LG has added a new batch of Cookies to its successful Cookie line of smartphones and they are – LG Cookie T300, LG Cookie T310 and LG Cookie 3G T320. These three new touch screen feature phones are affordably priced and directed towards the budget conscious consumer seeking a full touch screen smartphone.

The LG Cookie T300, also known as Wink, is the least endowed of the three and will be available in the market in September. The other two models, LG Cookie T310 and LG Cookie 3G T320, have more features and are expected to be priced higher.

The new Cookies are the first phones from LG to have full touch screens with virtual QWERTY keypads. These devices are integrated with social networking services for instant messaging and email. The dedicated user interface of the Cookie series is optimized to access social networks faster. The easy to view chat-like interface keeps all conversations and messages in a single thread.

Common Features

Radio and Data connectivity wise, all the Cookies are world phones that support Quad band 850/200/1800/1900 with class 10 GPRS/EDGE. These phones also feature Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and microUSB v2.0. But they lack the GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity.

All the Cookies come in a variety of double toned body colors like black and red, black and titan silver, pink and white, and finally white and orange. These phones support the same TFT resistive touch-screen with 240 x 320 QVGA resolution and 256,000 colors. They also feature a cartoon user interface and handwriting recognition.
