LG released the Cookie as a budget touchscreen phone a few months ago. However, although extremely usable and actually rather good for a low-end phone, its low budget price meant it was short of features. Presumably thinking the same thing, LG has decided to beef it up a bit, and have come up with this: the LG Cooky, which is, to all intents and purposes, a Cookie on steroids!

More pics after the jump.

Despite the similar name and the identical casing, the LG Cooky is a cool high-tech feature phone. With HSDPA, T-DMB mobile TV and full connectivity with LG’s Cyon Game online portal, it’s almost like the Cooky is destined for a completely different market than the Cookie.

And in fact, that’s exactly what it is. Whereas we in Europe get the stripped down Cookie, it’s the Koreans who will be able to get their hands on the all singing all dancing Cooky. Shame, really, as the Cookie is a great little phone, and a few more features really would have added to its appeal.
