LG Prada Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Prada phone is a stunning phone featuring
a touchscreen display. It's Prada-branded and one of the best looking
phones currently available. It also features an array of gadgets including
a camera, music player and a built-in FM radio. But it's starting to
show its age now and there are better touchscreen phones available.
Best buy: The new Prada phone free from Dialaphone.
Review: April 2007. Updated July 2009.
 Well,
LG have been pushing fashion phones in a big way in recent years but
now by teaming up with Prada, they have produced their most stylish
phone yet. Wait, it's possibly the most stylish phone yet. It's
so cool it's not even allowed to have the LG logo on it, but is Prada-branded.
Yes, it's the LG Prada, or to give it its proper title, the PRADA phone
by LG. The Prada phone is the embodiment of minimalist chic, with its
gloss-black finish, slender size and um, hang on, no keypad! Yes, this
is a touchscreen phone, with buttons displayed on the screen. These
are not like the touch-sensitive buttons used in the LG Chocolate, but
actually appear on the LCD screen and change according to the current
menu function (see picture on right). There are two real buttons just
below the screen for send and return, so you can at least switch the
phone on and off without any trouble! There are also side buttons for
controlling volume, the camera and music player. There's a choice of
themes, but the default is black and white, which suits the look of
the phone very well. When not in use, the screen virtually disappears
from view, just like the Chocolate. The Prada has some specially designed
ringtones too, which frankly we found irritating, especially the ones
called "Noise" and "Man". You can listen to these
on the PRADA phone website.
Now, let's talk about this touchscreen thing. In theory touchscreens
are a great feature because 1) they're really cool, and 2) they eliminate
the space taken up by a keypad so you can make a compact phone with
a large screen. But in reality they suffer from certain disadvantages
- mainly the fact that they can be difficult to use and can drive you
nuts. The buttons are quite small, so you'll find it easier to use if
you have small fingers. So, this phone may be better suited to ladies.
However, if you have very long nails you may have some trouble. The
menu system is actually very intuitive, and once you've got used to
pressing the screen, you'll find it responsive and easy to use. Texting
is done via the virtual numeric keypad, which supports T9 predictive
text. This is probably the hardest thing to get used to. If you send
a lot of texts, you should think really hard before choosing the Prada.
On balance, the touchscreen interface is OK. Some may find it annoying;
others not. In any case, sometimes you've got to suffer a little to
look good! One other thing to point out is that the screen and black
casing will get covered in fingerprints very quickly (unless you wear
Prada gloves when handling the phone.) Prada have thoughtfully provided
a branded LCD cleaner, so you can look elegant even whilst cleaning
your phone. There's also an exclusive leather case, but why hide away
something this pretty?
Normally when a phone looks this good, the other functions tend to
let it down. But with the Prada, it doesn't just look nice, it does
all the tech stuff too. We're going to rush this bit, because the tech
stuff is probably not what most Prada users need to know. Here goes:
2 megapixel camera with flash - not the best ever, but good enough for
snapping friends in restaurants (or wherever owners of Prada phones
hang out); music player; FM radio; email with support for MS Office
attachments; microSD memory
card (expandable to 1 Gybte); Bluetooth & USB connectivity;
EDGE data transfer. Nothing significant missing. Battery life is slightly
less than average (probably due to powering the huge screen!)
In conclusion, the LG Prada fulfils its role as a high-fashion accessory
for those with enough disposable income to distance themselves from
the Chav crowd. It does everything you'd want (and more too), it is
very gadgety but without being nerdy, and it probably won't annoy you
too much with its touchscreen unless you're very impatient. In which
case, you probably didn't read to the end of this review anyway. The
new LG Viewty isn't Prada branded,
but incorporates a 5 megapixel camera and other improvements. The LG
Prada 2 launches in December 2008 and features a slideout QWERTY
keyboard.
Features of the LG Prada include:
- 2 megapixel camera with autofocus, light and 2x digital zoom
- Video camera
- Touch-sensitive screen: TFT, 262,000 colours, 240 x 400 pixels (3
inches)
- Music player (AAC, AAC+)

- Connectivity: USB, Bluetooth
- Phonebook (1,000 entries)
- Vibration alert

How can a phone be 5 stars and then 1 star puzzles me? I have had the
Prada 1 week and it is a decent phone, fills all my requirements (but
i did do my homework) some of the reviews below don't seem to be giving
the phone a chance. One big thing to remember regarding battery life.
When you buy a new phone you do use it more frequently hence the poor
battery life It is a phone you will get used to and if you When somebody

(In Response To Lisa) The battery bar issue will go away after a few
charges, it may occur when the battery is on extremely low then comes
up again to 2 bars and back down again but its not a serious issue,
infact its a sign the battery level indicator is too accurate, when
batteries get low generally when not in use they gain some charge back,
its just like that really, hope this helps and dont send your phone
back! (In response to bob the mole) Get a memory card (2 Gbytes is maximum
size) max 15 quid from ebay. I downloaded the gmail mobilephone application

well i've had this phone for a few days and have to say i'm very impressed.
the build quality is far better then i thought, with the touch screen
being very easy to use. yes it does attract fingerprints easily but
if your hands are fairly clean this is'nt such a big problem, plus you
can always wipe the phone on your trouser leg or t-shirt. the features
are standard for a phone of this type, its not a smartphone but does
cater for music lovers and has a fairly good camera. it won't beat a
standalone camera but will do if you need to take a picture on the spot.
all in all a very nice phone.

i got this phone about 3 weeks ago now i think, i love it completely
the screen size is amazing feels like a real camera when taking a picture.
Everyone who sees it thinks its amazing. And image means alot in society
today. The ringtones arent gr8 really so its best to get some mp3 songs
on there if i can ever manage to figure out how to do it....appreciate
it if some would ask me. I had two choices of new phones either the
W880i or this. I think i have made the right choice. I sat here for
house on this website reading the reviews both had positive and negative
reviews. But i love this phone its a great GIRLS phone as the touchscreen
is hard to use when u have large fingers as my guy mates have found
out when playing about with it. Yeah im girl not really in to techno

In continuation from my previous review. I have now had my Prada for
2 days. 2 words needed. LOVIN IT! It fits so snugly in my pocket or
hand. It is hardly noticeable. The screen looks gorgoeus and I love
the fishy theme. The sound quality is excellent. Very loud when it rings
or when I am speaking to someone. All round this phone excells and can
see myself sticking with it for a good long while, unlike most of my
other phones. Envirophone love me!!!! Keep sending them old mobiles.
So to all those doubters out there I salute you all (with one finger.)

PLEASE CONSIDER THESE COMMENTS 1ST - If you're looking for chic & stylish
& just use the basics of a phone then it's OK BUT if you really use
the functions offered by your phone, then it's not a smart buy - it's
so close to passing the grade but just doesn't quite make it in my opinion,
you're better off with a smartphone like the SonyEricP990i if you're
a serious user I eagerly bought the phone earlier than most when pre-released
by Prada on 13 May and have sadly already experienced many problems
with it - I'm desperate for LG to remedy its problems as I adore the
look of the Prada phone & do love the clean lines & touch screen (it
takes a little time adjusting to it) but it has already been returned
it to LG twice (once at LG's own request) for reinstallation & rectification
of unstable software & a number of bugs. These included: phone randomly
turning itself off, autolock freezed permanently, the calendar schedule
has a particular defect (an annual reminder will show up as highlighted
on the same date in every subsequent month as an "undefined schedule")
which is acknowledged by LG here in Singapore as currently being unrectifiable
(this may not bother many people but I use my calendar a lot & it is
a huge problem when you glance at each month for free dates & it looks
full of appointments on every day of that month), non responsive touch
screen whilst texting and entering schedules and many more trivial things
(eg. doesn't set the USB default setting to "data service" so each time
you turn your phone on/off & then try to sync with the LG software provided,
you have to reset the connectivity settings every time) but they do
all add up & become rather annoying over time. When transferring contacts/memos/schedules
from other phones via the LG sync software provided, you lose a lot
of data not catered for such as home & business addresses, emails &
you have to re-enter & then re-organise/edit these personally within
the software before uploadi ng back onto the phone. I certainly don't
recommend it for anyone with broad fingertips or long nails. I do a
lot of texting & it drives me totally insane - very fiddly & has an
illogical system when switching btwn caps, no caps & numerics with the
Shift button & the T9 entries are difficult & time consuming compared
to other non LG phones. Moving your cursor up/dwn, back/fwrd with the
arrows in the white screen when entering text is sooo time consuming
& fiddly & u constantly have to double touch & often miss the arrows.
I'm constantly having to edit on this phone which is a "first time"
for me. Seeing the screen in bright light is difficult. If group texting
multiple recipients, you can't just select a number of contacts in one
go, you have to go back & forth btwn the Contacts & your text & select
each name individually - forget about saving time with group texting.
Also the background Up/dwn scrolling arrows within the Contacts search
list is also frustrating when searchi ng names as it's far too sensitive
& often selects the name in the foreground. Generally, when searching
through the Contacts, you have to press far too many buttons to get
to where you want. Although the user interface is quite intuitive, it
often requires too many touches & can be time consuming. Camera & flash
quality not on par with most other phones. It's far too nice to put
in the leather case so cleaning it drives me nuts, fingerprints make
the screen dull and harder to see the numbers & the screen does scratch
very easily even though I use the casing regularly. BATTERY LIFE IS
UNDENIABLY VERY POOR if you use your phone alot - People call me all
day and it's dead before 6pm - the LG service guy told me realistically
it only lasts a max 36hrs on standby but if you're using it, less than
24 hrs. It looks so lovely but is somewhat disappointing - I've been
asked by LG to wait for a software "patch" to be developed by LG technicians
to fix the calendar issue so am holding on to my Prada for now but I
know I will inevitably & reluctantly be forced to go back to using my
old, unstylish but reliable Nokia phone & Blackberry until any of: the
much improved, next generation Prada LG, a smaller SEP990i or the Apple
i-phone is released.

I am 97% satisfied with the LG PRADA. My only problem is, I dont like
the fact you cannot change the ringtones for texts messages. You can
only choose from the ones already on the phone which consists of four
or five little jingles. My other phone, the Motorola KRZ1 allows you
to have any mp3 ringtone as an alert.

I've had my PRADA phone for a fortnight, and although it has taken some
getting used to, I do like it. The one thing at present I can find to
criticise the phone about is it's inability to sound an alarm in the
silent mode. Ok, so its not the end of the world, its just a tad annoying
having to keep your phone on a general profile at night so that you
can hear your alarm go off in the morning!! Other than that its top

prior to ordering the prada phone on contract and listened to the majority
but I wish i had not! If you just like a phone to look at, which you
need to charge every night then this phone is for you! If you actually
want to use this as a functioning mobile phone instead of a fashion

Why do people come on to these review sites to slam devices that they
have given about 5 minutes of their less than expansive brain power
to. Don't you get sick of reading reviews about people who say "I've
had mine for a day and its going back tomorrow" You gotta give the Prada
a chance, I have only just ordered mine and it arrives on Thurs but
I can say that I am in love with this phone already. I have a Samsung
E900 presently and find that the touch buttons on the front of that
a nightmare. Numerous times you try to skip an MP3 and you accidentally
brush the end/cancel button and it stops playing. In all the reviews
people are always referring to the buttons on the screen of the Prada
being too small.....Can I just ask, have you actually seen this phone
in the flesh? The buttons are by no means small and me being well over
6ft my fingers are not on the small size and when I tried it in-store
before ordering direct with orange (was a better deal) and I had no
problems with the buttons and found them to be larger than the keypad
buttons on the E900! No this phone is not a smartphone and it was never
suggested that it would be, so why do people rant that it doesn't have
all the features? If you want a smartphone buy a smartphone! Also there
has never been and never will be a phone that is absolutely perfect
in everyway. Technology doesn't work like that, come to think of it
the world doesn't work that way either. You have got to expect that
there are some things the LG can't do as well as other manufacturers
and thats just life. However you have to admit that when it comes to
style the koreans have the field there. I would suggest that people
visit youtube and have a look at some of the video reviews before posting
biased and misinformed comments. Personally I cant wait to get mine
delivered and will happily dispose of the E900 in the most unceremonial
way possible. LG all the way!

We debated whether to publish this "review", as it tells us
nothing about the Prada phone. But there have been many comments on
the similarity between the Prada phone and the Apple
iPhone and this is a good opportunity to discuss this. First of
all, we couldn't give a damn which came first - that is of no relevance.
Secondly, the Prada phone is on the shelves now, whereas the iPhone
is "planned" for launch in summer 2007 - let's see. Thirdly,
although they may look superficially similar (they both have touchscreens)
they are completely different types of phone. The Prada is a high fashion
phone that looks amazing. The iPhone is a high-tech phone/PDA designed
for techies. We're frankly worried about the iPhone: look at the problems
Nokia have had with their Nseries smartphones.
The iPhone incorporates every conceivable gadget that you could think
of putting in a phone, uses the "most sophisticated operating system
in the world" (i.e. completely untested in mobile phones) and is
the first phone that Apple have ever made. Duh. We look forward to reviewing
the iPhone, but we seriously doubt whether it will deliver the goods.
Ahem, just wanted to get that off our chests ...

IF only LG made what was inside their phones ANYTHING LIKE what they
look like on the outside then buying this device MIGHT actually be slightly
better than using 2 Paper cups and a length of string for communication
thats efficient(eg doesn't fail to drop a call only every once in a
while),not a constant pain(eg cheap battery and ridiculously tiny battery
life for a modern 2G phone especially due to massive power draw from
such a step up in size of screen( it was obvious it would happen but
for the monkeys LG must clearly employ to make the functional part of
their phones it wasn't...DUH!!!) BUT as the main review says its for
those people who are shallow and so value themselves with shallow things
because of shallow thinking [Editor's comment: Hmm ... that's not exactly
what we said, Mr REAL MOBILE!]. LG could release a brick and call it
a Prada mobile(and from the looks of things that may not be far from
the objective truth ;-D ) and these people would still buy the thing,
fawn over it and rate it the best MOBILE phone ever made (despite it
strangely having attributes more in common with an inert object rather

Are you trying to sync numbers to your pc?! You have to use the LG software
for that thats in the box, as i said you change between the mass storage
and the phone itself (in terms of numbers)by going in to settings connectivity
usb connection and changing it to data service, make sure you press
ok as if you select and just press back it doesnt work. Then once this
has been selected its a simple case of loading the software, plugging
the phone into the USB pressing the circular button at the top of the
screen within the software and all your numbers should come up on the
right handside then you can save them. Once you've done this i think
you can import them into outlook, my only criticism of the software
is when you edit numbers within the phone on screen you cannot do multiple
numbers at once, its a bit off a faff, but its great as a backup. People
who have has problems transfering music, the standard setting in itunes
is m4a format which wont play, you will have to convert the music to
mp3 (its probably easier to re rip the cds) but if you are using windows
media player or itunes you will have to change the settings in the programme
so that when ripping the music is ripped into mp3 format not wma (windows
media player) or m4a (itunes) as neither formats are supported. Also
its probably easier to transfer music with the micro sd in a card readers
as the transfer rate is much much faster, and that way you are able
to have the phone turned on so it can receive calls and texts when your
transfering music as it takes some time. I've had my Prada a month now,
im really used to the texting its a dream so dont be put off by people
who havent given the phone a chance, the battery life is fine, infact
i've been on the phone for over the talktime amount on a few occassions
and the battery is still half full, just dont leave the bluetooth on,
also the battery life of mine has got better now its been charged 6
or 7 times. Furthermore the 2GB micro sd altho seemingly slow at first
(when used as storage for the mp3 player) when compared to the speed
of my friends zune and another friends i-pod it ws strikingly faster.
As you can tell i still love my phone, i use it as a calender too its
a bit handy as a reminder and things. Hope this helps any more questions
keep posting them on here!!! Will :)

I must say if you're looking for a phone thats going to keep your dairy,
appointments and all other major occasions and activities in your life
in check then this isn't it. I've had my Prada for a fortnight now and
I haven't had any reason to complain. It's only crashed on me once and
that was last night ( it still wasn't anything major either it just
wouldn't clear the sms front screen on the main display so I had to
remove the battery ot re-boot ) apart from that it's been fine. I went
from a SE W810i to this phone and believe me it took me nearly 6 weeks
to finally decide what phone to choose ( I had looked at the SE 880i
, N95 etc etc). At the end of the day a phone is only a piece of electrical
equipment, they all go wrong from time to time and in about 9-10 months
I'll be changing it for something else. I'll be brutally honest with
you, I went for the Prada simply because I'd never had a touch screen
phone before and I'd thought I'd give it a go simply to try something
different. Like I've already said, if you're after a 'All singing ,All
dancing, Wipes your ass, Cooks your tea type of phone then go for the
N95. If, lke me you fancy giving something different a go for a while
then go for the Prada...............

I like Prada very much, but not when partnered with LG! The LG chocolate,
the cutest & worst phone ever! People! I agree with all the comments
with rating less than 3/2 stars: alarm, text input, even when deleting
msgs, double/triple pressing to reactivate the idle mood & often ended
the call by mistake, slow bluetooth transfer, & lack of several features
common in SE & Nokia, the quality of the mic from the ipod lookalike
headset is far from SE's, had to hold & turn the side of the mic with
hands = definitely not a handsfree phone combined with the lack of speaker,
the reception is not as strong as SE! Don't even need to read the 5
stars! chocolate or LG Prada may be good for image but what do we need
a mobile phone for? Making calls conveniently, chatting with ease, texting
smoothly, to wake me up until I do(oh did i mention there's no snooze
function), listen to music with the fuss, clear snap shots! Well, LG
apparently doesn't fulfil any of these? I do wish Prada should have
teamed up with SE, Samsung or Nokia then it'd become the best mobile
ever!! With LG, this is not the case... at all!

I just tried again. You definitely need to press the power key twice
to end a call once the screen goes black to save power during a call.
Once to light the screen back up and a second time to end a call. I've
checked all the settings for relevant options to circumvent this but
to no avail. Anyone else had this issue? As far as pressing the # key
6 times to bring back lower case letters, when you text as much as I
do while being on the go, pressing a key 6 times on a touchscreen to
get back where I was is infuriating. You can only do it so fast otherwise
the screen doesn't register the press! I'm sure it's fine for others
but unfortunately not for me. :-) To help Oli out, you don't have to
keep pressing back to go back to a word up the screen. You can press
the up arrow (bring this up by pressing the centre of the white text
area)as long as there's no word highlighted. If you want to un-highlight
a word, you have to press space then delete to bring the cursor back.
Annoying. Also to disagree with Nokia Tester, the SE W810i took better
pictures. Just try taking a picture in the dark even with the Prada's
light on. It won't come out. I just received a Nokia N73 Black edition
from Orange. The perfect phone. Easy to text and brilliant camera. Haven't
had any crashes, errors or bugs of any kind. Looks like Nokia finally
got the firmware sorted! Shame they couldn't get it right first time
round otherwise so many people wouldn't have been put of such a good

Phone is VERY good. But there are a few issues. Texting is a casual
affair opposed to the rapid t9 input of a sony ericsson! You can change
words on the prada by pressing in the centre of the text. this changes
the arrow diection, and when it shows up and down, you press those to
change words. For me its the fact i have big fingers! So often press
9 instead of 6. The camera is not very high quality. This is a big come
down from the CCD 3.2mp of my K800i to the CMOS 2mp. And you can't zoom
unless you switch the camera quality down. You cannot change the text
message tone to anything other than 4 presets. Which is a shame, as
i had a custom one on my K800i! My phone does not sync with XP MCE!
I can view it as mass storage, but data connection does not work! So
i cant edit my contacts on my computer! The phone has mysteriously switched
itself off twice now. I go back to it and its dead.. Very odd. I'll
keep an eye on it, not sure i've heard of anyone else having this problem.
Battery!!! The life remaining goes all over the place! Definately switch
on power saving to save a lot of juice. Remember, its a big screen to
power, and they only used a lithium ion, not lithium polymer! You cant
register the KE850 on lg's website, but you can on the wap site! although,
there's nothing to download for it yet! I was hoping for more theme's.
Other than this, the phone is very good. Great to show off, (when its
not in power saving, which lowers the brightness!). Pics look good,
tho linking pictures to contacts produces mixed results! Video playback
seems ok, and you can switch to full widescreen. Texting is slow, but
doing everything else on this phone feels easy as you just point at
what you want. At the end of the day, if you want a really feature filled
phone get an SE K810i. (The N95 has soooo many software bugs!). But
if you're happy to choose style over substance, (ie missing out on RSS,
3G, vodafone portal, decent camera, decent battery, fast text) then
you will love the prada!

looks like the sexiest phone one earth and it is... but i've had it
3 days and am gonna return it. the texting is impossible- as said by
'prada don dada' below you can change from abc to t9 mode and to capitals
and stuff on this 1 'button' WAY too easily. its really annoying pressing
it 6 times to get back to the normal mode. If you text alot- which i
do... do not get this phone!!! i was wooed by its looks, but underneath
it is a vicious black demon from text hell. Also, alarm does not sound
in silent mode (retarded). it does have a loud speaker and radio which
is kl. The flash is a joke. a bad joke. I can basically text without
looking on my old phone (d900), but this requires all your attention.
you will find you often have to edit words. also, you cannot go up on
the text screen... you have to press back a million times!!!! its hard
to text in the sun as the numbers are not visible. being not solid,
they don't reflect light to your eyes. The ringtone gets steadily louder
and only reaches the max volume (on max setting) after about 6 rings
from the phone you're calling from (i tested it). this means that you
wont hear your ringtone until the person calling has given up- this
is unforgiveable. You know all the plus points- if i never texted or
used the alarm, i would put up with it as a fashion phone but its the
litte things that count for me. Sorry to say it- touchscreen technology
is a gimmick and cannot possibly last. Its even put me off the iPhone-
something i never thought i would say.

Received my phone a few days ago and WHOA did it look cool, however
in this day and age looks can be deceiving fortunately the phone opperates
like a dream. The camera is cool, the full screen viewfinder is awesome
(looks like one of the new sony breed of slim digi cams. It takes pictures
MUCH more easilly than my k750i ever did one click and it focuses and
everything for you (you don't have to hold the key down)! Texting is
a great, when i first got the phone i was like oh dear im going to have
to live with this impossible method of texting however after a couple
of hours it became REALLY easy to text (quite a few people have said
the phone isn't for those with fat fingers)but the keys that come up
on the screen are 3 times the size of those on my k750i also the phone
doesn't have a joystick that will break!! BIG positive, more good news
the T9 is great you change a word in T9 by bringing up the up/down arrows
by touching the white text screen in the centre and using them to cycle
through words (people have said the phone is rubbish because of this,
they are wrong as it works perfectly). Another criticism people have
had was the phone running slowly when they put mp3 tracks on the micro
sd, i'd already bough a 2gb one off ebay but tried completely ramming
my 256mb one with songs and yes the phone does slow down (not that noticeably)so
using a larger sd card with about 125mb free for the phone to randomly
access sorts out this situation. The mp3 player does have to load (5
secs) when there is a large amount of songs however this isn't surprising.
Otherwise the phone is fantastic. Yes its a bit of a fingerprint magnet
but not that bad (its no worse than the razor v3 and if you put it in
the case its not as bad). I've bought a screen protector sticker off
ebay which is great (the screen doesn't smudge at all anymore & why
moan when its well documented you get a cleaning cloth its a shiney
plastic its bound to pick up the prints. The games are cool too and
altho the battery life is probs about 4days standby i've been hammering
it all day making calls my friends were playing on the games and ive
used the mp3 player for about 2hrs solid and its still on half (just
dont leave the bluetooth on)its far better than the N95 which my mates
got his was flat after using it as an mp3 player for an hour!!!!!! Overall
the phones great infact incredible, its got cool features LOADS of functions
in terms of the camera and mp3 player (which looks majorly cool) its
easy to text from and is a real head turner! And i think i've successfully
turned over all the bad complaints on here about it as most of these
people are wrong in some of the things they have said about the phone
in terms of tech and specification. ooo finally it has loud speaker
which most websites say it doesnt have. Hope This Helps!!!!! Will :)

I've had this phone nearly two weeks now and have used it extensively.
Got it on Orange Dolphin 35 for the unlimited texts as I text ALOT!
Phone looks fabulous no doubt. Great display and touchscreen interface
works well. Has an intuitive menu layout and a good set of basic features
such as calender, calculator and converter, although camera is total
rubbish. Takes passable photos in daylight but in the dark nothing comes
out, even using the "flash" light! Ending calls is a nuisance as the
screen power saver means that the screen goes dark during a call meaning
you have to press a button to activate the screen and then press the
end button to end your call. Now to the texting. Although I've learnt
to text fast with my index finger using the T9, the system has some
faults. It's all too easy to switch the letters to capitals mid-text,
which you then have to rectify by pressing the # key 6 times to get
back to lower-case letters! To answer a previous poster, you change
a word in T9 by bringing up the up/down arrows by touching the white
text screen in the centre and using them to cycle through words. Sending
the text involves pressing the send key 3 times unlike on a Nokia where
you can just press the green call key to send it straight away. Also
if the phone is in silent mode, as mine is while I'm sleeping, the alarm
doesn't make a sound! Totally pointless! Overall, a phone to make and
receive calls on and look good while doing it. I'm swapping my Prada
phone for a Nokia N73, which is the best phone out at the moment and
I've used most of them!

I received this phone yesterday after a very long wait! It looks great,
and everyone in my office has been oohing and aaahing over it. There
are just a few things that are bothering me: If the phone is in silent
or vibrate mode the alarm clock only vibrates or remains silent, which
sort of defeats the purpose of an alarm clock! I long ago realised that
switching my phone to silent or vibrate at night was the only way to
guarantee a full night's sleep with no interuptions, but how am I meant
to wake myself in the morning? (And don't say buy a separate alarm clock,
what's the point when I should have a decent alarm clock in my phone
ha ha). Secondly, once again on the alarm clock, my old phone had a
feature that saved a minute amount of battery power so that if the phone
ran out of battery and switched itself off the alarm could still work
(you could switch this feature on and off). Now that was handy! And
lastly, there's no WiFi. I knew this when I bought the phone, but I
convinced myself it was better to have a fancy new phone now than to
wait six months for the iPhone to come out...I'm wondering if I made
the right decision... There are a few other small features that aren't
advanced as I'd hoped they might be to keep the Prada in line with my
old standard phone that's over 2 years old. But as I said, it looks
so gorgeous that I'm just going to have to get over it!! :-)

I have had this phone for a week now, and I just found it's major flaw....
there is no way of pressing numbers on the touchpad while yo are in
a call, so it's useless to call places like British Gas or anywhere
else where call routing is in place...that includes my voicemail service....
Otherwise a great phone. Good camera, amazing video,and I have small
fingers, so I am fine with texting

I've had the Prada for a few days now and am really impressed by its
functionality. Admittedly, the texting takes a while to get used to
but otherwise the user interface is intuitive and a pleasure to use.
The quality of the camera is excellent and the sound from the radio
and MP3 player are more than acceptable. The only downside to this seems
to be a relatively short battery life (although I suspect this is due
to my girlfriend playing with the thing every time I put it down!).
All round, an excellent design with all the functions you need.

I got this phone a few days ago on Vodafone. It costs me £50 with insurance.
I get 3000 texts and 500 minutes. I have to say, when I first got it
I was impressed with the touch screen. However, after having it for
8 days, I have lost all interest in it. It lacks features that phones
like Sony Ericsson offer. The camera is fair, nothing to set it apart
from others, though. Also, the practicality of using this phone is not
very good. For instance, it is very hard to see the screen in daylight.
The texting side is also hard as the phone can be very unresponsive.
If you have fat fingers, do not buy this phone!! It might have been
better had they included a stylud or something similar. So all in all,
it is a very stylish phone, ideal for those who like a good image. However,
not so good to actually use. My suggestion - buy a phone with buttons.

This is the best phone that Ihave ever had (and I've had a few). I will
point out one things that may be an issue to some though. The texting
can be a little frustrating but nothing I can't live with. It's not
a smart phone, it's phone with all the features you would want. Some
of the little touches are fantastic, such as the clock on the screensaver
that follows your finger when you move it, the calculator which is top
notch. The camera is superb and the mP3 player and the radio is as good
as any other phone. If you want your mates to want your phone then get
this phone.
