LG has recently announced that it is now one very happy girl scout, having sold 5 million Cookies in just nine months.  The LG Cookie or the KP500 had already found 2 million customers in the first four months of its release, so hitting the 5 million mark barely three months later comes as no big surprise.  Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company remarked:

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.

We’ll be around to tell you if the Cookie crawls its way to the 10-million mark, and for all those Cookie users out there, remember that you now have a bestseller in your hands.
