In what seems like a sudden move, computer giants HP have bought the suffering mobile phone manufacturers Palm for 1.2 billion US dollars. Palm haven’t been doing well for a while now so hopefully HP can bring it back to life and give the brand a real chance at competing in the smartphone world.

A good reason HP have acquired the company is the promising webOS seen on the Palm Pre which could be a real crowd pleaser if utilized to it’s full potential. The CEO of Palm (who started his career at HP) will remain part of the company and is said to be excited about the acquisition.

Elsewhere LG have announced their financial results for the first quarter in 2010. Unfortunately sales and profit are lower than expected, despite increased shipments; profit fell on year on year basis (19.7%) due to the heavy focus on emerging markets. LG are confident that this will change dramatically in the second quarter with a number of smartphones being released including the GT540 and the Cookie 2.

Mobiles Please compares all available LG mobile phones to get you the best deal on the market.

Sony Ericsson Jalou

If you need your phone to be the ultimate fashion accessory then the beautiful Jalou from Sony Ericsson is a facet cut shaped flip phone measuring just 73 x 45 x 18mm; ideal for popping in a tiny bag and dancing the night away! Underneath the glossy exterior the Jalou has a great spec including a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, video record and calling support, media player and FM radio. Connectivity wise there is HSDPA, EDGE and Bluetooth. This phone is ideal for someone who loves to stand out in the crowd with a great piece of arm candy.

Nokia 6600 slide

Phone manufacturers LG have announced another follow up to the original Cookie. The GS290 Cookie Fresh is the third device from the popular Cookie range which also includes the recent GS500 Cookie Plus.

Hoping to continue on its older brother’s success the Cookie Fresh has a pretty similar spec sheet but sees its camera downgraded to 2 megapixels and unfortunately no longer has 3G. The funky cartoon user interface still remains and a 3.5mm audio has been added for those who love to use their own headphones. Other features include an FM radio, social networking integration and Bluetooth behind the 3 inch resistive touchscreen. The cute Cookie is going to be available in 10 colours to suit all kinds of mobile users and will be launched in the UK and across Europe towards the end of March.

The original LG Cookie was a huge success selling more than 12 million units since its launch in November 2008. According to the Korean manufacturer, it shifted five million Cookies in the first nine months after it went on sale. If you love the Cookie range and can’t wait for its successors then Mobilesplease.co.uk compares hundreds of deals for the original Cookie in a range of colours.
