The LG Cookie, which first started shipping during in November 2008, is a low end touch screen device created for the masses. In July Dusan reported that it took LG just 9 months to sell 5 million, well here we are in December, a little over a year since the Cookie first hit the shelves, and the South Korean company has just announced that they’ve shipped their 10 millionth unit. Over 5 million were sold in Europe, 2+ million in Asia and 2+ million in Latin America.
“The sales record adds credence to our philosophy of studying consumer demands and offering a full touchphone that balances premium features with sleek design. LG will continue to shape the future by delivering products and technologies to satisfy the tastes and expectations of our consumers.” said Dr. Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Division.
LG has been releasing customized versions of the Cookie for different territories. In the Czech Republic for example, where hockey is a big thing, they released a Cookie with a built in hockey game and a cover with the logo of the Sparta Prague sports club. In the Middle East the Cookie shipped with a Koran and a compass that would point towards Mecca. A successor to the Cookie is planned for early 2010, which falls perfectly in line with February’s Mobile World Congress Event.
