The LG Cookie or the LG KP500 as it was known a few weeks ago is supposedly going to be priced in or around 170 Euros for a touch screen phone. The phone comes with 3? 240×400px 262K colour TFT display/touchscreen, Virtual on-screen QWERTY keyboard is Quadband GSM. It will also include FM Radio, microSD memory card slot, Bluetooth, FM Radio and a few other things. Once thing it is lacking is WiFi and GPS and before I forget 3G but for under 200 euro it’s still sounds like a great phone.

Do you have an iPhone? have you ever had the feeling that the built-in apps load quick them any 3rd party apps?. Well apparently Apple are using a screenshot of the last known state of the application as a “splash screen” when the application next loads. So the splash screen is masking the load time of the application. It’s a bit of a trick and fools most of us I guess.

This Samsung sliding QWERTY is said to be called the “Propel” but nobody really knows yet. The phone is set to launch on the AT&T network and come in red, blue and green. Not much information is known about this model yet in terms and price. Some reports are that it might be around $80 on contract in the US.
