Description
Offering
a
sophisticated
design
developed
with
Italian
luxury
fashion
house
Prada
that's
mixed
with
a
cutting
edge
user
interface
technology
from
LG,
the
tri-band
PRADA
Phone
by
LG
(KE850)
brings
much
more
to
the
party
than
just
stunning
good
looks.
Its
minimalist,
black-tie
industrial
design
has
been
complemented
by
a
3-inch
touch
screen
that
enables
you
to
control
virtually
all
the
phone's
functions
with
just
your
finger--no
stylus
needed.
It's
also
loaded
with
bounty
of
features
you
expect
from
a
top-of-the-line
mobile
phone:
2-megapixel
camera
with
Schneider-Kreuznach
optics,
Bluetooth
connectivity
for
stereo
headphones,
multi-format
digital
audio
player,
FM
radio,
MicroSD
expansion,
and
PIM
organizer
applications
to
keep
you
on
schedule.
Sleekly
designed
with
a
gorgeous
black-and-silver
fashion/industrial
look,
the
PRADA
phone
measures
just
0.5-inches
thin.

This
unlocked
cell
phone
can
be
used
with
a
GSM
network
service
provider
and
it
provides
tri-band
voice
connectivity
(GSM/GPRS
900
MHz,
1800
MHz,
1900
MHz),
enabling
you
to
travel
the
globe
and
stay
in
contact.
It
also
can
handle
high-speed
data
connectivity
via
EDGE
data
networks,
which
is
fast
enough
to
support
a
wide
range
of
advanced
data
services
(with
average
data
speeds
between
75-135Kbps),
including
video
and
music
clips,
full
picture
and
video
messaging,
high-speed
color
Internet
access,
and
email
on
the
go.
It
does
not
come
with
a
SIM
card,
and
it
requires
that
you
provide
a
SIM
card
for
usage
with
your
selected
service
provider.
Amazingly
small
with
a
body
that
measures
3.9
x
2.1
x
0.5
inches,
the
PRADA
Phone
weighs
just
3
ounces
(50
percent
less
than
the
Apple
iPhone).
The
candybar
has
an
understated,
Avante-Garde
design
that
resembles
a
highly
styled
high-definition
television.
It
features
a
piano-black
casing
on
the
back
and
on
the
front
surrounding
the
screen,
and
its
features
are
softened
by
gently
rounded
corners.
The
sides
are
accented
by
a
polished
silver
metal.
You'll
interact
with
the
PRADA
Phone
primarily
with
your
finger
on
the
3-inch
(diagonal)
touchscreen,
which
has
a
resolution
of
240
x
400
pixels
and
a
display
capability
of
256K
colors.
The
Flash-based
user
interface
displays
glowing
icons
that
disappear
when
not
in
use
to
reveal
a
stark
black
Prada
theme.
However,
the
UI
can
be
changed
to
one
of
three
pre-loaded
themes--the
Butterfly
and
Fish
themes
actually
place
a
small
creature
on
the
standby
screen
that
can
follow
your
finger
around.
The
standby
screen
is
also
home
to
the
clock,
which
is
operated
with
finger
taps
and
can
be
dragged
around
the
screen.
The
PRADA
Phone
offers
a
virtual
numeric
keypad,
instead
of
a
virtual
QWERTY
keyboard,
for
dialing
of
numbers
and
writing
text
messages
(with
help
from
the
integrated
T9
predictive
text
entry
technology).
The
main
menu
system
is
arranged
like
tabbed
folder
pages
full
of
icons
and
is
intuitive
and
quick
to
learn.
At
just
3
ounces,
the
PRADA
Phone
is
less
than
half
the
size
of
Apple's
iPhone. |
The
display
can't
be
used
with
a
stylus
because
of
its
capacitive
touchscreen
technology,
which
requires
a
human
touch.
Coated
with
a
material
that
stores
electrical
charges,
this
capacitive
touchscreen
uses
electro-conductivity
to
sense
your
touch
and
then
sends
precise
horizontal
and
vertical
location
information
to
the
processor
about
the
charge
that
gets
drawn
at
the
point
of
contact.
Unlike
Apple's
iPhone,
the
PRADA
Phone
does
have
a
number
of
real
off-screen
buttons
and
controls.
The
call
control
and
back
keys
are
on
the
front
of
the
device,
a
lock
key
and
a
multi-function
camera/music
key
are
on
the
right
edge,
and
the
ring
profiles
key,
volume
control,
and
charger/headset
port
are
located
on
the
left
edge.
The
2-megapixel,
auto-focus
camera
features
a
lens
made
by
Germany's
Schneider-Kreuznach,
which
is
known
for
it's
high
level
of
optics
quality.
It
tops
out
at
a
resolution
of
1600
x
1200
pixels,
but
also
offers
a
range
of
resolution
choices
down
to
320
x
240
pixels.
It
includes
a
self-timer,
three
quality
modes,
four
color
effects,
white
balance
settings,
a
choice
of
shutter
sounds,
and
a
multishot
mode.
You
can
also
shoot
video
clips
with
several
resolution
choices
(including
400
x
240-pixel
widescreen,
matching
the
PRADA
Phone's
screen,
and
the
more
standard
176
x
144
QCIF).
The
Bluetooth
version
2.0
wireless
connectivity
includes
profiles
for
communication
headset,
data
transfer
and
the
A2DP
Bluetooth
advanced
audio
profile,
which
enables
you
to
stream
audio
to
a
pair
of
compatible
Bluetooth
stereo
headphones.
The
integrated
digital
audio
player
offers
support
for
a
variety
of
formats
(MP3,
AAC,
AAC+,
WMA,
RA),
as
does
the
video
player
(MPEG4,
H.263,
H.264).
Your
entertainment
options
are
expanded
even
further
with
a
built-in
FM
radio
(which
is
used
in
tandem
with
the
included
headset
attached,
as
it
serves
as
the
antenna).
While
not
fully
considered
a
smartphone,
the
PRADA
Phone
comes
equipped
with
document
viewers
offering
compatibility
with
today's
most
widely
recognized
file
formats,
including
text
files,
PDFs
and
Microsoft
Office
documents--Word
(.doc),
Excel
(.xls),
and
PowerPoint
(.ppt)
files.
It
also
includes
a
full
range
of
personal
information
management
(PIM)
organizer
applications
(calendar,
to
do
list,
world
clock,
unit
converter,
and
calculator).
With
its
fast
USB
2.0
connection,
the
unit
can
also
be
used
as
a
mass
storage
device.
The
phone
has
an
expansion
slot
for
MicroSD
memory
cards,
which
currently
provide
a
maximum
capacity
of
4
GB
of
storage
(as
