Prada phone anyone???

Are you planning on getting the iPhone? Well, this might change your mind =) I personally think that the LG KE850 is more hip and chick...why? Coz Prada said so =P Yeap, this is another designer phone, to be exact LG-Prada crossover.

LG just went official with their iPhone look-a-like LG KE850 Prada phone which they proudly tout as the world's "first completely touch screen mobile phone." KE850 will hit select mobile shops and PRADA stores in the UK, France, Germany and Italy at the end of February and parts of Asia before March is through.

It's smaller than the iPhone at just 98.8 x 54 x 12-mm resulting in a more compact, 3.0-inch display presumably with that 240 x 400 resolution we heard about earlier. In case you're keeping track (and we know you are), the iPhone goes quad-band GSM with EDGE and WiFi in a 115 x 61 x 11.6-mm shell sporting a 3.5-inch, 320 x 480 display. Also, the KE850 seems to lack any significant on-board storage opting instead for microSD to boost capacity. Like the iPhone, it packs a 2 megapixel camera (with Schneider-Kreuznach lens and LED flash) and Bluetooth 2.0. However, there's no mention of multi-touch capabilities, an on-screen keyboard, or the accelerometer and proximity sensors found on the iPhone. Feature-wise, the KE850 comes with a video player supporting MPEG-4, H.264, and oddly, H.263 normally used for video conferencing; a document viewer supporting Microsoft's PPT, DOC, XLS formats, PDF and TXT; an audio player with support for MP3/ACC/ACC+/WMA/RA formats; and a "music multitasking function for messaging," whatever that is. How much? €600/$778... *gawwk* That would be like erm...3 to 4k RM!!!.

Oooo...prada

Oh wellz, that is the price you have to pay for those 5 letters 'P-R-A-D-A'. Although I think its way too expensive, I've a feelin I'm gonna be sucked in to buyin this phone. HELlllllp!!

Here is a video i've stolen from Engadget.. I don't know what the hell they are talkin but it has a nice view of the phone and its features.
