LG Prada KE850

review DATE:06.08.07

LG Prada KE850
With Case Back Camera Full Set

review

By Sascha Segan

Sure, part of the Prada's high price is the luxury-brand appeal. But LG's KE850 phone isn't just a pretty logo. This handset is a capable device with an innovative interface. In fact, the Prada not only looks a lot like Apple's long-awaited iPhone, it shares many of the features of that upcoming vaunted über-communication product.

Bottom Line

It looks like Apple's upcoming iPhone and has a lot of the same features, but it'll appeal primarily to the very well-heeled—which is just the way Prada wants it. It doesn't match up to the iPhone's expected PC-syncing capabilities, but it's still an elegant, unusual, and powerful handheld.

Pros

Unusual touch-screen interface. Luxury brand and feel. Excellent music and video playback quality. Surprisingly long talk time.

Cons

No 3G. Relatively quiet earpiece. Poor PC software.
