LG reports five million Cookies sold at bake sale
From the moment we first caught a glimpse of it to the day it was announced some nine months later, we always felt LG would have no trouble hawiking Cookies. Today the South Korean company confirmed our suspicions and announced that over 5 million of the devices have been sold. It’s a very impressive feat to sell five million devices, but LG Mobile Communications President and CEO Skott Ahn thinks the device also known as the KP500 has yet to fully reach its potential:
Achieving five million units in sales in only nine months is proof that we’re on track with our goal to make Cookie a phone that’s loved by everyone. Our strategy to provide a full touch screen phone at an affordable price has succeeded beyond our original expectations. If the current trend continues, we expect to see Cookie hit sales of 10 million by the end of this year.
So what does the class think about the Cookie reaching the 10 million sold mark; a realistic and achievable goal or insincere corporate bravado?
Om nom nom nom first!
I haven’t heard of this phone before
It’s the razr of touch screens. I mean it’s not a bad phone, but I doubt it reaches double where it’s at now.

I’ve played with one of these that a customer brought in. The touch screen is better than any other resistive touch phone I’ve used here in the states. At the price point, AT&T needs to get on the ball with this.
Heresy I say this is heresy!
**Nice achievement. Don’t know if they will reach the 10 Million.

My organic chemistry teacher was the inspiration for Jim Henson to create the cookie monster. I can truthfully say I was taught by the cookie monster.
if they bring it to the states, especially verizon, I say they reach the 10 million mark.
It might help if LG didn’t make stupid exclusivity agreements that mean the handset is only available on one network as a pre-paid device. To many time I have seen LG cripple sales of their own handsets this way, Nokia is the only company that refuse to do exclusivity deals.
It is already in the States. Small rural networks have it.
