbian touch screen mobile which can be customized on user preference.. Hope this helps the new mobile buyer to know more about the mobile...

  • hi ,can anybody help for i have lost my instruction manual for my new phone,if some kind person can help me with this small problem i will be very greatful.

  • should i buy coockie fresh(gs290) or kp500? please give me your opinion:)

  • I recently sold this fone because of the issues i faced. Touch screen struck often, battery backup is low. Phone, restarts very frequently. While on the call, the receiver has a echo and noise disturbances. Many of my frnds who had this model, had the same issues. Even after two services, the problem continues. so better go for other model/brand with the same /more facilities. "LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP"

  • Its an cool phone with nice design and a good software instaled.I have one and im very satisfied about it!The sound quality is very good and works well with headphones.It does not have WiFii but internet works very fast.The touchscreen is very good but also very sensitive..careful not to drop or hit it because..you know the consequences...The games on it works very good..(.jar).I like the phone very much and i think i wont buy another phone too soon.

  • this phone roxx....if u need these specifications....no other phone can satisfy u..i own it

  • Does this phone have wifi, it says on o2.ie that it does? I need a good phone with Wi-Fi ?

  • Quality has a different meaning for each and every one, so you should respect that, do not make commercial advertising.

  • No, it doesnt have a pen and you even wouldnt need it. As the UI is very user friendly and has smooth touch, but if you still need a mobile pen, you need to purchase it from a mobile shop.

  • ya fine

  • Hello everybody!! It is a great phone but I have a problem with MP4 videos. Can somebody tell me what kind of MP4 files suport this phone? What kind of bit rate must have a mp4 video that this Cookie can suport?

  • Its very good and better then corby.i luv it.one of the lg's best phone. I m using ths phone frm 2 month nd its very fine.

  • When did u buy it?

  • this mobile is very worst. i have already do my set two times. but agian it is creating same blutooth problem. its bluetooth don't connect with other mobiles.

  • There is no accelerometer in this phone. Had bought it for my brother. Rest all are ok.. do i need to update the firmware or something to get it to work?

  • This phone does NOT come with accelerometer. And the OS is very, very restrictive. The case is made of plastic. Very good phone if you have a facebook, twitter and/or MySpace account (unfortunately, or fortunately, I don't).

  • querido amigo en mi caja tengo manual en español para este móvil!deseo hermoso dia con mucho amor! :)

  • proud owner of LG GS290 Cookie Fresh!!!Love it!!!

  • For watching YouTube videos (Flash Videos) use Bolt Browser Signed version. This browser is somewhat different from OperaMini but is a more realistic experience.

  • The video conversion with formatfactory works with 400x240 resolution at 25 frames (yes 25 frames - surprisingly the 15 fps appears to be slow - I don't know why) for full screen video. Audio at 22050Hz and 128kB/sec bitrate. I have converted 2 Divx movies from 720x480 pixels with crystal clear video and quite smooth playback. However when I went to convert one DVD movie, it had 3 separate clips - 2 clips converted well and worked while the third clip didn't - I have also tried it on another system. So its is a fault with the movie. While converting, you can calculate the aspect ratio of your cookie fresh which is 400:240 or 1.667. You can crop the video with format factory while converting so that no black bands appear on the top or bottom of the video - but you lose two sides of the picture for wide format movies. Format Factory version 2.50 - Best of luck !!

  • What I meant to say was, 'smart' phones(not smartphones)-meaning phones which have complicated software.

  • this phone is NOT a smartphone

  • I once experienced a hanging, while pressing "ok" on balance check. I had to remove the battery to get it to work again, it worked ok after that. Is this something to worry abt, or it happens to smartphones sometimes?

  • i got today like birthday present,lovely light phone,with lot of options,thanks lg for this model,love li! :)

  • no man it does nt have motion sensor..... neither UI autio rotate feature ....!!!

  • no themes supported in this phone gamin wallpapers and ringtones...visit zedge or mobile9 .com....enjoy...!!!

  • in wich size u convert the movies ....can u plz tel me .... every time i convert the movies and put it in my cell it plays . but the movies do not run smoothly./....

  • hi guys, please tell me what site can i download themes, games, applications for this phone? please give me the answers... Thx..

  • hi folks can anbody tell me does it have motion sensor as the older cookie have, can u put ur choice of wallpapers? is it better than corby?

  • What is the exact video specification so that the video will fit the whole screen horizontally (QWERTY view)? I mean blablabla x blablabla resolution.

  • Format factory works with WQVGA (400x240) resolution and you can even crop (resize) the video if the aspect ration is not 400:240. I have converted two full length Divx movies and they play well on Cookie fresh. DVD videos are often segmented, if they have 3 or four clips for a full length movie and one fails to covert (it hangs) then you lose the while movie, Often there are bugs on pirated DVDs, and it may be so that you fail to fully convert a particulat clip.

  • this phone is very good and has some unique features which r not availabe in Nokia n Samsung mobile fones of comparable prices.But it has only 2 mega pic camera and one intersesting game is present , while others r downdoadable.

  • i got this fon..and its very light ,,easy to use..very comfortable...i really really love this..rather in my corby..

  • This phone is good. but i'll recommend you to go for nokia 5233.

  • This phone is good, But instead of this phone Go for nokia 5233 or 5230. Nokia 5233's price is 6500 RS and it is much better. the camera quality as compared to corby and cookie fresh is much better and clear. 5233 records video @30fps (VGA) but cookie fresh and corby records video @15fps (QVGA). You can install thousands of apps on 5233, 5233 supports 16 million colours. Simply 5233 is better.

  • i want this fone but dont no if its good!!!

  • Cookie fresh or samsung champ. Who is the best in music, external speakar loudness & tuch sentivity?

  • hey...this is nice touch phone at very low price..better than samsung corby.

  • hey guys this is cool phone with a very low price tag and fully loaded with great features go grab it

  • i totaly aggree with thet comment

  • anyone know how this phone's music quality is compared to the renoir??

  • Pleeeeeese tell me about battry backup , sound quality & volume on both internal and external spekar with touch sensivity?

  • Hi guys am using for 1 month this lg cookie fresh model. really very nice! good touch function, camera quality good & sound quality nice!first time inbuilt antana FM for smart phone. this model price just Rs.5900/-,dont miss it

  • I dont really understand, what people expect from a phone with a low price.3G geeks, please dont input your opinions for this basic phone. this phone is for those who cant really afford high end touch phones.What do you expect from a phone...your personal desktop or laptop features..haa?

  • WOW...is the only word can be used to express its features.I couldnt really resist writing this post.I used lot of phones but never really wrote a post on GSM.I was wondering why they named it cookie FRESH.but truely it goes with the name with all the best and fresh features of LG.I have never expected LG to come up with a phone like this.Looks like they studied all the features of Samsung Corby and included the missing features of Corby in this phone.The memory card content never really mixes with the phone memory.when we have an incoming call the screen locks automatically to avoid any unnecessary button press.except for Audio, sound quality is awesome.the speaker is on the front side, so the sound never goes low for an incoming call.The lowest volume gives us a crystal clear sound in the receiving end.so think how the maximum volume would be.Qwerty key pad is good when you use a mobile stick to press the keys or even a tooth pick would do ;-).the touch is awesome.and the phone fits in hand when compared to Corby.camera quality is good.cant really expect a crystal quality picture from a 2MP cam.FM radio should have been take care of.cant really track all the stations unlike nokia.good feature is that you dont really need to insert earphone for radio.radio has a dedicated button.I have used Corby as well.When compared to Corby LG Fresh has all the best options.Unlike Samsung Corby, we dont need to change the storage location for storing camera pictures.Once you set it to mem card,its always there.This phone also comes with 2GB mem card. And the battery is tooooooo good.I charge it for every two days.and the screen menu colour can be changed to our interest.Has 3 desktop screens.We dont really need the other 2 screens.Those are like speed dial screens.Uses both sim and phone memory for contacts.so we dont need to import all sim contacts to phone memory except for most important contacts.For those crazy people of Iphone...and who cant afford for it...here is the alternate phone.every phone has its cons and pros.I am sorry for those who might have had a bad piece..but for rest...this is the best touch phone in 2010.go for it guys and girls and you wouldnt regret.In Hyderabad, India its Rs. 6000/-.What more could you expect with this price.AWESOME.Thank you LG.Folks, i am not expert in mobile phones, but you can always contact me on [email protected] for any queries regrding usage and special features.

  • LG has the worst customer support I have ever seen. BE CAREFULL BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT HAVE SUPPORT IN EVERY COUNTRY !!!!! I am not allowed to download even a manual because my country (as many other) is not worth for LG .... IF you are in wrong country you can not have any software and support at all

  • the best touch phone at low cost which has the only drawback of 2mp camera.A WORTH PHONE TO BUY.

  • no man touch screen will not have any problem.make sure don,t put this phone down if you put down it touchscreen get damaged.this phone is user friendly very camera & netsurf music you can use radio without any jack RS6000

  • No, it doesn't have an accelerometer...although it's perhaps for the best...as it saves the battery more!

  • does it has an accelerometer??

  • where else can i get it apart from the tmobile shop?????

  • New price in Ireland is 50-70Euro on Prepay with Vodafone (80-100$) and you can easily unlock it if you want

  • oh its on specification.,.. you must read it.. the battery has full of life.. it doesnt low bat directly when u use your wap and even when you call.. and also in listening to the radio.

  • yeah.. very nice.. i have no problem in my cookie fresh..

  • How's the battery life (with calls/sms & music usage,not so much internet)?

  • Any owner of this phone for 5/6 months care to certify that its screen doesn't develop problems?

  • Is lg cookie gs290 is a good phone? does it have clarity for its camera? I heard its touch become damage in few months,is it true?what is the new price? gs290 or kp500 is smart?

  • Is lg cookie gs290 or kp500 is best in all result? plz reply with details.

  • What are the reasons why anyone would want to buy this phone, the specifications are poor and too simple for a handset of that price. 2 meg camera, no 3G, its not the most appealing to the eye. Tbh if its anything like the original cookie, then its a disaster. good luck to the owner of a cookie fresh.

  • can anyone tell me that it has an accelerometer or not like cookie pep....

  • MilanM must work for Format Factory - this program doesn't work as he explained - I tried his settings & sound plays but no video - even on an 8 second clip Is there anyone who can: 1. Get this phone to play a movie 2. Use the handset manager to store the movie in the external memory without it saying not enough space ( I have an 8 gig card in mine

  • Hey iam from Kerala, i have to buy this phone. Is it a good mobile? what is the new price of lg gs290 cookie fresh? Does it have clarity for its camera? I heard its touch become damage in few months,is it true? plz..reply me who know about it very well and also your suggestions.

  • First let me tell you one thing that LG GS290 is not a smart phone, it's a purely feature phone. Some of the users claimed so many features which are only related to smart phones.If you people really crazy abt those then put some more bucks from your pockets and go for the smart phones. As i feel in RS 5900/- GS290 is more than enough.

  • Something to say about this phone Usually LG Phones Come with good music , iam Confident This Cookie fresh & Plus hav good Music Quality Social Networking & GPRS Connection is Better Thanks to LG

  • Is this LG CookieGS290 have any problem on its touch? Does it have any problem so far? what about its camera and music player?

  • awasum !!

  • In my professional life I do technical writing on all kinds of mobile phones. I have gone through quite a lot of cell phones by now. Like heaps of other crappy mobile phones, this ...uhm, phone is definately not worth buying. I cant believe some people think this phone is worth spending money on. I wouldn't even consider using it even if it was free. I would go with less fancy phone like a classic Nokia if I couldnt afford an iPhone, a high-end Android HTC or Samsung with Bada OS or just wanted a regular reliable phone without too many features.

  • User Memory is only 32MB - Use a good size card But NANAD Flash Memory is 256MB RAM is 128 MB - so no issue What is important is the processor, its slow !! Camera image is awful, you cannot figure out which one is the horse and which one is the rider

  • this is one of the useful reply

  • nice phone,

  • yes, it has USB 1.0 not 2.0 and no accelerometer as it sais in specifications above. I don't know where from gsm arena takes the specifications...

  • The USB 2.0 support is full speed! Not High Speed. Better use a card reader.

  • But I am playing full length movies converted to 240x400 pixels from Divx to MP4 by Format Factory 2.5 at 25fps - audio at 22kHz

  • Yes, it does have document viewer.

  • i love this model but i cannot still configure that how can i hide my files of external memory and to stop bieng mixed with the files of mobile memory

  • would recommend you to go through this site file transfer is one heck of a problem, and yeah you should gear up for your mobile being screwed if you try to put in anything else other than whatever is already there , be it music or documents..

  • Any one who bought this phone can tell me if this phone has document viewer.Specification here does not mention

  • in addition to , pl confirm 1) is it has on screen qwerty key , when changed from vertical to horizontal? 2) motion sensor games? 3) speaker volume? high?

  • thanks for ur review. compare to fresh and GD510 which is to buy?. not interested in higher pixel camera, 2mp ok. battery capacity (talk time ) is low in GD 510. u r opinion ? size is bigger in fresh. one thing i want to clarify java application cannot be load in samsung touch phone from pc and running in phone.(lower end even star) it requires so much codes require to run. what about in lg phones? in nokia or SE it is easier just load from pc and run it? that is not in the case of samsung what about lg touch phones? any idea gd 510 and fresh have same talk time? since some times in arena talk time will be different but actual usage it will be same, the battery capacity is same in both phone expecting ur review regards above points bye

  • Same thing here. :/

  • @flame lg gs290!

  • hi...can anyone suggest is it better to but Nokia x2 OR LG GS 290(Cookie Fresh)?? Plz help

  • Hi!!! Guys I would like to share something with you regarding the video quality of this phone. There are certain issues which can't be solved by user from his end it has to be taken care at the industry level but unfortunately it is not done: - The total RAM in this phone is approximately in & around some 4.5Mb which is extremely the worst but can't help it. Now u may ask me a question how the hell did I come to know? after doing a lot of searching activity in the internet I found an application called memoryup pro with the help of it I successfully found that the RAM on this phone is as mentioned above. - The second worst thing is that as u all know that the 2MP camera is only capable of recording videos up to 320 X 240 resolution at 9.62 fps and in .3gp format their is no other treatment for it. So all these factors are restricting the playback of a full length movie which is a very bad situation. I tried converting in as many different formats & codecs as possible but all turned out to be unsuccessful due to the instability in the hardware or the software. - I recommend all my brother's & sister's out there if wish to buy a phone with awesome video playback capabilities kindly wait for some more time till LG launches these two models : LG Cookie Music/KM570 and LG Optimus One. If u want to know more about them click on these links: LG COOKIE MUSIC: LG OPTIMUS ONE:

  • No Oxford Dictionary Widget Found in phone bought in India. It is also not available for this phone on in.lgapplication.com. Any suggestions??

  • hi am using this phone a month awesome ,but when we use pc suit to transfer videos it takes hours . do we have solution pls reply

  • hey friends, i m a dental student and i want a toch phone with a nice pic quality n sound quality in touch is this phone is gud for me or not reply on [email protected]

  • What is the code to increase volume. as in kp320 we get by typing 2945#*#

  • y it does have a wifi?i mean y it is not prone to wi-fi?

  • Hi Guys!!! Sorry for the previous feedback. I bought this phone last week and have been trying to do a lot of research on it. Finally I have managed to come across a conclusion about this phone. Let's start from the scratch: 1. Price of the phone : Rs. 5500/- only (Mumbai, India) 2. 2Gb memory card in the retail package. Expandable upto 16Gb. 3. Partial functionality of a smartphone like Push Email; Document Viewer; Easy to use 3D UI(User Interface); Social Networking Integration like (Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, Picasa, Flickr); LG Muvee Studio; Widget Apps. The only exceptions in this phone are the Wi-Fi, 3G & A-GPS which is why it can't be called a smartphone. 4. Sound Quality / Music Playback is the most awesome in this phone you can compare it with any phone in the price of 16000 - 20000. The music Player has got some preset equalizers but unfortunately you cannot customize it never mind but the built in ones are really amazing. You will observe that the sound of your headset will automatically adjust as per your selection of equalizer preset. I am using a sony 3.5mm in-ear headset and it drives me crazy each day when I plug in my headset to hear the music it feels as if it's a new song. Wonderful Experience. For a phone at this price range is unbelievable to offer such an awesome sound quality. Don't just take my word's for it but you must try it to believe in it. 5. This phone is an awesome entertainer as it is capable enough to play full length movies. It supports .MP4 format videos. The touch sensitivity of the screen is really awesome as compared to any phone in it's class or price category. 6. The battery life of the phone is another most amazing thing to be noted. It lasts for almost complete 1.5 - 2 days with an average usage of calls, browsing, music & movie playback. It has USB charging so you don't need to carry a charger everywhere you go. 7. The phone does not hang at all since it has got a task manager to exit all the running applications in the background. 8. The only drawback of this phone is that it has a very less internal memory space which is already filled up by LG with some of their own contents like ring tones & images which comes approximately up to 10MB of memory space. That is why the movie playback hangs a bit in between. I am trying to research as to how to clear the company filled content and free some more space to the internal memory.

  • I have been using this phone for the last one week and have found no such issues with the phone. It's relatively user friendly and am having no issues on the operating front. The battery runs for almost 2 days. My review is Good Phone.

  • Users in India who uses Tata Docomo - does this handset automatically installs TataDocomo GPRS setting ??!! Its however ok if we can do that manually. I ask this becoz TataDocomo GPRS seetings cannot even be installed manually on an old Samsung handset (X210) as the handset does not accept all zeros in IP. Thanks in advance.

  • Stop dropping onto the floor, that should help stop your problems with it. hahaha I've been using the phone for a month now and I have no problems with it. Maybe it's a USER problem. hahaha

  • as compared to nokia 5235 . this phone has less specification .. though the price of this phone is less than nokia 5235.. more features shld be added to this phone like comopany can add features of makin this phone 3g or allow wi-fi system in it ..

  • hai this is a really very nice phone looking so cool an stylish good sound good bettery slim an smart phone thnks

  • esterday only i ll see this lg gs 290 its a classiu phone in that price

  • i love this phone.its great..best in its price range

  • As compaire to other company mobile,gs290 is good phone,Thing is that when the touch features craze is over then the model comes to the market properly.

  • NO Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate

  • eeer..... guys! i have this phone and i've read that there is an accelerometer, but i dont see that on my phone :) - should i enabled it somehow, or the specifics are wrong - so this phone doesnt have that. plz reply me

  • So, do you really believe that cheap samsung phones bring a high set of accessories? Leather case in this segment? You must be kidding, I bought a samung m7600 that is much expensiver than this and the set of accessories is ridiculous, and the software is far worse on samsung...

  • if LG WANTS TO CReate this phone demand and market in india, they has to look forward to its accessaries and packaging,,cause the corby phones......they attracts the customers with its accessaries..........................

  • lg always have a lack in each ans every handset. for eg. all cookie range phones kp500-too simple user interface cheap body construction and cheap accessaries. GD 510- LACK OF ACCessaries.cheap headphone,no leather case, gs 290-same accessaries like other cookies.falling down to compare with corby colour, gs 500 lack of wifi, lg km555 lack of 3g....... LG HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO IT...........FOR COMPETE AGAINST SAMSUNG..............................

  • Got one of these as a PAYG and for the price (£50 in Phones4U UK), it is very versatile and quite clever. However, the battery indicator is not accurate. After the first segment turns off to indicate 2/3 charge, the battery drains to zero in minutes. IE, the first segment seems to indicate 95% of the charge. Anyone else notice this?

  • I'm about to buy a new phone after 3 years and I really like this one but I'm a bit sceptic because it's LG... So can those who have it please tell me - is the battery any good? I need a phone to talk,text and listen music, and that's it..;) I'm having a dilema between this one and Samsung B3410...so please HELP ;) thanks*

  • What's the video player like when you import an MP4?

  • I have purchased this phone, it is my 1st touch screen mobile and it is Brilliant!! Really Easy & Fun to use! I would highly recommend this LG GS290 to anyone,very straight forward to use & uncomplicated. Great price too!! I give it 10 out of 10!! :)

  • I've read elsewhere that the video play is rubbish. Anyone know if GSM Arena will be doing a full review?

  • Ì´d say that is basically a Pop with a 2MP camera, but with with a 3.5mm jack audio... It looks great

  • it looks quite good and has 3 inch scratch resistant display, accelometer, quite good camera, and 3,5mm headphone jack... My life is pretty much about music and going out, not hanging on facebook etc. so i guess this phone is quite good for sharing pictures, music and video with friends or just watching and listening to these... i've considered to buy this phone thanks to good price and good specifications... i guess it still is better than exploding iphone 3g or offline iphone 2g...

  • Geez, people this is a nice phone, with extra stuff. Its a nice phone. Really nice one, I have it and it is nice. But of course nothing can compare to SAGEM production, those are perfections, but this LG phone is quite cool, simple none expensive modern phone, what else can the one want, for serious stuff we have laptops you know, this LG is one good phone for people who can;t afford overpriced phones.
