Pink and silver versions of the phone are now available alongside the original black version. The new variants even have a new model name, the LG-KP501, as opposed to the original LG-KP500, albeit the difference being one single digit. However, the KP501 not only has a new look and model name, but the call buttons have also been made slightly slimmer from the original.

Orange is selling both the pink and silver versions of the LG Cookie for £99.99 on prepay and free on a 24-month contract at £15 per month. The LG Cookie has been incredibly popular since it went on-sale in November last year. In fact Carphone Warehouse claimed in the run up to Christmas they were selling around 20,000 LG Cookie’s a week.

Both the pink and silver LG Cookie can be purchased from Orange stores and Orange’s online shop.

They may end up being too middle of the road to many consumers in the UK (and in other territories as well).

They have predicted that a handful of phones in the high-end will survive the pressure, contradicting LG’s strategy to move away from top-tier phones and concentrate most of their energy on low-mid range type phones. Some other companies are doing the same, and it may not end up being the right move in the short term.

This includes the BlackBerry Storm and the Apple iPhone, which carry considerable brand appeal from customers all over the world. The likes of LG and Samsung are believed to lack the brand value and iconic status of the most popular high-end handsets in the UK, though many of their phones have most of the same features.

This view reflects comments made by O2 CEO Ronan Dunne, who said the market was polarizing between basic phone deal shoppers and very high-end gadget fans. This would be true to some degree even in the US. It’ll be interesting to see how the market gets divided up this holiday season. We have a feeling many companies not named Apple or Blackberry will be pretty disappointed.
