LG KP500 Cookie

LG Electronics Philippines is jumping into the interactive screen-ready phone segment by launching what it believes is the cheapest touch-screen phone in the country, the LG KP500 Cookie. The LG KP500, which has its own web browser, does not have 3G capabilities. Instead, it can access the Internet through EDGE network, which offers speeds closer to third-generation networks. The KP500 costs only P11,900, or about half the price of most touch-screen handsets.

As its main feature, the touch-screen of the Cookie, which LG calls the Active Flash UI (user interface) uses the mobile phone version Adobe Flash Lite, a scaled-down application used in most Flash-based websites.
