LG KF900 / Prada II Expert Reviews

For the original LG Prada the best way to travel in style was to travel light. But this time around it’s carrying a full QWERTY suitcase packed with goodies. Top of the line functionality and an updated interface...

3-inch 262K-color capacitive touchscreen display of WQVGA resolution ; Comfortable QWERTY keyboard ; 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash ; D1 (720x480) resolution video recording at 30fps ; Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; Dual band 3G with ...

Two-year-old design ; The large waistline doesn't match the fashionable image (but is OK for a QWERTY messenger) ; Plastic build ; No GPS (LG Renoir has it) ; No XviD video support (LG Renoir has it) ; Multi-touch has rather limited use ; No Flash ...

And we've got loads to cover. Are the changed form factor and the QWERTY keyboard likely to backfire, and will performance ever be make or break for the fashion savvy? Rarely has a designer package promised so much action, so let's roll

The price tag has it competing against handsets with far more functionality

Excellent entertainment features in camera, video and editing suites ; superb touch-screen ; smooth user interface

Patchy internet and email experience ; lags in menu loading as memory is used up ; lack of GPS prevents it from being a real 'high-end' device ; Vertict ; The price tag puts the LG KF900 Prada in a bracket where it's competing against handsets with ...

In the very crowded market of cellular phones, it is difficult to find a phone that stands out from the crowd. Keep in mind, the operative word here is difficult and not impossible. This is evidenced by the presence of the excellent LG KF900-Prada, a ...

Without a doubt one of the greatest benefits of this phone is its enormous memory. This is a phone that can store up to 1000 numbers! For people who are in business or are highly in demand, the ability of a phone that can store this volume of numbers ...

There are very few cons to this particular phone. Perhaps some may feel the price is a little outside their range, but this is understandable considering all the "fringe benefits" this phone provides to users ; Perhaps surprisingly, there is no GPS

Again, this is a very tough cell phone to top in terms of its many values. That is why it constantly draws rave reviews and is a solid seller in a very crowded marketplace.

The attractive Prada 2 KF900 is one of the best fashion phones yet. It doesn't have the app ecosystem of the iPhone, but a slide-out Qwerty keypad and responsive touchscreen mean it's ideal for messaging, while Wi-Fi and HSDPA add oomph to the ...

Responsive screen ; slide-out Qwerty keypad

Lack of 3.5mm headphone jack ; no xenon flash

If you're after a fashion phone, the LG Prada 2 KF900 is one of the best so far. Boasting a responsive touchscreen and slide-out Qwerty keypad, we found the Prada 2 ideal for messaging. Keep in mind, though, that it doesn't have the app ecosystem of ...

Can LG steal the show?

Design, keyboard, touchscreen, ease of use

Price (SIM-free), no GPS, leather case, proprietary connector, bulk

The great specification, nice interface and the excellent keyboard are all worthy of note if you can find the Prada II on a contract that suits you

Can Prada and LG appeal to the smartphone market?

LG's tie-up with Prada is in its second outing with the Prada II, also known as the KF900. This handset is very reminiscent of its predecessor, the original Prada phone, but times have changed. The ...

Touchscreen handsets are much more common than they used to be and without GPS on board the Prada II finds itself in the second division rather than the first. The QWERTY keyboard does give it quite a lift, though.

The Prada phone update is proof that LG is well and truly in touch with the fashion phone segment, and the slide-out keyboard is a master stroke.

Simple yet stylish design, Excellent touchscreen experience, One of the best QWERTY keyboards around

Expensive, No substantial internal memory, No 3.5mm headphone socket on the phone

There's definitely a few components missing for what you'll pay for a Prada, but these haven't detracted from our experience. It's much better than the original Prada phone and many of its current competitors as well.

Design, aesthetics, QWERTY keyboard, simple yet effective interface, speed, HSDPA-capable, Wi-Fi

Proprietary headphone/charging jack, no GPS, poor browser, expensive

LG's Prada KF900 is proof that fashion phones don't always have to be all style and no substance. The lack of GPS and a standard headphone jack are downsides, but the QWERTY keyboard is excellent and the interface is a winner.
