My verdict: Considering that 3G and 3MP camera as important factors now a days LG Cookie plus can be preferred over Cookie Fresh. But if you are a basic user with not much requirement of high speed 3G connection and camera you can definitely go for Cookie Fresh available at Rs. 5962. Apart from 3G and 3Mp camera all basic features are nearly same. If you are searching for reliable Symbian touch screen handset(S60V5) below Rs 1000 then you can check out Nokia 5235 available at Rs. 8500.

My lovely new LG Cookie no longer would seem as appealing since a person appears to be to are already able to hack into my phone and access the internet although I’m asleep. I purchased it from your O2 shop and have an O2 sim card. O2 are certainly not in any respect very helpful but over £42 worth of credit has been sucked out of my pre-paid account. Any suggestions about wherever I can come across out ways to solve this problem?
