Can't Wait for Apple's iPhone? Try The LG Prada

22/01/07

The Prada phone's touchscreen sits on top of a tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio, an 800mAh battery and, on the back, a two megapixel camera with LED flash. It has a MicroSD memory card slot for storage expansion, and Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 for device connectivity. It has full media playback features.

The KE850 is slightly smaller than the iPhone: 9.9 x 5.4 x 1.2cm to the Apple gadget's 11.5 x 6.1 x 1.2cm. But the LG lacks Wi-Fiished spec.
The Prada phone is a modified version of the LG KE850 handset which bears a close resemblence to the Apple iPhone. The phone has a 3.0 inch wide touchscreen, 2 Megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, Micro SD card slot, Bluetooth 2.0 and a media player. Glowing icons on the face of the phone disappear when not in use to reveal a pure, un-adulterated black exterior. The phone will come preloaded with exclusive Prada content including a classy B&W theme, ringtones and an exclusive leather case, inspired by the classic Italian craftsmen tradition.

The LG Prada phone measures 98.8 × 54 × 12 mm and rides on GSM Tri-Band (900/1800/1900) frequency along with EDGE. The phone will be avaialble at select Prada stores in the UK, France, Germany and Italy as of late February, 2007 for 600 Euros ($ 780) and Asian markets by March 07.
