0 LG KP500 Cookie Unlocked Phone

This is a very nice phone with great features. It's a rubbery feel to it (doesn't scratch simple) and a pretty screen. However, in the event you buy it unlocked for U.S. use, the MMS (picture, mp3 messages) won't work! I was one time surprised. Everything else works though, even text messages. I talked to AT T to try to make it work, but after an hour on the phone they said it cannot be done because this unlocked phone is not obtainable in the U.S. Therefore not all features will work. But in the event you can live without MMS, this phone is awesome.

Pros: Clear and bright screen even in direct sunlight, Build quality, Features, Customizable, Built in stylus, Micro SD slot up to 8Gb

Cons: Camera (no auto focus, no flash), tiny qwerty keyboard, FM radio cant be played without headset attached.

With the Cookie's handwriting recognition, you can write and draw on messages or background pics taken with the phone's camera, as well as send text messages without even using the virtual keyboard. It is also great for realistic gameplay thanks to the embedded motion sensor know-how, which recognizes your hand movements and reflects them in the game itself.
