LG Electronics Canada today announced LG Cookie Plus mobile phone is now available from Tleus.

The new device features a three inch touchscreen display (240 x 400 resolution), 3 Megapixel camera, HTML Browswer, LF widget gallery of 13 applications, blutooth connectivity, music player and a microSD slot which can accept memory cards up to 32GB in size.

The LG Cookie plus comes in pink or charcoal will sell for $179.99 without a contract; $129.99 on a 1-year contract; and $29.99 on a three year deal.

To me, the only attraction would be for someone who's lost/broken their dumbphone mid-way through their contract. This would allow them to replace their old dumbphone for a reasonable price ($179) and upgrade to a featurephone.

Someone actually willing to sign a 3 year contract would be insane not to pay the extra $50 for the HTC Desire.

How many dumbphone users will mistake this feature phone for a smart phone? I suppose the attraction maybe that it does not require a data plan?
