It might have sold over one million units across the globe, but it was six months after its international launch that LG thought it should bring the GD510 to India.
The phone will be known as the "Cookie Pep" in India - thanks to the brand value that the Cookie has in India. LG has described the GD510 as the most compact 3-inch full touchscreen handset and we agree with that. The phone, like its competitors, comes with scores of applications and social networking features - and is aimed at youngsters.
The phone offers comprehensive multimedia support and comes with 42MB of internal memory - expandable up to 8GB using microSD cards. There's a decent 3-megapixel camera that is also capable of capturing videos as well. The phone has a solo back lit button on the face that works as the menu, end or cancel key, depending on the phone's mode. The LG Cookie Pep is fashioned from brushed aluminum adding to its sleek look.
LG has roped in Bollywood stars John Abraham, Genelia D'Souza and Abhay Deol as brand ambassadors for the Cookie Pep. LG Cookie Pep is priced at Rs. 7,799 and is on sale right now across the country. At this price, this should turn out to be a good competitor to the entire Samsung Corby range - which seems to be its main rival.
ah mah tocuhpad is not working...
dont buy this phone.. it would b better if u buy corby ,star or 5223 at this cell phone rate..
it has 3.2 mp cam but we cant zoom while clicking picha so its almost waste apart from picture quality..
I purchased a LG Cookie pep on 17th march on my Birthday. The issue started from the beginning. poor quality touch screen. It was very inconvenient to use and i was not able to access internet faster as promised!! I contacted service provider and they told me that they don't have any information about LG mobile for internet settings!! then went to install the LG PC Suite software for the mobile to transfer songs to the phone. When I tried to install the software from the CD, my PC crashed!! PC had no problem so far with any other softwares even I have installed Nokia PC suite without any issues. Then I called LG Hotline number 1800-180-9999 and after a long wait of 22minutes i finally got in contact with a Representative. as soon as I started speaking she asked all my details (like phone # address, pin etc etc!!) they transferred the call, then again wait for 5 minutes to get to the mobile department. After so much hard work to get in touch with them they disconnected the call, this has happened more than 4 times. when I got in touch with them on the 5th time I stated my problem (PC crashed due to software) and asked him whether the software is compatible with Windows Vista or not or is there any other things to follow..
then he replied : I'm sorry that we don't have any updates on the software compatibility and your phone requires service. I was SHOCKED!! I bought it YESTERDAY and service TODAY!!! I confirmed again that the issue is with the software. then he replied the same and gave me a number for service : 08041144751 as soon as i called. there was some person who attended the call and transferred me to another person. And the other person who was very weak in English told me that the concern person is on leave and call after 1 week!!! then i again contacted LG hotline 1800-180-9999. I was verryyy frsutrated and asked for a refund and don't want any more BUSINESS with LG. then he gave me another number of someone in Bangalore named RAM KUMAR at 9341262131 and stated to call him after 11am. Then I called him and as soon as I called him he asked to briefly explain the issue. I explained about the software caused my PC crash. But when I spoke about refund he told me : "I'm sorry my battery is low it seems we are being disconnected" then disconnected. when I tried to call again it was switched OFF. even after many hours it was switched OFF.
So ..... FROM ALL THIS I CAME TO KNOW THAT LG HAS MADE ME BAKRA FOR 7600 RUPEES WORTH MOBILE!!! I remember when I bought a cheaper Nokia phone (1500Rs) Nokia customer care were very polite and helpful..
