The editors didn't like

  • Lacks too many of their features
  • No 3G
  • No Wi-Fi
  • Unresponsive resistive touch screen
  • Poor web browser
  • Disappointing camera
  • No 3G? No WiFi? Why not?
  • Crusty camera
  • Cheap and touchscreen still don’t go together if you like typing
  • The LG Cookie Fresh may be cheap
  • But that's because LG's rummaged through the insides and lifted all the most useful specs for the car boot sale. You won't find GPS on board (nor will you be able to run Google Maps)
  • Wi-Fi
  • Or even 3G
  • So web pages and emails take an age to load. The screen is resistive also

  • Abstract:  The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is a low cost, touch screened handset that suffers from the absence of Wi-Fi and 3G and also from having a screen too small for comfortable text entry. Its social networking apps may appeal, though there are many handsets off...

  • I must admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of phones from LG, but the GS290 has really impressed me. Despite the crowded main menu screen and below par camera, the phone itself is a really tidy little device. It certainly doesn’t look or feel cheap and t...

  • The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 carries a price tag of £99 in the UK. The price-tag looks especially good when you look at the phone’s feature-set. However, its performance is strictly middle-of-the-road and that takes away a whole lot from the phone. Nikhi...

  • The LG Cookie Fresh is a nice touchscreen phone and will satisfy the casual mobile user who wants a basic phone and to use for texting friends and listening to music. Social networking fiends and those who want to surf the web will be disappointed with...

  • No 3G, No Wi-Fi, Unresponsive resistive touch screen, Poor web browser, Disappointing camera
  • The LG Cookie Fresh updates the original Cookie, which we reviewed over a year ago. If you want a touchscreened handset and are strapped for cash, then it might entice at £129.99 (though as ever, shop around. We found it for £109 at Play.com). But at t...

  • Bright, clear screen; intuitive interface; good design
  • Low-spec camera; no 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity; occasionally bothersome touchscreen
  • The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 offers a decent resistive touchscreen and a smartly built interface. That makes it easy and fun to use. It's not going to trouble the iPhone and other smart phones, but it does offer good value for money ...
