Is this LG's QWERTY-packin' Prada II?

Remember those rumored specifications for LG's so-called Prada II? Yeah, particularly the part about the slide-out keyboard? If the image above has any traces of legitimacy, you could be looking at the Prada II. Good thing an image is worth quite a few letters, 'cause that's all the details we've got to go on for now.

Looks good! I might consider buying that version of the Prada. I really want to get a touchscreen phone.

[Boarderwoot @ Aug 20th 2008 4:08PM]

for some reason i have this one's going to be BiGgeR...

My ex would LOVE this >.

[phanbouy @ Aug 20th 2008 4:16PM]

but not you, apparently

[Richard @ Aug 20th 2008 4:28PM]

Oh. Snap.

[Phoenix @ Aug 20th 2008 4:39PM]

more like she's an annoying bitch with expensive tastes, like $14000 shoes >.<
Not worth it.

cold blooded

[kavendano14 @ Aug 20th 2008 4:13PM]

Good looking phone.

[Andrew T. @ Aug 20th 2008 4:29PM]

My cousin had the first Prada and although it looked nice, I found that the touchscreen wasn't really responsive and it was really difficult to navigate. If LG tweaks the touchscreen to become more responsive, the added QWERTY keyboard should make the phone even better and might be something worth getting.

Fake pic...

[Mike Bertolino @ Aug 20th 2008 4:43PM]

decent, still not an iPhone.

[Malikye @ Aug 20th 2008 4:53PM]

...nope. the one thing that makes this better than an iPhone as far as i can tell right now, is the qwerty keyboard. hard to say about the features right now.

[Raheem @ Aug 20th 2008 4:59PM]

There's two sides to that story now. The iPhone isn't turning out to be what it was hyped to be, but having both the Prada and the iPhone, I know which benefits me more. The Prada is really just about the look, it's not anything but a good looking phone, whereas the apps on the iPhone are like iCrack.

Still... each to his own.

[zephxiii @ Aug 21st 2008 6:36AM]

Still not a (defective) iphone?

[Cybergypsy @ Aug 20th 2008 5:30PM]

I had the Prada and iPhone too, I got much better reception with the Prada!

[Cybergypsy @ Aug 20th 2008 5:26PM]

My prada was a great phone will buy this one for sure!

[Adam @ Aug 20th 2008 5:33PM]

Personally I thought the Prada was a horrible piece of kit, it somehow managed to be too simple yet rediculously confusing at the same time and the touchscreen was extremely 'meh'. Am I missing a reason why people thought the first one was missing a qwerty keyboard or are they intending to make this a proper t'internet phone?

[Jeremy K. @ Aug 20th 2008 5:38PM]

Doubt it's real... I've never seen a handheld that opens the keyboard on that side.

[Michael Chastain @ Aug 20th 2008 6:55PM]

Just for starters:

The photo may indeed be a fake, but judging it just on which side the keyboard slides from is silly.

[Phoenix @ Aug 21st 2008 12:04PM]

What about the kaiser?

[tuna @ Aug 20th 2008 6:21PM]

Has anyone elsed noticed the striking similarities between LG and Samsung products? This phone looks a lot like the Samsung Omnia or the new Samsung 5mp dumbphone that is suppose to be coming to T-mobile. Are the two companies really the same?

[Michael Chastain @ Aug 20th 2008 6:59PM]

How many different ways do you think you can design a large touchscreen phone? Most flat panel TVs look about the same too.

[jorge @ Aug 20th 2008 7:09PM]

I kind of hope this doesn't come out for verizon,

Cause f*ck! i just got an LG dare yesterday!

[siostra-rana @ Aug 25th 2008 11:30AM]

God that sucks :( It happens to me all the time too, especially when buying computers...and when I got my Chocolate 2. As soon as I got it, Verizon released the Voyager.

but, YES! My prayers have been answered from above!! I hope it comes out before my Verizon Contract expires. Which I doubt...since the Dare just came out, and my contract expires in March.

[rudy @ Aug 20th 2008 8:25PM]

This phone looks really nice if true, wonder what os it’ll run. If it runs android I’d rather get this than the htc dream.

[Reliable Source @ Aug 20th 2008 10:00PM]

Hey,

I've seen this phone personally and yes it is infact the Prada II.
