Amazon.com Product Description
Offering a sophisticated design developed with Italian luxury fashion house Prada that's mixed with a cutting edge user interface technology from LG, the tri-band PRADA Phone by LG (KE850) brings much more to the party than just stunning good looks. Its minimalist, black-tie industrial design has been complemented by a 3-inch touch screen that enables you to control virtually all the phone's functions with just your finger--no stylus needed. It's also loaded with bounty of features you expect from a top-of-the-line mobile phone: 2-megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach optics, Bluetooth connectivity for stereo headphones, multi-format digital audio player, FM radio, MicroSD expansion, and PIM organizer applications to keep you on schedule. 
Sleekly designed with a gorgeous black-and-silver fashion/industrial look, the PRADA phone measures just 0.5-inches thin. | 
Turn the PRADA Phone over to take 400 x 240-pixel widescreen video or 2-megapixel still photos. | This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides tri-band voice connectivity (GSM/GPRS 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz), enabling you to travel the globe and stay in contact. It also can handle high-speed data connectivity via EDGE data networks, which is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. Amazingly small with a body that measures 3.9 x 2.1 x 0.5 inches, the PRADA Phone weighs just 3 ounces (50 percent less than the Apple iPhone). The candybar has an understated, Avante-Garde design that resembles a highly styled high-definition television. It features a piano-black casing on the back and on the front surrounding the screen, and its features are softened by gently rounded corners. The sides are accented by a polished silver metal. You'll interact with the PRADA Phone primarily with your finger on the 3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen, which has a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and a display capability of 256K colors. The Flash-based user interface displays glowing icons that disappear when not in use to reveal a stark black Prada theme. However, the UI can be changed to one of three pre-loaded themes--the Butterfly and Fish themes actually place a small creature on the standby screen that can follow your finger around. The standby screen is also home to the clock, which is operated with finger taps and can be dragged around the screen. The PRADA Phone offers a virtual numeric keypad, instead of a virtual QWERTY keyboard, for dialing of numbers and writing text messages (with help from the integrated T9 predictive text entry technology). The main menu system is arranged like tabbed folder pages full of icons and is intuitive and quick to learn. 
At just 3 ounces, the PRADA Phone is less than half the size of Apple's iPhone. | The display can't be used with a stylus because of its capacitive touchscreen technology, which requires a human touch. Coated with a material that stores electrical charges, this capacitive touchscreen uses electro-conductivity to sense your touch and then sends precise horizontal and vertical location information to the processor about the charge that gets drawn at the point of contact. Unlike Apple's iPhone, the PRADA Phone does have a number of real off-screen buttons and controls. The call control and back keys are on the front of the device, a lock key and a multi-function camera/music key are on the right edge, and the ring profiles key, volume control, and charger/headset port are located on the left edge. The 2-megapixel, auto-focus camera features a lens made by Germany's Schneider-Kreuznach, which is known for it's high level of optics quality. It tops out at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels, but also offers a range of resolution choices down to 320 x 240 pixels. It includes a self-timer, three quality modes, four color effects, white balance settings, a choice of shutter sounds, and a multishot mode. You can also shoot video clips with several resolution choices (including 400 x 240-pixel widescreen, matching the PRADA Phone's screen, and the more standard 176 x 144 QCIF). The Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity includes profiles for communication headset, data transfer and the A2DP Bluetooth advanced audio profile, which enables you to stream audio to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. The integrated digital audio player offers support for a variety of formats (MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, RA), as does the video player (MPEG4, H.263, H.264). Your entertainment options are expanded even further with a built-in FM radio (which is used in tandem with the included headset attached, as it serves as the antenna). While not fully considered a smartphone, the PRADA Phone comes equipped with document viewers offering compatibility with today's most widely recognized file formats, including text files, PDFs and Microsoft Office documents--Word (.doc), Excel (.xls), and PowerPoint (.ppt) files. It also includes a full range of personal information management (PIM) organizer applications (calendar, to do list, world clock, unit converter, and calculator). With its fast USB 2.0 connection, the unit can also be used as a mass storage device. The phone has an expansion slot for MicroSD memory cards, which currently provide a maximum capacity of 4 GB of storage (as of August 2007). Other features include: - Phonebook stores up to 1000 contact entries with up to four numbers, one e-mail address, and a memo field for each entry
- Call log records 40 dialed/received/missed calls
- Support for polyphonic and MP3-based ringtones (40 channels)
- Vibration mode
- Pre-loaded games: Halloween Fever, Photo Puzzle, Virus, Pipe
- Proprietary port for headset jack
- Speakerphone for handsfree communication; voice recorder
- SMTP and POP3 email
- SMS and MMS messaging
- WAP 2.0 Web browser

just simply totaly awsome September 1, 2008

its just chevere....
 Non responsove - worst experience ever August 28, 2008
This is the worst cell phone I have had so far.
Yes, it is true the phone looks sleek and stylish, however user experience is as bad as it gets.
For one, the dialing responds to the heat of your fingers and not the actual touching so you can bang on it as long as you want but it would not work unless it is a worm finger LOL (yes ladies cut your nails and take your gloves off...). Sometime it really takes a while to dial a number and you have to repeatedly touch the number until the phone recognized what you are doing ..........
In addition to this, when dialing voicemail, while listening to the actual message very often the phone feels the heat from your ear and dials the nearest number (eg. 7 to delete the message before you are even done listening to it).
There seems to be a recurring issue with software when the screen freezes and you need to take out the battery and turn it back on to work.
Last but not least, after about 4-5 month of use the sound in my phone completely disappeared it's like it is on mute - except that it's not. Still rings but you can't have a conversation with anyone because you do not hear them and they cannot hear you.... I will try and see if I can get my money back although it might be a little too late.
My advise - avoid this phone. There are other phones out there - do your research and get one that works.
 A case for the exact in a phone that's remains true to it's name on a phone August 19, 2008
Clean and sharp functioning that merges to create the best leather case holder on a phone that tries to remain mobile. I know this from purchasing every new model phone before it arrived on our market place store over the last 7 years, and in every case it was the holder that made it less. But with this one operating the first touch screen which was released 6 months prior to the "I" or the apple in everyones eye - as all systems from the world connect so as to "use us" to better connect our relationships to them, all phones will soon be following this one and suit their models in better leather bound cases hoping catch the latest and greatest of all the worlds technologies, us. Fortunately we are still way ahead of them.
The best part is hearing this one's unique ring tones in relationship to any that we've ever heard. Each has a personality to sounds that we've all heard but just never on a phone.
One Star Because Box Seal was Broken August 11, 2008

I'm assuming the original box seal was broken to unlock the phone. However everything looks new and I will update my rating once I put in a SIM and use this phone. Product looks very sophisticated and nicely manufactured despite the LG label..
Not bad....but I like my Prada shoes better July 3, 2008
I was in line for the iPhone for 12 hours only to be disappointed by Steve Jobs. It turns out, there were plenty of iPhones' for all. I liked it, but it was bulky and I never used the data plan. True to form, I sold it and bought a Prada phone. I hated the Prada phone at first, I didn't understand who on earth would compare it to the iPhone. After a few weeks I realized it wasn't meant to compete with the iPhone (or any other smartphone) and I started to become a little more satisfied with it.
Well, that was a long time ago and now I'm on my second Prada phone. I broke the first one and had to buy a second. Anyways, it you need a phone for calling and texting this one gets the job done. If you want email and internet, you need to look elsewhere - seriously.
Also, do NOT use the case that comes with it. It will scratch the h*ll out of the phone.
