 "LG Announces Prada II Handset")
8MP camera phones aside, LG has also announced another partnership with Prada to launch a new version only with a slide out full QWERTY keypad. With handsets like SE’s Xperia and HTC’s G1 Android all set to launch, LG is making sure they’re not too far behind.
It’s almost identical to the successful original except for the ultra-thin keyboard that slides out from under the handset. The silver keyboard along with the additional on-screen call and hang-up buttons gives fresh tactility to the original minimal concept.
Other 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 new Prada mobile will be available at a starting price of Rs. 38, 975 (600 Euros) through major mobile dealerships in Italy, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Netherlands in Q4 of 2008.
