LG launches Prada II teaser site, matching Bluetooth watch

Not that it wasn't official already or anything, but nothing demonstrates dedication to a product like an exclusive home on the web. Yep, LG has just launched a standalone microsite for the altogether sexy Prada II, and while you already know about the specs -- HSDPA, WiFi, 5-megapixel camera, 3-inch 400 x 240 pixel capacitive multi-touch display and quad-band GSM connectivity -- you probably weren't aware of the matching Prada Link Bluetooth watch. As you'd expect, the timepiece syncs with your Prada II and shows your incoming calls / texts, and we'll go out on a limb and presume that it tells time, too. Sadly, the tidbits we're most interested in (a release date and pricing) aren't clearly available on the site, but we'll be refreshing like madmen hoping for that to change.

I wonder if they'll do a Windows Mobile version like that did with the original Prada (don't remember what they called the WM version). I'm just not a big fan of feature phones which I why I'm wondering.

[Coolishkoolkid @ Nov 18th 2008 7:18PM]

does this phone work on american networks?

[Upp @ Nov 18th 2008 6:20PM]

This is no iPhone knockoff! I think the Prada Watch is a cool addition.

[Dopefish @ Nov 18th 2008 6:31PM]

F*CK off advertising your site dickweed.

[loocas @ Nov 18th 2008 6:20PM]

I thought iPhone was for fun?

[loocas @ Nov 18th 2008 6:21PM]

Wow, even replies work as advertised here...


That above was meant for Ocean "clak" 20th.

Btw: Now that I actually looked at his name I regret even reading on...

[Dopefish @ Nov 18th 2008 6:30PM]

You realize you *cant* reply to him. Must have been blocked by engadget.....

[High Ranks make you sterile @ Nov 18th 2008 6:20PM]

So any phone with multi-touch is a iPhone knockoff? Interesting.

Just kidding -- tedious.

[High Ranks make you sterile @ Nov 18th 2008 6:21PM]

Hmm... apparently Clak's comment is un-reply-able

(oh yeah, be jealous of that double hyphenation)

[loocas @ Nov 18th 2008 6:22PM]

Yeah! Same happened here!

He's THE ONE! err... TEH FIRST!

[deyanimay @ Nov 18th 2008 7:12PM]

If everyone low ranks him do you think his post will eventually fade out completely and disappear?

[bandigolo @ Nov 18th 2008 8:05PM]

hopefully if everyone low ranks him, he will just fade out and completely disappear.

[josh @ Nov 18th 2008 6:22PM]

This is smexy.

[Dan @ Nov 18th 2008 6:48PM]

Who are you? The Devil?

[bandigolo @ Nov 18th 2008 8:05PM]

har har.

[Mark Anderson @ Nov 18th 2008 6:26PM]

You're right. And since the iPhone knocked off the original Prada no-one should have bought it either!

Douchebag.

[Mark Anderson @ Nov 18th 2008 6:26PM]

Fuck. That was to iEye.

[Mark Anderson @ Nov 18th 2008 6:27PM]

Or even clak/ocean/whoever.

Ah fuck it. Time for bed.

[Dopefish @ Nov 18th 2008 6:32PM]

see above.

[Metkis @ Nov 18th 2008 6:41PM]

Seriously, Android would pull them so much more attention and sales...

[High Ranks make you sterile @ Nov 18th 2008 6:47PM]

Android and Prada?

Lady and the Tramp 2?

They already made a LATT2?

Disney you whore

[bill cant fart @ Nov 18th 2008 6:53PM]

I would feel rather fruity wearing this...

[deyanimay @ Nov 18th 2008 7:00PM]

SE has a similar watch series.

[Jean-Michel Decombe @ Nov 18th 2008 7:01PM]

Oh, my! It's the new PraD.O.A. phone!

[jimbojones @ Nov 18th 2008 7:57PM]

If it is ripping off anything it is the SE Xperia.
The touch screen better work better than the 1st gen- it was completely hopeless in my experience. And slow. And smudgy. And plasticy. With a poorly thought out OS.

So lets hope for a few improvements then...

[zultan @ Nov 18th 2008 8:16PM]

"The new Prada mobile will be available with a starting price of 600 Euros though major mobile dealerships in Italy, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Netherlands in the 4Q of 2008."

from http://www.lge.com/about/press_release/detail/20940.jhtml# which was actually linked in another post on engadget referenced in this post

[digitallysick @ Nov 18th 2008 8:27PM]

You know, i like the blue tooth watch idea. You could keep your phone on slient, great for work, meetings, movies etc and still not look like a tool when someone calls

[Brak @ Nov 18th 2008 8:34PM]

This is the most disorganized commenting i've seen yet hahaha


oh and btw... this was also to Ocean "clak"!


j/k

[Kate @ Nov 18th 2008 8:37PM]

Why is it making Bluetooth watch? Does it want to break Bluetooth's spirit?

[Kate @ Nov 18th 2008 8:38PM]

Weird, I read the title twice and thought it said "making" instead of "matching" both times. Must've been the Internet gremlins.

[Mikey @ Nov 18th 2008 8:45PM]

1980 just called, they want their watch back.

[Mikes cool @ Nov 18th 2008 8:53PM]

Oh, 1980 just called back they want their joke back.

[loof @ Nov 18th 2008 9:16PM]

That's kind of hot. To bad I doubt it'll never make it to Verizon without being neutered.

[Jonny @ Nov 18th 2008 10:10PM]

Can you yell into the watch Big O activate and a big ass robot come out of the ocean?

If not, I'll pass. :3

Oh, and Clak really needs to stop having sex with his Steve Jobs blowup doll.

[RY4N @ Nov 18th 2008 10:17PM]

Will it be an unlocked phone? I think that I'll cry if I can't own it. I was holding out for the G1 to come to Canada but I've fallen in love with this gorgeous phone

[projekt84 @ Nov 18th 2008 11:02PM]

In other news, Apple to unveil bluetooth watch at next keynote.

[TIMMAH! @ Nov 19th 2008 12:30AM]

Wow, return of the Texas Instruments LED watch...

[JOCOMAN @ Nov 19th 2008 4:37AM]

If I'm not mistaken wasn't the first Prada out before the iPhone. My wife loves her Prada 1 and wants this new one. I think its not a bad phone, not my cup of tea but woman seem to love it. Improvements I hope they make, faster processor witch should fix the sluggish screen response, better browser,wifi, more ram.

[iHoppipolla @ Nov 19th 2008 7:51AM]

I don't know whether to smirk or Awww...

[Purple Haze @ Nov 19th 2008 10:52AM]

I was under the impression the Prada was out almost half a year before the iPhone...

[Purple Haze @ Nov 19th 2008 10:53AM]

Sigh, this was supposed to be aimed at clak, at the top. :-/

[iHoppipolla @ Nov 19th 2008 11:52AM]

I don't know whether to smirk or Awww...

[Unique Gift Ideas @ Nov 19th 2008 12:43PM]

Yeah, because the people who jock Prada clothes are really going to want to buy that ugly ass watch. I get it now...

[Rupesh @ Dec 4th 2008 5:07PM]

I think People behind this phone are not very intelligent, because they did not include GPS, FM features in this . With the price tag of 600Euros, Intelligent people will not buy this phone. What a failure of design
