We broke the news of the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 budget touchscreen phone just before Mobile World Congress last month, but now LG has seen fit to make it fully official and dish out all the specs. Read on for what to expect.
We were the first to bring you a picture of the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 in February, and now LG has coughed up more details on the handset, set to go on sale later this month.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a Samsung Wave battler: the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 lacks 3G for fast surfing and packs only a two megapixel camera. Still though, the 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen looks attractive enough, and the 3.5mm audio slot and FM radio should keep music fans happy.
We’re also loving the look of the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 and its software, with eye pleasing icons and social network integration.
LG Cookie Plus: budget social media mobile incoming!
Granted, things are getting a bit confusing now with the biscuit branding, and we’d rather plump for the LG Cookie Plus, which has 3G and a better camera. But we’ve not seen the price of the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 yet, and that could be its true selling point.
The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is out later this month, and we’ll shout up as soon as network partners arrive.
Out March | £TBC | LG
