I got a pretty good deal, converted in Peso it's around PHP7,341 shipped. I got the Vandyke Brown with the red accent..was thinking of getting the Black one but I find it too plain jane, too common for my taste..to each his own I guess). Plus I ordered a black rubberized hard case (so in effect, it will be "black")..to avoid breaking the thin digitizer lens (based form other owners complaints).
I assume that the oem KP500 body somehow flexes/bends a bit when worn in pant pockets (though I have no real plans on doing that..from experience, it's very uncomfortable to pocket a pda style phone, though I plan to use it in shirt pockets).
The way I see it, when the phone is pocketed the hard case will absorb the flexing first (imagine an "egg shell") leaving the main Cookie body intact/firm thus avoiding flexing and breaking the digitizer lens...

I was able to see a silver one ( I was eyeing for it initially ) but upon seeing it and checking it up close and personal...it looks cheap... So black is much elegantly looking....actually looks like IPhone in a way ( my lil bro has a 3gs IPhone and I dont fancy it really )
There is also a black with red accent which also not so good to look at. lol
I so love my baby cookie!

Btw, I'm at a bind if I would get the Samsung S5230/Tocco Lite or the KP500/LG Cookie..but it seems that the Sammy is no less reliable than the Cookie.
With that said, the LG seems to be cheaper now, has more user support/forum help, parts replacement availability (such as Ebay) and available firmware updates in the interwebs for the KP500...looks like I'll be jumping for the Cookie soon.

Finally I have the chance to buy and get this phone today. I was originally planning to get this directly from the LG Shop which was recently opened last July @ Robinsons Galleria to be certain that I have decent, reliable, and original LG Cookie.
Alas! I went there and it actually cost more than I expected without a memory card, without an extra screen protector, and without any extra freebies ( which I thought I will be given something for buying directly form their shop lol ) But luckily enough, I was able to discover this teenie little mobile shop which seems and look like legitimate to me...I was offered Php9,400 +1 year warranty with NTC Certified registration,a 2GB external memory, and also a sleek leather case which has an interior silicone covering!
And the version is v10d...and I so loooooving it!

I'm on the fence on getting a KP500...after reading several owner complaints on cracked digitizer lens screens just by inserting it inside garment pockets, etc., I can't imagine the flimsiness/questionalble quality of this phone!
How is the long term reliability of the KP500? I'm not rough on cellphones (always keep them in protective cases/screen protectors, etc)...except for the occasional accidental drops, I'm concerned that if I do get this phone..it will not last me a year, even with careful use.
