Review: LG KF900 Prada Phone Part 1 Introduction
Review: LG KF900 Prada Phone Part 2 Technical

The original LG Prada has set a standard for exclusive fashionware. It was a bare touch screen phone, which stands out to be the best way to travel in style with little or no weight. This time, LG stepped out with a new Prada, it carries a full QWERTY keypad and its packed with loads of goodies. With its premier functionality and the newly updated interface, it certainly promises a whole load in the tech department, but will it still be glamour enough to lure the ladies?

So, with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, QWERTY and DivX, where is the chic-ness of it. Is LG still focus with their target audience?

The LG KF900 Prada is out there competing with a few lone rangers (princess). The Samsung Emporio Armani, Sony Ericsson Rose, and others. The design and the appeal from the Prada phone does attract attention, but with its plea to the crowd (being conservative), can it match up with its competitor that are attracting the youths. That said, the Prada phone is still nonetheless attractive.

Well then, will all the fancy fancy techy points drains down the whole “it” factor of the Prada phone? Let’s roll down our sleves and check the phone out.
