LG GS290 Cookie Fresh deals on contract
The Korean mobile phone innovator LG Electronics is expanding its Cookie line-up first with the successor to its acclaimed LG KP500/501Cookie handsets, the Cookie Plus, and now it gets a new family member with the LG GD290 Cookie Fresh. It’s another non-smartphone sporting the touchscreen monoblock form factor with a trendy social networking integration from a Facebook native client.
Without 3G/HSDPA data connectivity, WiFi and GPS SatNav functionality, this is a more affordable feature phone than the Cookie Plus and can be an attractive alternative to budget-conscious markets that don’t mind light features on a capable feature phone.
Light Features up Close
The Cookie Fresh gets a quad band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) with Class 12 GPRS/EDGE for up to 48 Kbps data connectivity speeds on the 2G network. Local data transfers get Bluetooth 2,1 and microUSB 2.0 for wireless and wired day sync options, respectively.
