Judging by its name LG Cookie Gig KM570, we are definitely talking on a handset that is, targeted at monomaniacs. The handset also comes equipped with the 3.5mm headphone jack, loudspeakers and 4GB built-in memory.
Let us firstly pay attention on its overall appearance of this handset. The LG Cookie Gig KM570 is similar to the ARENA KM900, a high-end model of their company in 2009. The body produced from plastic not metal. The back panel of this device has a smooth finish making it very easy to out of the hand. It is very light-weighted and easy to carry in your shirt pocket unnoticed.
The LG Cookie comes set in a 3 inches display, it is good; however the resolution is WQVGA not WVGA. Still, its image quality is average. The display, utilize resistive technology.

Interface:
The LG Cookie Gig KM570 comes equipped by the manufacturer's own interface for this feature phones through touch-sensitive screens. It is set with three different home display pages dedicated for favorite contacts, widgets and Live-square. The Gig is not exceptionally fast.

The keys are quite small also.

Camera and multimedia:
The camera features 5-megapixel sensor also has auto focus but lacks a flash. The interface is simple and offers all basic options.
Overall, its image quality is disappointing. Snapshots have sufficient details, particularly pictures on nearby objects. Colors are overly thin and surreal. The situation identical with videos that you capture, since they taken on a high resolution 720x480 pixels at 30 frames a seconds means it is relatively passable.
The LG Cookie Gig KM570 features a somewhat small amount of significant functions on an "all about music" phone and you have decent equalizer, Dolby Mobile, radio, filtering options, and FM transmitter which wouldn’t work until your headphones are plugged in. The Cookie audio playback qualities are average. The built-in earpiece pairs in brass also functions like a loudspeaker also. The sound sharp though. Its quality is not up to par in this respect.
Video playback also is not one of the strengths on the LG Cookie Gig KM570. The handset only managed playing MPEG-4 files coded in H.263. The maximum resolution supported is 720x480 pixels (D1)
Performance:
As mentioned, the earpiece and loudspeaker are in fact a "two in one" component. Sound through is rather sharp, making the voice of the caller rather annoying. Frankly, it is impossible to eradicate this excessive sharpness, as it remains very noticeable even when the volume turned down. The caller on the other end did not appear to have similar problem, however said it sounded surreal. Overall, in-call qualities are about average.
According to LG, its battery ought to last for around 4 hours for talk time and 100 on standby.

Well it is an ordinary phone if that is what you looking for.
