Many of you might nor even know that the first handset without a keypad on front, optimized for finger-contol has been LG Prada – of course it’s also true that combo handsets based on Windows Mobile and PalmOS have been available much before this model, but it’s still a fact that the first “normal” phone has been created by LG. And how here’s the successor, and we could say that it’s just a clone, since it’s looks exactly like the original phone, it just has a sliding QWERTY keyboard – and some software tuning.

Prada is an Italian fashion company, named in 1999, after Miuccia Prada, born in 1949 – the lady is otherwise one of the richest persons on the world. Their history goes way back the aforementioned date, as the first shop of the company acquired by the Prada-family in 1979, has opened in 1919 in Milan, and back then they were only into leather clothes. Now, they are one of the largest fashion brands on Earth, their name might not be as well-known in our region, as they have no shops around here – those who fell the need to but something in a Prada store have to go to Italy or Germany, as that’s the closest place where they can find one. The brand might still be familiar, as in 2006 a highly acclaimed “comedy” premiered in the movies with the title The devil wears Prada, with Meryl Streep as the lead actress. The movie is otherwise based on Lauren Weisbereger’s novel from 2003.

So LG Prada II should be a luxury phone, based on its name, but it’s not, I’d rather call it a high-end multimedia device, we might even consider it as a rival of iPhone. Its price is currently about 455 euros, and for this sum one might not get even a coat in the Prada store in Milan, so it’s an interesting fact that such a handset has the name of the company. We’ve received the phone from XXL GSM, the box is rather small, it doesn’t have any diamonds or unique materials, it’s just like the one of any other LG handset’s. The list of accessories isn’t very long either, besides the charger, the headset and the leather case we only get a piece of cloth used for cleaning the screen. We will probably need this, as no matter being a second generation model, the new Prada is also a fingerprint-magnet. And also a collector of scratches.
