Pros:
Sleek design. Cool menus and interface ooze style. Very good call quality, solid feature set. Autofocus camera takes nice, usable pictures. |
 |
Cons:
Lacks 3G, GPS and other advanced phone features. Onscreen keypad is a good compromise, not a great solution. Poor sync options for calendar, contacts and media transfer. |

| Conclusion: |
|
| The LG Prada phone is pretty, stylish and unique. It's lighter and smaller than the iPhone, and though its interface lacks some of the flourish and dazzle of Apple's OS, LG manages to hold their own with stylish menus and slick, modern icons. It isn't a perfect phone, and perhaps doesn't attempt to be, as it lacks many advanced media playback features and an onscreen, QWERTY keyboard. This, plus a lack of good software, keeps the phone from being a better smartphone, media player or even laptop replacement. Still, it makes good calls, and for folks who don't mind paying extra for a lot of style, and the Prada brand, that may be all that matters. |
