LG Prada (KE850) Mobile Phone Review

LG’s most elaborate fashion phone, the KE850 or as it’s better known, the Prada. To be fair to LG, the Prada phone arrived ahead of the Apple iPhone and it features a touch interface, although, it is not quite multi-touch. The phone itself is tiny for a touch screen device, as it measures just 99×54x12mm (HxWxD) and weighs a mere 85 grams. This in itself makes the Prada phone quite attractive, although that depends if you don’t mind being without a physical keypad or not.

..It lacks a lot of functionality, but so does the iPhone. Do people care? Well, again, it depends what you’re using your phone for. It will work great as a stylish and hip phone for consumers interested in an easy to use phone with impressive quality screen and fancy OS. For consumers looking for the ability to quickly type up business messages or those looking for high-speed web surfing, it fails here with no 3G support, just EDGE (2.75G) which is much slower.

You get a funky new phone complete with Prada logos and some features, which are mildly impressive, but asking price has surely got to make it a hard sell for what you get when all is said and done.
