The LG GX500 is a stylish touch screen handset that will be launched as LG’s third dual SIM phone in May 2010. It seems LG are going head to head with Alcatel, as they too are releasing a new dual SIM phone around the same time as LG.

The features of the new Alcatel mobile phone are not common knowledge yet, although in appearance it is a more old school phone with an alphanumeric keypad in a block style. Whereas, the new LG GX500 feels much more modern, with a swanky touch screen and a slim feel.

The new dual SIM type phones are quite hard to come by, although, this type of phone is growing in numbers, and it seems that other well known brands of mobile phones will be following suit with a dual SIM functionality.

The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is the latest phone from the masters of the budget touchscreen mobile phone. In terms of where the Cookie Fresh sits in the LG Cookie range it is definitely below the Cookie Plus. The Fresh takes some of the new features of the Cookie Plus but then discards others. There is a new 3.5 mm audio jack but the 3MP camera has now been replaced by a 2MP camera.

LG Cookie Fresh GS290

As you may have guessed the Cookie Fresh is more affordable than the Cookie Plus but given the features you get for your money it still packs a punch. Whilst the phone may not be top of the range it feels comfortable in hand. All in all, given the low price tag, we think this phone is a good buy and should become a popular touchscreen mobile phone.

The phone will be available in a wide range of colours such as: silver, orange, purple, blue, black, and lime.
