There’s an Armani phone. And now there’s a Prada phone v2.0. The device aims squarely for the fashion conscious diva. 
Notwithstanding that, it’s sure to whet the appetites of techboys as well.
The Prada II is a joint partnership between cellphone giant LG and. The first iteration looked like an afterthought of capabilities. What was LG thinking, slapping on such a sloppy features like mere 2.5G connectivity and 2 megapixel camera on it’s flagship? It’s like buying a Louis Vuitton that doesn’t come with a lock and its signature monogram hide!
But rematch time and LG boasts an impressive Prada successor to counter the arrival of the Iphone 3G. This new Fashionista delight features a slide out QWERTY keyboard allowing for easier input rather then using an on-screen touch based keyboard. Its peeophole integrates 5 mega pixels showing off a a Schneider-Kreuknach lens. Connectivity is the standard Wi-Fi, 3G (up to 7.2Mbps) HSDPA and the Prada also features TV-Out and an FM radio.
Now for the techboys who like lists:
- Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900). WCDMA 900/2100, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA connectivity
- 3″ WQVGA 400×240 px TFT touchscreen
- 5 megapixel camera
- front camera for video calls
- Wi-Fi b/g connectivity
- USB 2.0, Bluetooth
- Full HTML browsing
- FM-Radio
- TV-out
- microSDHC memory card slot (up to 8GB)
- slide-out QWERTY keyboard
The PR people over at LG touts that the Prada II will be even more focused on the overall design/user experience. Even better, Prada designers will be closely involved in making the custom themes, touch UI, built-in ringtones and cellphone accessories for Prada 2 phone.
Hmmm… what’s next…a Rolex Phone?
