LG KP500 Cookie, a budget-friendly touchscreen phone

I just read LG’s announcement that they’re setting the retail price for the LG KP500 (or LG Cookie) at Php 11,900. Compare this to other touchscreen phones in the market, like the iPhone 3G that Globe is selling for Php37,599 - Php43,799, and Sony’s Xperia X1 at Php42,500. Now, I’m impressed with the X1, but I can’t help thinking that at that price, I could get myself plenty of other gadgets and have cash to spare to buy gifts this Christmas. The LG KP500 is definitely a more sensible option, and it doesn’t look half-bad, either (see video below).

It has a big 3″ display (240×400 pixels) that you can navigate with your fingers, or use the stylus hidden at the bottom of the phone if you don’t like smudging the glass. A built-in FM radio is handy for boring train rides, and a 3MP camera at the back churns out decent photos. You can also use it as a music and video player, with a microSD slot that accepts up to 8GB. For connectivity, it has Bluetooth and WAP (sorry, no 3G here). As a bonus, here’s a nice clip of the LG Cookie’s promo vid:
