LG KM570 Cookie Gig Review Roundup

Cookies now won’t stay put – they want more space to do their thing. The new & latest LG KM570 Cookie Gig steps right into LG Arena field. With looks & camera to match & a Cookie-grade price tag, this phone is on track to go platinum. The Dolby mobile logo at the back hints at a knack for multimedia & the 4GB of included memory means there’ll be plenty of room for your music.

But we will not let the attractive face fool us, the Cookie Gig has its highs and lows – here they are in summary.

 

Major Key features:

• 3" 256K-color resistive TFT touchscreen of WQVGA resolution (240 x 400 pixels)
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
• 3G as well as HSDPA (7.2 Mbps)
• Widget-enhanced interface & Livesquare homescreen
• 5 megapixel autofocus camera among face detection
• D1 video recording @ 30fps, QVGA time-lapse and QVGA slo-mo video
• 4GB of included storage
• up to 16GB, microSD card slot
• Standard 3.5mm audio jack
• Standard microUSB port (charging)
• Dolby for Mobile audio improvement
• Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
• Accelerometer for screen auto rotate; turn to mute
• Landscape on-screen QWERTY keyboard
• FM radio with RDS & FM transmitter
• Office document viewer
• Social networking addition
• Smart dialing

Main Weakness:

• There is no Wi-Fi
• There is no GPS
• Low resolution screen (compared to LG Arena)
• Camera has no flash or caring cover
• Only 3GP video Recording
• Poor sunlight legibility
• Maximum email attachment size is 2.2MB only (both ways)
• There is no DivX/XviD video support
• There is no handwriting recognition support

So, the LG KM570 can not quite match the LG Arena, but no mistake – it’s a king between Cookies. The camera has the same high-end features as the LG Arena’s, and the inclusion of Dolby mobile & some iPod trickery earn the audio player high marks.

The Monte has a proficient web browser (with Flash support) & a decently sized 3” screen. The GPS can also transform the Monte into a suitable SatNav unit thanks to the free NaviExpert app. But, the free license is available for phones sold in the Czech Republic.

For the impatient readers, here’s a rundown of the Samsung S5620 specs – the good & bad of it.

• Quad-band GSM/EDGE, UMTS 900/2100, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps

• GPS receiver with A-GPS; Free GPS navigation with NAVTEQ maps
• Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, USB v.2.0

• DNSe sound improvements
• Find Music recognition service
• FM radio with RDS
• Office document viewer
• Smart unlock
• Social networking integration with direct file uploads

Main disadvantage Samsung S5620 Monte

• Free GPS navigation is for Czech Montes only

• Task manager cannot be used for switching between apps

If you’ve read our preview you’d know the S5620 Monte was orange-on-grey back then. Samsung have clearly changed their mind since & put a tux on the Monte – it’s now grey on black – a bit more conventional.
