It’s been a few months since we first heard about the LG KP500 “Cookie”, but it has finally made its way onto the shelves in various parts of the world. Even after all this time, I still have a little bit of trouble calling the phone the “Cookie” without hurting a little inside.

As expected, the Cookie KP500 will set you back right around $220 USD (£99). That’s not too bad, considering it packs a 3″ touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, FM radio, and an accelerometer. Throw in a few carrier rebates, and it’s a solid option for anyone looking for the basic smartphone experience on the cheap.

Check out the promo video after the jump, complete with a girl air-piano’ing Mozart in the creepiest way possible.
