Good points:: QWERTY keyboard for texting
Bad points:: The phone is NOT as described, its colour is actually SILVER and not dark grey (it is even labelled as "silver" on the box from LG, so quite where "dark grey" came from is beyond me!

Manufacturer's Description

Mobile Phone with 3” Full Touch Screen, Stylus Pen, Handwriting Recognition, and M-Toy Games
If you want the latest technology, the LG Cookie touch screen phone is for you. Featuring a full 3” touch screen with auto-rotating display, the Cookie lets you interact in ways you never thought possible, including motion sensor games that react to your movements, a Stylus Pen for adding a personal touch to photos and text messages, and an on-screen QWERTY keyboard.

3" Full Touch Screen
Take interactivity to the next level by controlling all your phone’s functions with a wide touch screen. A larger screen makes touch-navigation smooth and easy, with vivid icons, larger movies, and stimulating games.

M-Toy (Games)
LG M-Toy games aren’t like the one-dimensional games on other mobile phones. M-Toy uses built-in motion sensors that respond to your hand movements for a unique kind of mobile entertainment that never gets old. Turn, flip, and shift the handset to play great games like fishing and darts, and enjoy advanced sights, sounds, and movement.

Customisable Widgets
Customise your mobile phone’s interface with fun and useful mini-applications like weather, calendar, music player, photo gallery, and more.

Handwriting & Stylus Pen
Concealed in the base of your mobile phone, the Stylus Pen lets you write and send handwritten messages, translate handwriting into type with handwriting recognition, edit photos, and more.

Auto-Rotating Display
Auto-rotation is another smart mobile feature from LG. When you rotate your mobile device sideways-in camera- or messaging-mode-motion sensors automatically respond for enhanced functionality. In camera mode, you’ll enjoy a wide landscape view and panoramic pictures. In messaging mode, you’ll enjoy an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that makes it easier than ever to text message.
