The Prada II now has a full keyboard nestled behind the 3" touchscreen, the camera has been upgraded to a 5 megapixel lens, and is also enabled with this season's must have accessories of 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty but pretty annoying, April 2, 2009

By	A. Wu (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

At first glance, the Prada phone looks like a great buy. Slide out keyboard and responsive touch screen. The interface is really pretty and for a user who doesn't customize their phone much, it probably works ok. It's in the details though that has me tearing my hair out and trying to resell it on ebay.

1) As far as I can tell, the contacts don't import automatically from Microsoft Outlook. You have to go through some *.csv conversion which is a pain. **Anyone know differently, please let me know via this forum!**

2) User interface is not stable, it's rebooted on me at least 5x in the past month when I'm doing random simple things like making a phone call.

3) They like their sounds too much and I can't figure out how to turn them off in normal mode! (i.e. sliding the keyboard in/out has a ringtone, which when you're trying to discreetly text, and you don't want your phone in silent mode, at dinner/meeting is impossible!)

4) The battery runs down relatively fast compared to my old Nokia n95, or maybe I'm just in bad reception areas a lot which impact my battery life?

I would assume a lot of these *features* would be fixed via software upgrade but I don't plan to wait around.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gained waistline, lost Sexy-factor, May 13, 2009

By	Timothy Lam "trustedsince1996" (Temple City, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the original LG Prada (KE850) as a birthday gift my wife last year. It was a very fashionable and stylish looking phone, which my wife (in her early 30s) loves, but the reception and the missing 850Mhz band left something to be desired on the AT&T wireless network, which is reasonable as this phone was never intended for the US market. It would probably work better on T-Mobile US network (since they don't use 850 band). We ended up returning it because of that. Mind you, the software on this phone is very simple and basic, which is perfect for my wife since she hardly text and rarely used anything else.

I was excited when the Prada II is announced and it comes with quad-band this time (however, 3G would only work outside of US)! However, I was disappointed as soon as I found out they decided to add a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Seeing in person (at CES) how much thicker the new phone turned me off. It has gained 40% in thickness (16.8mm versus the older but slimmer 12mm Prada I) and slightly taller than the old phone (quarter inch). The "Ooze" factor of the original Prada phone is gone. This new phone would be a good choice for these who texts often but doesn't want another me-too looking phones. However, for my wife, the weight-gain is a deal-breaker.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, May 30, 2009

By	Ryan Lemand - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the LG Prada 1 when it first came out in 2006 and she absolutely loved it. This lead me to buy her the new version of it for her birthday one month ago and she said LG has completely revamped the phone and corrected most of the negative points the first Prada had and she is very happy with it.
