Looks good! I might consider buying that version of the Prada. I really want to get a touchscreen phone.
for some reason i have this one's going to be BiGgeR...
My ex would LOVE this >.
but not you, apparently
Oh. Snap.
more like she's an annoying bitch with expensive tastes, like $14000 shoes >.<
Not worth it.
cold blooded
Good looking phone.
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...
decent, still not an iPhone.
...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.
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.
Still not a (defective) iphone?
I had the Prada and iPhone too, I got much better reception with the Prada!
My prada was a great phone will buy this one for sure!
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?
Doubt it's real... I've never seen a handheld that opens the keyboard on that side.
Just for starters:

The photo may indeed be a fake, but judging it just on which side the keyboard slides from is silly.
What about the kaiser?
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?
How many different ways do you think you can design a large touchscreen phone? Most flat panel TVs look about the same too.
I kind of hope this doesn't come out for verizon,
Cause f*ck! i just got an LG dare yesterday!
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.
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.
Hey,
I've seen this phone personally and yes it is infact the Prada II.
