LG Prada

“Well, this review is closing to its end. The Prada phone by LG is a fascinating device and we enjoyed reviewing it. Sometimes experiments turn out to be less impressive and less successful than they might have been expected. This is surely not the case with the LG Prada phone.Sophistication made simple is the most appropriate tagline that would best describe the concept of this highly fashionable and highly expensive handset. Almost everything about it is made as simple as it can get, while at the same time it is a revolutionary step as compared to joystick or D-pad operated handsets.The Prada phone by LG is surely a quick winner in the fashionable market segment and it comes with a price tag to match it. If you don't mind the lack of 3G and you are not much into web surfing from your handheld you would be delighted at what this baby can offer you - a killer fashion statement plus the enjoyment of using a state-of-the-art technological achievement.”

“There is no denying that the LG KE850 Prada phone is an elegant piece of kit. People want to touch it as soon as they see it, which is great since the device is operated almost exclusively by touch. But the user interface has its share of problems that are going to turn off a lot of people, text entry and contact management are particular problems, but it is also a device that you interact with more than just use, and that is worth something. As far as multimedia goes, the music player might be pretty weak, but at least the camera is solid and extremely easy to use. And did I mention how pretty it is?The burning question is: can you live with this phone? Personally, I really want my own Prada phone. I view it as something we might look back upon in 15 years and muse to ourselves Ah yes, that's where it started. I also genuinely enjoy using it...most of the time. A device like this demands as much from its user as the user does from the device. Compromises have to be made. You want to look like a rock star out on the town with your entourage? This is the phone you need. It won't be cheap. It might not be easy to live with, either. But there is something about it that makes you put up with its deficiencies. It is the price the KE850 exacts from its owner for making them look good. But if you ever wanted to be, or date, a super model, this Prada designed handset from LG could be the next best thing.With some reservations due to the usability issues, I still give the LG KE850 Prada phone a Recommended rating for those with the bucks and the desire to own it.”
