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.

Looks like touch is the way to go, seeing how even non-smartphone touchscreen handsets are kicking up a storm these days.  It is now LG’s time to toot its horn again, this time with the LG KP500, more widely known as the Cookie, which has surpassed the 2-million-unit mark in just five short months since its release and still going strong.  Dr. Scott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications, had this to say on reaching the milestone:

We wanted to allow more people to benefit from the advanced touch technology that we introduced in previous touchscreen handsets.   Because of our extensive background in touchscreen handsets, we are now able to bring this innovative technology to consumers at an affordable price without compromising quality with the LG Cookie.

More peer pressure on the LG Arena to perform better, even if it was preordered a million times before its release, don’t you think?
