The LG Cookie GT350 incorporates a QWERTY slider with a 3-inch touchscreen at WVGA resolution and a four-line keyboard. The phone integrates many popular social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and so on.
Users can view all status updates from multiple accounts in a single screen and can also check out other profiles as well as update their own profiles. There is a dedicated social network shortcut key for this. There are easy-to-access buttons to access push email, web browser and messaging.
The LG Cookie GT350 will be available in five colors, Aqua, Purple, Light Silver and Black, and will go on sale in the UK starting June 2010. The LG Cookie GT350 is essentially an upgraded version of the earlier KS360, which had racked up sales of over five million units since launching in 2008. The only difference is that the GT350 model will have an increased focus on social networking sites.
There is no word yet on whether it will support Wi-Fi or 3G.

Fewer details of the LG Cookie GS290 are available. The GS290 cookie is a more affordable phone, again with social networking features and will be available in the UK from mid-March 2010, reports say.
There is no information about the price of the LG Cookie GS290 but it expected to be an affordable full touchscreen phone as it is targeted at touchscreen-crazy teens.
LG has been launching phones left, right and centre, in the past one month. It had just come out with its LG GW620 mobile and it also officially announced the upcoming release of the svelte Mini GD880smartphone.
Two days before the launch of the LG Cookie GT350 and LG Cookie GS290, the company launched the successor of its LG Cookie phone, the LG Cookie Plus touchscreen phone that comes with 3G, LG’s LiveSquare application, support for up to 40 widgets, Bluetooth, USB, and FM Radio.
