Category: Review on LG KE850 Prada Mobile Phone

Posted by: 5-Jul-2007

Strengths: Ultra-stylish phone with a touch screen keypad. Good camera, music player and very easy to impress those around you

Weaknesses: Not so easy to use, hefty price tag and no 3G features

There is a distinct hint of the iPhone in the LG KE850 at least when it comes to the user interface. You might even have called it a copycat phone has it not been launched a few years before the now-so-famous iPhone. The KE850 has been designed by none other than the house of Prada and the sleek and stylish look is enough for anyone to drop their standard phone and head out to buy an LG KE850.

The amazing looking phone does not come cheap by any standards and this adds to the allure of the phone. the touch screen display does take a bit getting used to but it manages to function pretty well once you get the hang of it. Other than that, the 2.0 mega pixel camera does not disappoint and neither does the MP3 player. The LG KE850 comes bundled with a document viewer which lets you make the most of the phone while on the move.

So why should you not pick up the LG KE850? The answer might not be so simple really…the phone has everything working in its favor. However, if you are after 3G features, then you likely to be disappointed since the phone does not sport it. Other than that, the touch screen might take a lot of getting used to and this might not suit users who are looking for a simple phone. The price tag hurts but not so much. But if it is style you are after, then the LG KE850 takes not just the cake but the entire bakery!
