LG has just sold its 10 millionth Cookie phone which is a stunning achievement. It is a low end touch phone which appeals to consumers of all ages and the price point makes it a firm favourite with huge swathes of the market.
From IntoMobile- “The LG Cookie, which first started shipping during in November 2008, is a low end touch screen device created for the masses. In July Dusan reported that it took LG just 9 months to sell 5 million, well here we are in December, a little over a year since the Cookie first hit the shelves, and the South Korean company has just announced that they’ve shipped their 10 millionth unit. Over 5 million units were sold in Europe, 2+ million in Asia and 2+ million in Latin America.
“The sales record adds credence to our philosophy of studying consumer demands and offering a full touchphone that balances premium features with sleek design. LG will continue to shape the future by delivering products and technologies to satisfy the tastes and expectations of our consumers.” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Division.”
My sister was unimpressed with her cookie, she found text entry pretty frustrating.
I played with my wife’s aunty’s one for a while. It seemed like a bit of a gimmick to me. A normal phone with a touch screen making it more difficult to do anything on it (like texting). The stylus just dangled from a line and looked like eye liner or something. It wasn’t my cup of tea I’m afraid.
