Description
LG KP500 Cookie Touchscreen Pink, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished LG KP500 Cookie Pink Touchscreen, GSM unlocked, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Pink was a signature Cookie color, and the refurbished unit gives prop buyers and collector dealers a working pink example at a lower cost than new, while exporters use it for 2G GSM counters that sell on color. Ask about packaging before ordering.
The LG KP500 Cookie was LG's 2008 answer to the question of how cheap a touchscreen phone could be: a 3.0-inch full touchscreen at 240 x 400 pixels with an embedded stylus, handwriting recognition, an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that appears when the phone is turned sideways, a 3 MP camera, motion-sensor games, and LG's Active Flash user interface. It is a quad-band GSM phone with no 3G, sold in many colors and in very large volumes across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
TG Wireless supplies the Cookie to exporters serving markets with live 2G GSM service, to collector shops that want the full color range in original boxes, and to prop houses that need a recognizable 2008 touchscreen.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The KP500 Cookie is a 2G GSM phone on 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz with no 3G and no LTE. With US 3G retired in 2022 and T-Mobile's 2G GSM network closed on August 3, 2026, it cannot get service on any US carrier, regardless of lock state; see the network status line in the table. It still works on 2G GSM networks abroad, and its camera, music player, and games run without a SIM, which is what collector, prop, and display buyers need.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where 2G GSM service remains live and a low-cost touchscreen phone sells on price.
- Collector shops building LG's 2008 to 2009 touchscreen line in its full color range.
- Prop houses and set dressers that need a period-correct stylus touchscreen phone.
- Display, training, and parts stock for retailers and repair shops.
