LG Prada Phone sold 800,000 times in first Year

Topic:

The LG Prada phone sold 800,000 units globally in its first year on the market.

LG says in an article on Chosun that they still sell the phone for 880,000 Won, about $870 and do not give discounts. O2 in Germany hands out the LG Prada for 50 Euro (~$80) with contract right now. I cannot really imagine that O2 eats all of the difference. If it is really the case that LG charged $870 for each of the 800,000 sold Prada phones than this is really a nice success for the company and the fashion label Prada. Read more

Prada Phone Review

Topic:

Shiny Shiny published a review of the upcoming Prada Phone straight from the Prada Show from the Milan Fashion Week.

Quote from the review:
"From the lengthy play I had with it, Prada have definitely injected some of their high-end opulence into the mobile, right down to the ringtones. I was quite surprised by how industrial the eight ringtones were, they were almost sci-fi, and not the bubbly, almost euro-dance tunes I was expecting.
After seeing the Prada fashion show that night however, I understood their choice of music for the phone, for they matched the 'choons played as the models sauntered down the catwalk. "
Read the full review with video (love the accent).

Samsung F700 the ''Ueber'' LG Prada Phone?

Topic:

Samsung announced the Ultra Smart F700 Touch screen mobile phone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard this week. Taking a quiet minute today admiring the hi-res photos Samsung published of the F700, it came to me that the User interface is similar to the LG Prada phone (see photo).

It is really a strange coincident that Samsung also goes with black background and simple white icons for the application menu on the F700. The LG Prada phone has the same look.
Feature-wise the Samsung F700 leaves the LG Prada phone in the dust with HSDPA, 5MP Camera, Slide-out QUERTY keyboard etc.

LG releases the Details on Prada Phone

Topic:

LG officially announces the Prada Phone. Word about a Prada mobile phone appeared early December.

Similar to the Apple iPhone the Prada Phone is also an all touch-screen mobile phone. The LG KE850 is of course all Prada black and features grey and white minimalist user interface. I like Prada 's minimalist fashion style that is why the look of the Prada Phone also is attractive to me. Others might say it is too boring.

Prada's involvement apparently really was more than just slapping their logo on the phone. LG says that Prada was involved in exterior aesthetics, user experience, ring tones, pre-loaded content, mobile phone accessories and the exclusive leather case.
