...when I came across the LG Prada. This definitely isn't a smartphone, but straight away I was charmed by it's good looks, and no other phone I looked at compared to it. However, there was no way I was paying £400 for a phone so when one came up for £250 on ebay, I had to give up my hard earned cash.
~~What's in the Box?~~
Prada have gone all out with the packaging, it's one of those ooooo moments. It comes in a cube shaped leather effect navy box ... ...~~The Phone~~
Spec:
LG KE850 PRADA
Dimensions: 54mm x 99mm x 12mm
2 megapixel Camera
MP3 Player
FM Radio
Triband technology
The phone looks really good, it's got a highly shiny black finish, with a silver band going round all the sides and silver buttons. It looks a lot bigger on your computer screen, so I was pleasantly surprised to find how slim it is. It only weighs 98grams, so it's also really light ...

LG KE850 Prada
88888888888888
You may begin reading this review with a sense of dismay, that I have now obtained a Prada phone. Was it not bad enough that I wrote a review of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ after being invited to see it at its local premiere – a review well-worth reading ( hint, hint ).
Well potential purchasers of this phone can be assured that my reason for getting a Prada has nothing ( very much ) to do with male chavism, brand besottedness, ... ...clear reason, but you will need to read carefully through the rest of this review to discover the significant reason.
Here is a cool, considered, objective review of one of this year’s must-have phones.

Advantages: sleek, sexy, looks fantastic, touchscreen is cool, good accessories supplied Disadvantages: games suck, touchscreen is a little tricky at first, gets smudgey easily, price
...going to go for the LG Shine, but then I noticed the LG Prada and, like Sarah Jessica Parker says in her new really annoying perfume ad, “I had to have it”.
The first reason was because of the fact it was a designer phone. I could not consider myself in any way a label queen, but the idea of owning something designer, especially a phone, was a real draw for me. Secondly it LOOKS cool - black, slim line, extremely lightweight, shiny and classy. The ... ...touch of a button. The LG Prada is pretty good for this, although it may be worth having a look at the user’s manual to familiarise yourself with where everything is. Once you know, though, everything is easily found again. And it all seems so much EASIER than with a normal phone, due to the handy little symbols they use and, of course, the touch screen!
The one thing I DO have a bit of difficulty with at times is the address book, as sometimes ...

Advantages: Sexy looking phone, that people love to look at Disadvantages: Minor glitches that annoy at first
...they issued me with the LG Prada phone, a new ultra groovy slim line phone. I was a little reluctant to engage in the use of this phone, the combination of this dainty phone and my thumping fingers does not bode well for the survival of this phone. Dainty though this phone may look, it's far from a soft touch as I discovered having launched it across the floor on numerous occasions; but as usual I'm ahead of myself let's get down to the phone.
"It's ... ...the negatives into account the LG Prada phone is pretty good, initially the battery life seems flawed, but its only because you're playing with it so much. I can go roughly 5 days between charges now. The phone itself is by far (with exception of the I-Phone I guess) the hottest phone on the market. It's strong and resilient and draws attention each time you use it. And despite all this unlike other "tend" phones you don't see this everywhere, I ...

...(It also did with the LG Chocolate) and i thought the box was very relevant to the phone as being sexy, haha. They always say you would need to design EVERY aspect of the mobile phone that comes with it. +Phone Analysis+
You would just love this wide 3 inch touch screen. The design is so simple yet so powerful. The silver strip that goes along the side of the phone really does give the distinctive style to it. At the back of the phone, you see the ... ...touch pad sensitivity with the LG Chocolate and i have found that Prada Phone is less sensitive. The camera on this phone is quite good. At daylight, it's perfect, however, at night, it is very hard to take photos. The flash is available however, it is one of those flash that just turns the bulb on. Also, whenever you are on the camera mode, the orientation changes to landscape maximising the resolution. The quality of the mp3 player is not too bad ...

...only place you find the LG logo, hidden from view as if to distance itself from the LG company.
The functions of the phone can be very good, everything is self explanatory from the touch icons on the screen and everything seems very responsive.

Advantages: Stylish and Attractive, New adjusted sensitivity of touch screen Disadvantages: Not ideal for people on the go
The LG Prada phone is very similar to all other touch screen phones on the market at the moment. However, LG have used the customer feedback they recieved from their previous LG Chocolate phone and developed a less sensitive touch screen, making this phone more usable. The phone itself is stylish and sleek, and even comes in a very attractive Prada gift box complete with Prada accessories. It also includes a protective cover for the phone to avoid ... ...The main downfall for the LG Prada is it is not a phone for those people on the go. The touch screen is easy to use with full concentration, however, does not allow for use when full attention is not being paid. Due to the nature of the touch screen, when typing a text message or even selecting an entry from the phone book, users must concentrate on the screen; there are no definable buttons to type a text by touch and can result in calling wrong ...

Advantages: sleek,flashy,compact,has a leathercase coming with the hand set Disadvantages: not user friendly,freezes often,low battery stand out time
I had bought LG prada 1 year ago and other than headaches , it has not given me anything. I spent around $900 to gain this 'headache'.
It boasts of a touch screen, 2megapixel camera ,Mp3, video, FMradio,
world clock, internet browsing etc.
The so called touch-screen is so slow that even when you press the return key at the bottom to go back to the main screen ,it takes atleast 45 seconds to take you back. And then you cannot access the key pad ... ...the flip side, the LG Prada has a distinctive, sleek look that will catch the eyes of everyone near you when you unsheathe the handset from its leather case.
Like the iPhone, there is no keypad, and it has very few buttons at the bottom and sides so the appearance is very smooth and glossy. It is about 54 millimetres across and 98.8 millimetres tall, the KE850 is compact and eyecatching ; it fits snugly into one hand. But alas all that glitters ...

...leather cube box of the LG Prada I was surprised it actually looked as stylish as it did in the pictures I have seen while searching Google also the box complimented the phone. I wanted a phone what looked good and didn't break the bank so I got mine from a friend (£60), I've had the phone for well over 6 months now, When I first took the LG Prada into college. It soon got noticed and a lot of people were asking whether they could have a go with ... ...is good compared to other LG phones with all features and looks you can't complain, and you may well get comments on its looks overall I would recommend this phone to people!

Advantages: Fantastic Look, Memory, Easy to use, Designer. Disadvantages: Camera quality, Picture quality, Screen becomes mucky easily with handmarks.
I would describe the LG Prada as a phone that benefits our personal look but as for technology, there is nothing that jumped out at me when i bought the phone. I half expected the phone to have new functions and to have better themes, however i was extremely dissappointed with the poor camera quality and the lack of themes.

Although i though touch screen phones would be difficult to use, it is infact extremely easy to get the hang of. The memory holds many photos and contacts, and upto 300 messages at one time.

It has a large screen which is perfect to view pictures and videos and also makes ...

Advantages: LOOKS GREAT; ALL TOUCH SCREEN Disadvantages: FREEZING; EASILY DAMAGED
I had this phone 6 months ago on contract. When I first had it, it was great, nice looking phone, everything touch screen and good features. I still love the phone but can sometimes find it to be a complete nuisance. The screen gets dirty very quickly but also the case scratches very badly as soon as it comes in contact with any sharp objects such as keys etc. As soon as you drop the phone in your pocket with a set of keys in it's wrecked so not ... ...a night out. It does have a nice protective case that comes free with the phone but it's so simple to forget to put it back in there before you put the phone back in your pocket.

A lot of people complain about having trouble texting on the phone but to be honest after a while it's exactly the same as texting ...

It fits well in your hand at 98.8mm tall, 54mm wide and 12mm thick. It weighs just 85g, and its black and silver colouring looks modern and and very stylish.
The screen measures three inches corner to corner, and delivers 240 x 400 pixels of data. The camera on this phone isn't the best and i've found it does a short pause between when you press the button and when it actually takes the picture because in most cases the object has moved.
Also, ...

Advantages: stylish, touch screen, easy to navigate, Disadvantages: light/precious ,froze continuously, prada case scratched the housing, several times failed to charge
...I've now got the second LG PRADA in 2 weeks, I'm not at all wary because i figured i can't have so much bad luck as to have 2 phones break! Guess what? I was wrong! The second LG Prada i had didnt hold it's charge and any charge it did have didn't last half a day. So I returned that one to the same store in a different location (the one I purchased it from were quite rude) and ended up with my 3rd LG Prada in under a month! Some investment huh
I ... ...swapped my phone to the LG VIEWTY which really was a better phone
I think that the problem with this phone is that it is the first of it's kind. This was the 1st touch screen and maybe the manufacturers have learnt from all their mistakes and rectified them to create a better touch screen phone.
Don't get me wrong, the phone is absolutely becautiful and alot of people may not have these problems Although for me it was not a pleasant experience. ...
