LG KP500 gets named and priced
MobileCrunch —
... The main push behind this product was that it’d be affordable. According to GSMArena, “affordable” works out to about 170 euro (about 229 USD).

... they let the pricing remain a mystery until the launch. And now as the launch is imminent this month, LG let the cat out of the bag albeit with a name change.
The KP500 phone will now be known as Cookie and this Cookie will sell for around $230. Hats off to LG for pricing it just right which can prove a deterrent to 5800 XpressMusic sales in future in price sensitive markets because of the almost identical feature set.
