Although LG hasn’t officially announced the Cookie Fresh GS290, that doesn’t stop the company from having the device on display at this year’s CeBIT in Germany.
Specs wise, the new member of the Cookie family comes with a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen, 2-megapixel camera, EDGE data, 3.5mm headset jack, media player, social networking client(s), FM radio, and presumably Bluetooth connectivity support and microSD memory card slot.
Again — just like that’s the case with other Cookie phones (the recently announced Cookie Plus included) — the Fresh GS290 will be sold to young savvy users who more often than not spend tons of their time on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Samsung, LG’s archrival, has Corby family of devices (that even includes the Corby Bluetooth headset – WEP490) and it managed to move quite a few of them. LG is following the suit, trying to get its share of the still dominated-by-Samsung market. And it’s slowly getting there, steadily stealing market share from other handset makers… We’ll keep watching, you keep reading, k?

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
