LG and PRADA will release their second handset before
the end of the year. The new LG Prada phone has an ultra-thin keyboard that slides from under the handset.
The unique QWERTY keyboard available only with
the new telephone is designed for maximum ease of use. The metallic
feel makes it a pleasure to touch and type, complimenting the slick
design aesthetic. The silver keyboard along with the additional
on-screen, call and hang-up buttons gives fresh tactility to the
original minimal concept.
Other enhanced features include 3G
compatibility with video calling, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, full HTML browser, the
5 mega pixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens, and Wi-Fi
accessibility.
The news release states, "The second Prada handset by LG is not just for
pleasure, this is a luxury design accessory that can also compete on
every level with the most technological hand held devices."
The
new Prada mobile will be available with a starting price of 600 Euros
though major mobile dealerships in Italy, UK, France, Germany, Spain
and Netherlands in the 4Q of 2008.
