LG KE850 Prada - User Reviews

  • you're the biggest troll ever with that nickname and the fact you are verified

  • The iPhone was announced just about a week before this phone was announced. It was released much earlier though.

  • I am trying to find a DATA/Charger Cable can anyone please let me know the type of connector these phones have? Thanks...

  • I always wondered about this phone. My curiosity hit however it did not exactly attract me like the Viewty, Renoir, and Arena did. Am still tempted to this day to try this LG

  • You can't

  • 14 usd + shipping cost.

  • where can i buy the battery of ke850 cellphone unit. her in the philippines

  • how can i download whatsapp on dis phone

  • Prove it buddy, I thought so.

  • research in 2002 simply means that apple was still in early preproduction phase. however, as time went on and the iphone was in its later design stage apple stole the looks of the prada because they liked it so much and tried to convince everyone that it was their idea, as usual. in fact, they didn't even come up with the name "iphone", there was a phone before that that had this name.

  • can i please know how to download whatsapp in this type of phone

  • i have a problem with the fone i cnt switch it on it jus went off

  • iphone research started in 2002

  • can u plz tell me how to have the messenger of this prada? fot the purpose of facebook chatting

  • i will buy this fone! coz it is original iphone!

  • Sure, Apple copied the Prada for 1 month! Oh, and managed to submit an application for FCC approval in October, 2006.

  • it was OFFICIALLY annoucned but people already knew about it by september.

  • I hv an lg prada its refusing to download all the files ar lost mp3,download images, voice records help me out

  • please wiki it. LG prada, announce dec 12 , 2006, release jan 18, 2007. Iphone, announce jan 7, 2007, release june 29, 2007. so you can see who is FIRST !

  • @Michel Apple references the KE850 in their own design patent (D618,677) that covers the iphone (not to mention the samsung F700, which they claim infringes).

  • @michael you can state your "facts" as much as you like but it was announced to the PUBLIC 18 jan , it was given a design award and on display long before that to people in the industry

  • Official the LG Prada was announced on 18 januari 2007, the iPhone on 9 januari 2007. That is a fact..

  • Guys i have the Lg Prada phone but then it froze, it cannot deleting .help.if i switch on bluetooth it can not go off.

  • @Michel You might want to look at the comments beneath that shoddy slashgear article, the LG Prada was given a design award in September 2006. It was in development and publicly viable before the iPhone. Also, its remarkable how much the 4s looks like this phone

  • @Mdn, no Apple did not copie the LG Prada, the Prada was official announced with aan photo on paper on 18 januari 2007. The iPhone was official announced alive and working on 9 januari 2007, and on sale in june 2007. More:

  • my memory card is fully read.only downloaded images can be seen.please help

  • Help Please! I have just purchased this phone and I love it but I have a big problem!! I cannot send text messages from it or phone calls and it won't receive them either can anyone help? Also is it possible to use the .amr sound files as message tones??

  • Download "Mobile Media Converter". Search it up on google. After downloading it, set the profile to "psp mp4" and it will convert your videos for you. You can mess with the settings a bit for optimised viewing. I recommend the 400x240 video size.

  • I was wondering if this phone can use read from a sd card higher than 2gb? Because I have tons of music and I'd very much like to listen to it on the Prada once I get it.

  • The video files supported by the prada need to be in .3gp format. There are quite a few programs that can do this. An easy and free program is called the "Youtube Downloader" which is available from www.download.com. It incorporates a basic file converter. Simply select the original video file then choose to convert to H.263 3GP. This is the format supported. -V

  • Hi, friends there I bought a 2G memory card and I loaded my mp4 vedio files on it. But it can not be played. Is any body here can tell me why? Is it the file type not right? What kind of video files will be supported by this phone. Thanks very much in advance.

  • I have a prada but then i was messin bout wiv m8s then i landed on the touch screen and now the screen has leaked inside do you know how much i would cost in £s as im in england Not america Thank You x.x.x.x.x :)

  • It has T9 but it doesn't recognize some common words. But you can "add" words into it's repertoire by pressing "spell" and typing it out. It'll automatically save the word you added if you use it in a msg. and send it. The downside is that in this "spell" function, it doesn't have a backspace/delete...just a button that will take you back to your message that you're composing.

  • Hello mcm ! Its not SIM icon rather its a memory card icon ... remove the memory card and switch on the phone and see whether u can see that icon. That icon indicates that memory card is there inside the phone.

  • why would u want T9 when you have a full touch screen key board????

  • it is a good fone to use.only a person can use this fone who now how to use fones,the icon that some people are saying which is for sim card is not for sim card its for memory card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WHAT no T9!!!!!!!

  • anyone have its camera. my carmera is dead

  • It can play 3gp, mp4, etc

  • Thank u. My phone is unlocked my phone works with regular messaging and all other areas I'm just not sure how to send a picture message I think I just am not doing something right just got the phone as a gift

  • does any1 no how to send a picture with a message it keep saying no mms settings help pls

  • sorry its gsmforum.com or something like that.

  • you need to flash the phone most likely with a program and dongle box such as vygis. Check at www.gsmforums.com there might be some free solutions.

  • I need to download Chinese language into this device. I use to write text message & email in Chinese. I couldn't find Chinese in the Language menu. Please assist me on how to download this. Thanks George 12- 15 - 2009

  • hi all i've recently bought lg prada and started using it finally(yay) but a sim-card icon appears on-screen display right next to reception icon..there is no information in the manual regarding this so i'm eager to hear your solutions (please help). ps: my phone works...there is no problem with making/receiving calls ans sms

  • I cannot receive picture messages on this phone I purchased it unlocked and my carrier is Cingular. Can someone please help me?

  • set card memory as the message storing default. i think you can do this in settings when you're on the picture menu

  • yes you can except you sometimes get odd sounds on the radio because of the message coming though and can lead to freezing

  • i love this phone everything is great the only part i don't like is that it doesn't have a zoom in feature for the pictures :P other than that it's freaking awesome and the best part is: it's so pretty :)

  • is it possible to text while listening to fm radio? pls help.. thanks

  • so basically i had this phone for a little over a year...the phone is really nice and elegant, not too big not too small a perfect fit and it's really light the picture quality and radio is really nice i love every thing about this phone BUT i tend to lose signal often and froze alot ( well not when i first bought it ) I'm thinking it's because that it's an international phone phone and doesn't work well with the network in the U.S and it's kind of hard to hear the person on the other line , I would keep this phone for a few more years if the signal and hearing is better, other than that it's a great phone

  • @ Unmair Depends on what u want from a phone. I like it momentantly because it has no Operating System and it's more like just a phone (text and call). The touchscreen is very answering and simple to use. FM sound is good. Games and applications good. Organizer have all u need from a phone. Sound on handsfree is really good. It has some disavantages : incoming call sound is poor because it is ascension sound and at beginnig it's poor, the camera is poor 2Mpx, but more like 1.3Mpx and the battery life is too short.

  • is it possible to text while listening to fm radio?

  • can any one tell me that whether i want to buy this phone or not????

  • how to set downloaded tones as msg tone

  • can any body teach me how to configure my phone

  • Hy everybody. I have a question about battery life. How many days take the batterz off? Because mine after one and half day is dead...and i have to mention that i not use it very much. Thanks !

  • First u have to activate the dictionary. Then when u spell a word, u touch the four arrows until u have a up and down arrows. Type the word and if it's not the word u want, u press up or down arrow, until u get it. Bye

  • do anybody know how to check if someone is on call-waiting? i mean when i call some1 and he is busy on another call, i don't get any notification that he/she is busy on another call and is on call-waiting rite now. Any solution????

  • how do u use dictionary

  • how could we directly send data to Card memory.

  • No thts the LG KE900 or something like tht, tht fone has a full qwerty keyboard slides from underneath, this one if a touch screen.

  • It does not have an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard slides our from underneath.

  • How Much Is It In England..And Has It Come Out IN England And If So Where Can I Buy It From?

  • nhhanh2406, I believe it does not have a qwerty keyboard. It only shows the numbers and "abc def ghi" on the screen. Prada 2 has a full qwerty but not this one.

  • Everything is perfect with this phone exept one thing... im passionate for LG mobile phones but there is one thing im worried... The tecnology in the mobile very late updated.tq

  • the mobile is excellent,perfect and has a long battery iam using this from 1 year and it is perfect mobile

  • can anyone tell how to get to the speaker phone part,when u make a call?

  • no u press the profiles button on the left

  • You can see it at the box cover of your phone, its look like a white sticker there's a Tag IMEI.

  • does the phone have an on-screen QWERTY keyboard ?

  • Press Hot key on right side of cell on which mp3/cam pic has been print to dail during call

  • The LG Prda KE850 is okay and in a very practical manner, using a scale of 1 to 10, stars, wherein a ten star means a very favorable rating. Herein is my review: Since I purchased the LG Prada KE850, a few weeks ago and since then an using the device for phone calling only, my rating scale for the Prada is a 4, primarily because of ensuing problems in connecting the Prada to my laptop and gaining a successful USB connection. Finally, contacting LG on net and communicating my problem to them produced from them, a solid blowback declaration that since I did not buy the Prada in the USA, they will have nothing do with it. By the way, I did buy the Prada from a USA seller, however, LG apparatently by their own declaration implied that apparently someone else is producing LG Cell Phone products, since worldwide, they have declared a nonsenseical comment about their production ownership.

  • erm...this phone huh... well... as a professional ... i rate this phone 97%... my opinion is... 1)it should have come with a higher mega pixel camera 2)should have been a 3.2 inch screen.. 3)screen only 256k...not 16 million. 4)it is a full touch screen... 5)Good quality... 6)fingerprint magnet screen! 6)good price... 7)have a sense of style... that's all....

  • hmmm ... hy ... i have a prada phone like this ... i get for it a nokia N70 and 40 Euro at change ... :)) is very good the phone ... but ... ringtone volume start off on full .... don`t like at this phone .... is very nice ... design .... extra good :X i love him ... 95 % maybe ... 99 % :)) touch screen make me crazy :X

  • hey i lost my ke850 just before 2days. i don't know where will i get its IMEI number. plz help me

  • how do we get IMEI number of LG prada kE850

  • never buy this phone complete waste of money

  • i need help i have prada and when i try to receive a song via bluetooth it goes to Phone Memory, but i want it to go automatically to External memory....how to do that please please tell me

  • Good night, i need to dial a number when a call is active

  • I belive you can't because it doesn't support MicroSDHC (4GB and bigger)

  • elegant design but the feature seems like not good when we compare prada's price. too expensive.. i thing...

  • i have prada ke850 good condition....

  • i've this phone and i don't like it.. it's very beautiful phone but it doesn't have good Specifications. I can't use skype and other programms and camera is very bad....

  • i love this phone iv had it for about 5 months now and iv had no problems whatsoever EXCEPT i have one qualm, does anyone know how i can make the ringtone volume start off on full instead of gradually going higher? it is the only thing about this phone that drives me crazy cos i can never get to my phone in time to answer it! apart from that, buy this phone!

  • can you put bigger than 2mg card into phone

  • maybe if you take your memory card out while sending songs or you could aslo format your card

  • good and better then viewty

  • This is not a completely bad handset. But If you're looking for more apps, snazz and an even classier look go with the LG KS20 or the Viewty.

  • lg viewty is better den prada

  • I have just bougt this phone, admittedly coz I loved the way it looks. I also bought a 2g memory card. When Bluetoothing tunes the memory card keeps stating its full, but it has NO TUNES in memory at all. Works fine when I want to take a picture but am stuck as to why it will not Bluetooth music. ANY IDEAS??

  • Not a great phone. I purchased it for the PRADA logo. quite disappointed... If you are thinking about this one, id recommend going for the Samsung F480T instead. Much classier

  • if you are still intending to get this prada1, STOP THINKING ABOUT IT! prada2 has been out in the market for months alr! get that instead! it DOESNOT lag! even thou its a sidekick, it serves great as a touch writing meth as well :DDD hesitate no more :D

  • Just got it yesterday. The interface is something to get used to and texting is somewhat of a chore but i love the phone. The camera is outstanding and the customizing is perfect.

  • Can we in stall softwares on it or not if we can then do we have to download it from mobile or from pc

  • great phone

  • Actually I was applying that My old phone (n70) works better than Prada.

  • when i got this phone its really good, but after 2 weeks it shut off completely, so bought a new batt and still it wont turn on or charge at all....take it to the store where i bought it and they look at it and it said its not fixable......so yah...the final thing to do is to go to LG and send it in....guess what I'm in US so i need to send it back to china cause US don't support the Prada...*sigh its a waste :(

  • Nope. got a Prada, had it since Nov 2008 (i got it as a replacement phone form cpw). EXTREMELY EASILY SCRATCHED!!! GOT SCRATCHED TOTALLY SCRATCHED UP IN 2DAYS!!! U CAN FEEL THEM!!!otherwise it is a good phone. It occasionally turns itself on and off. the otherweek i kept doing this every time i bluetoothed data. Gadgets are desent, but just to let u no, dispite the touch screen(which works very well) IT IS IN NO WAY A 'HIGH TECH' FONE! it takes an age to load up images and is painfully slow at responding when doing this. Iv got a 2gig(max capacity) memory card in it, thats full up, and it takes 15 seconds to display all 198 (1106977KB) music tracks. Wen it comes to playing music it does the job but has NO bass what so ever. On the subject of sound, that tiny 1cm speaker is the only speaker on the phone which meens i regualy miss calls, and the quality of music through the speakers is almost PAINFULL! The fone cannot multitask either. Bluetoothing is soooo slow!

  • Prada is a brand name dude, theres a lot using N70 , theres nothin spec in it.

  • does anyone know if its possible to change the cover?

  • You can definitely turn off the T9...it's a great phone by the way. I have dropped it 1000 times, had it for almost 2 years and it still works amazing. I'd say get it! :)

  • yes,my KE850 has froze

  • can you de-activate the T9 in writing messages? i am going to buy this Prada or the second and I am not sure of the T9 .I am extremely annoyed by that function.(don't ask why xD ) please reply or mail me at [email protected]

  • has your phone ever froze?

  • Well this thing has failed to be an iPhone wannabe I see.... My iPhone 3G beats this phone anyday...

  • brilliant phone best looks

  • great handset ever!!!

  • I got this phone for christmas, and I have to say I love it. It is easy to use and I love the way it looks. the only issue I have is that the screen scratches really easily. I have been really careful with it but the screen is covered is lots of light scratches. I don't know how it happened.

  • To be honest, If I had to choose between this phone & the Alternatives. I'd choose the Alternatives. Though pretty on the outside. Unfortunately it lacks the reflection on the inside. There's only one speaker. Which for my hearing, does not apply. The choices are limited. Especially the message tones, where given 4 dull default tones. So not catchy & worse is, it does not look up to its brand as a stylistic sophiscated phone. That's why im still using my N70.

  • This phone is horrible. It is a horror to use and is really bad. I had it for 2 weeks and never want it again. You cannot see it at all in the sun, one of its 1000 downfalls. Anymore questions, email me on [email protected] I really do not want you to buy this phone!

  • It has a really short battery life. It's kind of annoying that it doesn't have qwerty keyboard. but i think the new version does overall its an okay phone.

  • does it have greek language?

  • wow i want this phone for christmas

  • my prada also froze on me right after i was blue toothing songs from another phone.... i took the battery out and put it back in..... and i am currently staring @ it.... waiting for it to start working again.... sad... so.....! any suggestions 4 me 2 ?

  • I really wanna get this phone. Does At&t considered to connect it for me?

  • Can anybody let me know is there any way to increase the volume of LG PRADA since i can't here in public area as it sound is very low.Plz suggest any software or way to increase it's volume to get little at least. Appriciate help!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey can u watch movies on this phone?? And hook ur up to ur car so that u can play the songs from ur phone??

  • my prada started freezing and so when i took out the battery and tried to turn on my phone it wouldnt work... any suggestions on how to fix it? thanks! and i've never had any problems with it before

  • where can I find a manual for this ke850

  • it doesn't have WiFi

  • Hello, I Want To Know If LG KE850 Prada Have Free WiFi Connectivity? Thanks.

  • this phone is rubbish. nothing but problems with it since i got it. alarm sometimes wont go off when its been set, phone freezes, couldnty even be heard when making calls without the headset when i got it, poor sound quality, poor software, hard to use, some buttons on touch screen more sensitive than others. BAD!!

  • so ive had this phone for almost a year...in the USA, this phone is only good for calling and texting...I can't utilize the phones features on AT&T. this phone is great if you are looking for just elegance...but if you want versatility, go with another phone. common problems...screen freezes when it hasn't been wiped in a couple of days, to many blackout areas compared to other phones in same network, and it delays receiving and sending of texts (i.e. i can't receive some txt till late and some of my txts are received by others late) this was a great phone none the less...just frustrating at how it lost its value so fast

  • hi i just wanted to ask i wanna buy this cell phone but whats this problem while charging i cant get any call??and can i make my messages with PASSWORD so no one can see my sms-s without my permission

  • gatia phone with no featurezs 3310 is much better

  • I bought that phone 3 mounts ago!!!!! its a beautiful phone....becouse its PRADA!But...I am desperate....the price is faling dawn.I bought it in serbia and pay 430e. and naw its 270e.haw are the prices by you! peace :-)))

  • i have a problem to this phone. can any one tell me if it naturally freeze when you charge it??? what the... what I'm going to do?? i can't use it when it charging!!!! this is the firstime i saw a phone like this!!!!

  • i really want this phone but i need to know if it is a good phone. is it a good phone tho? writee Baak xox

  • my cousin in getting this phone for me for christmas but so many people have had problems with it and i don't know what to do because i don't want to dissapoint him by breaking it. what shall i do?

  • yes i have the same problem lke yours, i bought my 3 months ago, and during charging i cant use it,i charge this phone for bout 3 hrs, then after next day theres no more enough battery so i have to charge it again.

  • i bought my lg prada 3months ago, and i have a lots of problem, sometimes it froze, specially when am using the fm radio.....and when am talking to somebody i cant hear anything.and am planning to sell this, i dont like it.its terrible.

  • this phone is slow, and it freezes occasionally. Screen is terrible, scratches easily, especially with the case that comes with it. Don't use the case.. i used mine for a few weeks and i had a buntch of scratches on it. Reception is absolutely terrible.. will lose signal while talking or will not pick up any singal at all. Isn't clear when talking. Only good thing bout the phone is the design. Gotta love it.

  • i have been dropping mine for past 5 months or so an it still works perfect.

  • I had Lg Prada with me from 6 months,not using since i had problem with Low voice when i was in public area i can't hear anything,it's okey in room bcoz no noise room, does anyone help me to increase the volume of lG prada? apriciate any suggestions and help!

  • what part of the phone does the pain peel off?

  • I am not recev any big data via blue tooth because the data is not directly store in external memory(because max memory in the phone is 7.60 Mb)

  • the prada paint peels off!! crap!

  • ihave this phOne. and its pretty good. but why does the camera don't have a zoom? why if i capturing a far picture? i can't use it because it don't have a zoom?

  • hey guys have a question to those who own one of these. uhm is there any way to clear the log of the recently used contacts? the one in the messaging area. its starting to pile up and starting to look like my entire fonebook.

  • This phone is very very good. It is classic, modern and very pretty... I'm satisfected with my mobile... Thanks LG for All...

  • You can buy this phone from Crazy John's.... (Australia) don't know bout anywhere else....

  • does anyone have a problem with the phone that when charging the phone does not ring or cannot be used. Please can someone let me know. Thanks

  • its a nice fone but its an lg and all lg's have signal issues. lets hope the parada 2 is not in that same league when it comes to signals

  • I pretty much have no problems with mine. I bought mine from Australia and: 1. I have a speakerphone icon 2. There is no email on the bottom of my LG logo on the back.

  • Ive had this phone for a good year or so now, and to be honest, I've been quite bored with it. It's the first phone I have ever personally owned, and although it is a beautiful one with a great touch screen, the applications and customisation is not enough. For example, there are no available themes to download on your Prada, nor are there any compatible games. That said, it is a very sexy phone to put in your pocket and go out. Hence, if you're are looking for a great looking phone that just purely texts and calls, this is for you.

  • PRADA 2 has just been anounced!!!! planning on Europe release before end of this year!! Crazy price tag of 700 euros!! But dang, it's PRADA!! GSM arena need update!

  • i am thinkin of gettin this phone..can any1 tell me if i cn recieve second calls n do call conferencin on it or no? n if i cn dail oder no.s while i m on a call alreadi? dis is vry imp for me..plz reply asap.... ..thnx!!

  • good but i have problem

  • I have this phone for one year and it is working good! The only thing that make this phone still usable and popular is the brand "PRADA" and its simplicity.

  • Nothing wrong with a bit of man fashion in 2008, Im rocking one. Girls dig it on dudes and besides its black and sort of masculine compared to for example the channel phone!

  • Hey yo! Is this phone solely for girls or can a dude rock a prada phone

  • who cares it's PRADA

  • This isn't designed by "Angela" de la Ruiz Prada (actually her correct name is Agatha de la Ruiz Prada). This is a phone launched by the fashion house Prada, whose designer is Miuccia Prada.

  • is there any organizer function or to do list with LG prada? thanks :)

  • no.. it doesn't.. KC910 will be the 1st LG phone that has wifi..

  • i have tih phone for a year, and i LOVE it. it is the best phone i ever had.

  • does the lg prada have wifi?

  • its coool

  • Prada , hum i think Angela Ruiz de la Prada , should be shame to has her name in this phone , thats the worst phone ever , no spec at all for the price is useless and overpriced .I think most of low price phone can do more things that it does.Don't buy it's wasting money.If u have money and want fashion phone buy a vertu or samsung armani.

  • Im using an LG Prada and I really dont like it. Its slow, not many options, etc etc. and the touch screen can be a little irritating at times as it tends to freeze and needs to be restarted. For some people (like me for instance!!) have a hard time understanding how to keep someone on hold and go to the menu of the phone without accidently hanging up on the person. Well now i know and find it really stupid and wonder why they had to make it really difficult.

  • my boyfried brought me this phone i loved it so much best phone ever a lad stole it of me tho and now i cant find anywhere that sells it help i want this one agen !!!!

  • Hi, can anyone tell me how to stop volume ascending in the ringtone

  • You can spell crap many ways. One way is the LG Prada. I owned this failure for about 1.5 days. Slow and sluggish response. Save your money or spend it elsewhere. HTC, Apple, and Samsung make superior touch screens.

  • Battery life says 3 hours, that sounds quite less? i have the nokia 6301, it the battery life is pretty pathetic. I need a new goodlooking phone and i was considering this until i read the battery life. How bad as it?

  • Hi, can anyone tell me how can I can make the ringtone volume to start from maximum when the phone rings? When the phone rings,the ringtone increases by the time.How can I make it stop increasing and be the same volume at all time? Thanks

  • Press the profile button on the left side of the phone and the keypad will appear

  • you can do that by pressing the side button, it is intuitive that once the phone is in conversational mode, the only button that works are the physical ones. ;)

  • OMGG Reviewed by thomas on 13/07/2008 ilove my prade phone but you cannot dial or click numbers once you start conversation making it impossible to listen to voicemails or topup credit with vouchers any advice people? thomas cadiff [email protected] Rating: I am having the same issue!!

  • stop the tone ; what do you mean ?? i have the phone nd i dont get a tone after my calls . unless you programmed it to do that ; check your settings and everything

  • for those who have this phone: can you tell me if you can stop the tone you hear after every call? It really annoys me!

  • gucci i hear you gurl it is a hot phone

  • dis phn is hot luv it it suit my style and i got rid of the prada sign cause it was comin off so i wrote D&G on it.

  • capacitive sensings uses a thin layer of see thru metal to sense changes in the capacitance of metal. resistive screens use a wire that you push down on and contacts another wire below it. the resulting voltage is fed back to the processor to tell you where the finger is at. the resistive is not solid state it wears out. capacitive is solid state. resistive covers a percentage of light coming thru from the screen. makes it harder to see the screen, so they boost the light, which consumes energy from the battery life.

  • one of the worst phones ever! the design is nice but it freezes, battery is bad, so its not worth it at all!

  • It's not a bad little phone. The design is nice and layout is very easy to use. The bad: It's very slow at times and to msg people is a painful process. When on a call your ear may pump numbers and when it comes to calling 1800 numbers it's hard to dial in numbers while it's a touch screen. It's a good phone for someone who has patience. Over all, it's an ok phone but it would of been better with out the Prada logo on it. Makes you look self centered, something I'm not.

  • to those who have had this phone and had no problems do you have the ok button or speaker button on the side. Also do you have the email address on the back below the lg logo? There are differences and im trying to see if they are fake or just come from different countries

  • I think the viewty is cheap and nasty, much prefer the Prada

  • hi not sure if you already fixed the issue, but i had the same problem. i googled and found that the zoom feature only works if you change it to a lower resolution (maximum 640x480). hope that helps.

  • I just got this phone n i LOVE it!!! The only thing i dont like abt it is the fast that i cant customize my menu, but that's what happens after using a Nokia :) i also dont like that you cant use a video for the wallpaper even if it doesnt have sound! But i still loooove this phone!!!

  • yes try bay thay have some if not why not buy a invisible shield (trade name) ive got one on my prada and ipod and thay are the dogs dodas no more scratches or unsightly cases

  • yes u can use the prada phone with t mobile I just bought one and the call quality is excellent!!

  • ku990 (viewty) is currently the best among all lg's mobile!!!! absolutly 100%!!! beleive me... i love it !!! life is good with this phone!!!

  • hey guyz im thinkin abt gettin dis phn but some of u guyz say yous hav some problems and some say its good plz tell me if i should get it. and 1more thing is dis phn LOUD cause i had a m6100 a it wasnt dat LOUD

  • Hi can someone tell me if the LG KE850 is better than LG KU990 or not? please tell me as i am going to buy a new phone and want to choose between these two and not sure which one to buy. Please e-mail me reply at; [email protected]

  • I just purchased the silver lg prada phone. I love it! I also love the case that it came with.. but I have lost the case, and has been lookin online every where to find a replacement.. Does anyone know where i can find the replacement original prada case? or buy a new orignial case? plse let me kno.. Thanks

  • how can i repair my lg prada's screen. Actually it fell down and the scree broke and i still like the lg prada

  • i've had a prada since christmas and love it, i had no problems at all, but i've had it stolen and in the process of getting a replacement, does anyone know what sort of breakdown warranty comes if i were to have a problem with this one?

  • Poo phone, stay away from the prada and lg go 4 armani by samsung

  • good

  • The specs says it has a "capacitative touch screen". what does that mean? And what is the difference between this type of touch screen and other types?

  • Is this phone Wi-Fi compatable?

  • Free when u text or call someone, key pads come onto the screen for u, search the net and u ill find pics of it

  • to allow the phone to ring for longer, go into your mp3 songs and choose one and in my case the phone will ring for the entire song

  • to prevent the prada sign rubbing off further 1. always place the phone in the case with the prada sticking out the top, alot of people place the prada in the case upside dwn which rubs it off further 2. purchase a full body screen cover (thin sheer plastic cover) that will cover the prada sign and the front of the phone its brilliant.

  • can i use the prada phone for tmobile?

  • same thing happens to me, i wonder other users face the same problem. the prada sign come off after a period of time

  • how do you use memory card for mp3.

  • I have AT&T as my service provider and i was able to browse on the web, text and mms etc. Ask T-mobile for the proxy ip

  • Having used the LG Prada since it's release I can say that it is clearly not the best phone you can buy and would try and caution people who are thinking of purchasing one. When I received the Phone I thought I would be getting state of the art technology. Unfortunately whilst using it straight away several problems arose. Firstly, when entering text in the text message menu the letters/keys occasional stick. Even though the phone operates a touch screen there are several instances when you cannot get past the first letter on one number. In order to do so you have to spiradically type letters and then delete them. Thinking this was a problem that was simply linked my phone alone I asked friends who had also had the same problems. Secondly, although provided with a wallet both the phone and the wallet are prone to scuffs and scratches. Naturally mobile phone will go through some wear and tear but this phone seems to be made for show purposes only. Touching the case shows finger marks and scratches appear very easily. For now I am trying to switch, possibly to the iPhone. I have to say that although small and lightweight the LG prada should be bought by people who want a good looking mobile but hardly use one.

  • The LG prada doesnot play mp3 as loud as other mp3 cellphones.you cannot lock individual applications. This phone doesnot require a lock code each time you use it as Motorola

  • someone had posted that Prada is not compatible with Vista. This is a huge misleading!!!... and it makes me thinking back and forth when buying the laptop with Vista. But actually...it's compatible!!!!....It is able to transfer files/music and stuffs... People have to be careful to make sure you are buying the real Prada Phone & don't make false comment....-___-

  • does anyone know if i can use this phone with a verizon provider??? ANYWAY AT ALL????

  • this phone sucks. it is not feature rich. it is slow and it lags. hard to text. i cant use the internet and i have tmobile. i called LG and Tmobile to help me, but it didnt work. LG guy told me that since it is an international phone, i cant use the internet. sucks.

  • I like the prada It is very fashionable

  • The prada only rings a couple of times, never giving me enough time to answer calls- I cannot find any way of adjusting this- its driving me insane

  • LG mobiles in general drop out often.

  • i dunno whether to get the viewity or the prada. i know stacks of people that have the prada but they have alot of problems with it. and the viewty is stupid. or i can get the iphone but it has no bluetooth. and the prada apparently hasnt got a good camera

  • The phone drops calls like a hot potata dilly.

  • if you do not need 3G, Prada is much more beautiful phone as viewty

  • I found this phone for $325 on phonesource, would you guys recommend spending another $75 to get the LG KU990 Viewty?

  • You are right, sometimes it really happens with Prada, we made yesterday new program to improve this. You can ask some of authorize LG service center to overwrite the program. It will be in warranty frames ( free of charge). To download new program takes maximum 1 hour Kind regards

  • Is this phone worth it? I was thinking about getting this or the Samsung U900 Soul. Would you guys recommend this over it? And is the browser slow? When you press the # key, does it go into silent mode? Thanks.

  • own this phone for almost 1 year, still love it

  • yeah what u want to do is press the button on the left side of the phone with the sound sign. and that will give u the key pad. during a call/. voicemail

  • eep285... you zoom in by tapping on the zoom in button on the right side of the camera screen, i hope that helps!

  • i only have the phone for 2months and i took good care of it but the prada sign is coming off........ the phone is only ok its not the best phone... i thought it would have been better though...

  • I am having abit of trouble with the camera, but I like the phone. Over all I haven't had any major problems, jst the date problem a lot of ppl have had, and I can't get the camera to zoom. Can anyone tell me how to get the camera to zoom? It did it once, but I've had it for 6 months now and I can't get it to zoom! I like the phone, and it always sound good saying u have a Prada phone.

  • The small volume button on the left side of the phone allows you to use the keypad while on calls.

  • The phone is not the best to msg, but above all it's ok. Can someone help me with this: The other day I activated Voicemail and inorder to hear your msg you need to dial digits. Problem = How do you bring up the digit pad while on the phone ????

  • the case that came with the phone is terrible! my phone has scratches and marks on it. anyone know how to take it off?

  • Hey Playa... id deff go for the lg viewty... it has a 5MP camera and is more value for money compared to the prada which letters scratch off or the shine which has a super soft screen and cracks. DOOOOOOOO IIIIITT!!

  • i jz got dis fone day befo yest. itz a cool fone .. bt itz actually very complicated ..ny da screen of da fone needs a lot ov maintainence which z a pain...

  • I'v had this phone for a month now and I love it. befor the prada i had the ke820 (for about 4 months)there was nothing wrong with it and I realy did like the phone, but I realy just wanted a phone that would set me apart from everyone else. One other reason is because i got it for a good deal on ebay BRAND NEW for $200, i live in the US. The cool thing about it is the prada and the ke820 have the same battery, charger, USB, ect.

  • the phone is nothing special, it just looks nice and and a nice black finish, and also a nice touchscreen, however the camera is poor and the its difficult to text.

  • I have had this phone for around 7months now and it has started deleting my messages then sending them back to me when i recieve another message has anybody else had this problem? how did you sort it? please help

  • how do you send and receive picture messages?

  • me myself is having problems withmy phn. the diallingpage will not come up on the screen

  • Yeah this phone is a piece of crap to be quite honest, i have one myself... and i regretted buying it about 2 days after i got it, and now its broke, so i have it for like 3-4 months and its already broken.

  • In Australia Viewty is $749 and Prada is $799 on Vodafone network. SO while you may be right you are also wrong.

  • hey well someone on here said that the viewty was cheaper than the prada which is bs just an hour ago i bought it on ebay for 300 while the viewty was anywhere from 350-600 so yeah if your gonna argue dont get your facts from the overpriced store that are ridiculous and get your facts straight

  • For you it doesn't make any different, but for some people it does. I had a phone for more than a year before gave it away. That Prada logo still look fine. I didn't really buy it because of that Prada logo though I just like a design of the phone and I still dothink that it's a best looking phone I've ever seen. I'm a designer, small details concern me. I don't really care about features until they make a phone that can do my laundry, cleaning house and stuff like that

  • A Viewty and a Prada don't look the same. I don't know if you're blind or not, but it doesn't look the same. Close but not the same.

  • Does this sound like you: "Oh wow what a gorgeous phone! It's like so totally cool! I'm totally gonna buy it. I will look so hot when I go to the mall with my tiny dog in my handbag!" Then this phone is perfect for you! Not only does it have no features, your practically paying just for the writing that says "Prada" when you can buy the Viewty for the same price that looks exactly the same with proper features. Any smart person would get the Viewty.

  • is this like an iPhone or something? please reply

  • Hey guys can any one of you tell me that hows the sound of this mobile compare to Sonyericsson w550 , w810 , w850 , samsung d500 with and without external speakers, and can any one tell me that does this mobile have equilazer for sound setting and the advantages and disadvantages in this mobile and is there any way to increase the sound of this mobile i mean external speakers plzzzzzzzzzzzzz reply

  • How do you text using the Lg ke850 prada phone do it have a keyboard

  • EDGE is a fast internet connection more than 3g.

  • I had this phone over a year ago and traded it in for the viewty. Now i have the silver version because i remembered how much i loved it. I cant fault this phone at all. Texting on it is so much easier somehow next to the viewty. This has to be the best phone i have ever had. I cant get enough of this phone. I have had alot of phones coz im a bit of a geek when it comes to gadgets and i love this phone to peices!

  • In colors it should also list the silver!

  • ive had this phone for about a year now!...no problems what so ever, i absolutely love it still!

  • Being a brand person, i fell in love with the Prada. I had it for a few months before switching to a nokia 6500c (big mistake!) Had no problems with it and it still works fine now. The only thing i don't like is that im pretty sure you cant call someone from the contacts, you have to type in the number yourself :S. Which is a downright pain.. ... and the screen scratches, alot! Overall, one of the best phones i've had.

  • hey... all i wanna say is that I LOVE'ed' this phone! (it got stolen! :( ...) yes, it might have some problems but so do other phones! :P I JUST LOVEEEE THIS PHONE!

  • Hi Guys could someone help me find a copy of LG MOBILE SYNC please could you help me find this software unfortunaly I lost it. Please if someone could help with a copy. I WILL BE HAPPY.Please let me now about anything you have for me.I appreciate if you do [email protected]

  • For quick accessing the camera just press the mp3 player side button for 2 to 3 seconds.

  • Could anybody tell if the camera is supposed to start working as soon as you choose camera options as the screen just remains black and I can't get it to work. Am I doing something wrong and need to do something first?

  • Helo. Problem with Date Change. It occurs when i play music. after im done and close mp3 player, date changes back to previous day, which result alarm not working. im facing another problem tho. for some reason when im using camcorder and save option is set to external, i cant film anything because it says memory full even though external has plenty space left. i can only film to internal(1min max...) then move file to external afterwards. but when im taking picture it's fine, it saves to internal/external no problem. only in camcorder option i cant save to external directly. any way to solve this problem???

  • Hey everyone!! I have also the Prada and I have only problems with this. The first one, is the one that everyone have here "that date problem" always going to the previous date!!! It only helps for few days by doing a reset, but the problems comes again and again. Second problem I have is the fact that a lot of persons that calls me complain about the fact that they always hear their voice twice like an echo (you that are using the phone , you hear the conversation perfectly, but the other person not!). I can assure you that it's not a local network problem, but it's a real Prada problem, because when using another phone, I don't have this echo problem anymore. Third problem I have is using the sms! When I write a sms, the touchkeys blocks always for a short moment, I always have to press another keytouch and delete the letter and write the letter again that i wanted to!! Fourth problem is the connection/synchronisation with the pc. It really work very bad! After a lot of trials it works for a short moment and then the recognition is failing again. You have to know that u first have to change in the prada menu the USB connectivity on "Data Service" or "Mass storage" to be able doing a connection depending what you want to do. (like transfering your adressbook, you have to select Data Service, otherwise the LG software on your pc will not recognize it. If you want to transfer some music, pictures and so on, you have to select mass storage!) But even doing this, it still doesn't work. I also tried on other pc's, because i thought maybe it was my pc. But NO! Even on other pc's it didn't worked! I'm living in Belgium, but the phone was bought in Germany. I called the belgium LG service, they didn't want to help, they told me that i have to send it in Germany again for the warranty and solve the software problem. I send it to Germany, LG is working there with an external company that repair their phones. But even them couldn't repair it. They have send it me back after 50 days!!!! I have contacted the office of LG Germany directly and they telling me now that i have to send it back to them directly and that they will see for the problem. So monday i will send it back and i'm curious about what they will say!!! I hope that they will give me simply a new one or another like a viewty or something that seems to be better! Voila, i'm done with my opinion! :o)

  • the option for the speaker is on the screen u have to press the lock button(right side button). in order for it to show up. you have to unplugged the headset. if the headset is plugged in. the option will not appear.

  • Can anyone tell me how to switch the load speaker on, i prefer to talk into the handset than have it stuck to my ear and I cannot seem to be able to find it, I thought it would be the little button on the left hand side of the handpiece which looks like a little megaphone, but this just puts the keypad numbers back on the screen for when you have those lovely calls that say press 1 for this, 2 for that, and 3 for nothing at all. Help required anyone, I dont think that LG have excelled theirselves with the guide book for this model.

  • One website which has best wallpaper for LG Prada is:

  • I just got it today, but no reception at my place (BC, Canada). I love it so much except for this problem. Does anyone know how to fix ? Otherwise I have to return it in 2 days. Response me ASAP !

  • @ People having problems I've heard nothing but people having problems with just about everything this phone does. You should send it off to be repaired when you have a problem instead of coming on here. People who post aren't experts, the best advice anyone can give you is take it back!!

  • well i dont have anything nice to say AT ALL!! i HATE this phone! i have only had it 4 long months and firstly my problems started like all of the other people out there with the alarm not working... constantly making me late for work!! then the date would always be wrong!! then the time!! then it would all of a sudden decide to freeze!! the only way to fix it was to pull the battery out!! then one day i went to open a message and low and behold it had once again frozen!! taking the battery out and placing it back in again, it would not turn back on for a whole 3 hours!! once i finally got it back on it would turn itself off again, straight after the prada opening symbol?? finally when it decided to committ itself to staying on, i would make phone calls but then when i wanted to hang up..that wasnt an option!! so my phone bill would go on and on until the other person on the other end hung up!! NO HOUSE CALLS!! then when i finally took the dumb arse phone back the guy in the shop took the battery out to have a look at the codes and when i left i tried to turn the phone back on it just wouldnt!! and that is where i am at now....with a shit LG PRADA that doesnt even turn on and if it did i still wouldnt want it!! after sending it back to be repaired i was told i had moisture damage!! when i can swear it has been near NO WATER at all this is proved by my battery symbol still being white!! the moisture damage can apparently be from putting it in your pocket.WHO DOESNT PUT THEIR PHONE IN THEIR POCKET?? the utterly rude customer service you recieve from LG itself is ridiculous, with them disconnecting me 4 times...i have just given up. but if i can stop one person from buying this display phone then i am happy. my sister and friend both have this phone and both are starting to act like mine. my friend hers is up to the alarm stage and my sisters is up to the i dont want to turn on stage. DONT BUY!! ITS NOT WORTH IT!! NOW I HAVE TO BUY A NEW PHONE AND BUY OUT MY 2YR CONTRACT!! LG NEED TO ADMITT THEY HAVE MADE THE SHITTEST PHONE ON THE MARKET TO DATE AND REFUND THESE PHONES. STICK TO WASHING MACHINES AND TUMBLE DRYERS LG!!!

  • hey,i've got 2 major problems with this phone.the first being that it's battery life doesnt last at all,few calls and few vibratoins get's it off.second being the meamory always reads full when i've got 93% free.these aside,lovely phone.i show it off alot,and everyone likes it!

  • go for the viewty. i work for a phone shop and it is worth your while!

  • K. Had this phone for 4months. best part i like about it is when i show off to ppl. especially ladies. mm. found 2 problems tho. 1. sometimes alarm doesn't ring. i don't know why. some ppl suggested turn off phone and turn back on and it will fix but no use. most times, it will work, but just when u need most, alarm never sound. this is common issue ppl having btw. 2. sometimes date doesn't change. and sometimes date go back to previous date. also a common issue. other than that, no other problem, and i love the phone.

  • Hi folks, got myself a prada, and after 5 days i'm really wishing I hadnt, it wont connect to my computer, but did manage to download some screensavers and wallpapers from a web site I found on this forum, but the phone keeps saying "File not supported" and if I try to bluetooth stuff from my old phone it says "Memory full" even though I only had approx 90 contacts on the phone and this was before I downloaded the screen stuff, it has a memory card in it, any ideas??? Please help, this is going to be a long 12 months on this contract using this phone, wish I had stuck to my previous phone as it looks like this one will be going out of the window pretty soon. Thanks in advance

  • @ Person below iPhone and Prada are NOTHING alike! the only thing they have in common is the fact they are mobile phones and they have a touchscreen. iPhone was created as an entertainment phone and this was created to appease the fashion victims of society. Would you like 100% fake rhinestones with your Prada purchase today?

  • .lolz, for people who keep comparing this fone with iPhone or say Prada is a copy of iPhone, from my research i believe LG launched this one first before iPhone, am i right? so should iPhone be a copy of Prada version!? .scratches: without screen protector, it is TOO obvious for touchscreen phones -> try it on iPhone if you don't believe .delaying date: happened to me as well as some users have also complained about this problem .other than that, good fone and features for me personally .peace

  • within the memory card can you have folders and sub folders within the memory card

  • I have a T9 texting question, What do you push to look at all the possible word choices using T9? for example, if i type the word "go" in T9, it shows up as "in". Is there a way to change this word to what I wanted?

  • Is flash the phone fix the problem? What does mean to flash the phone? thx

  • To acces to your voice mail you need to key your password, but it's true, the key pad does nothigh. To fix this, you have to go to the main menu, settings, call, send DTMF tones and select "on". Hope this help.

  • i just bought one on ebay for �102 it comes with a 2gig cars id it a good price for one

  • PHEW people just hate it WHY??? What if u get this phone for $75 w/2year service???? i just got this phone. and i love it!!! so don b hate on it. be fact that this is great phone.

  • @ Person below Please sweet raptor Jesus no. Do not buy it because it says Prada. You are paying for the label nothing else. PS Do you happen to own a small dog that you carry around in your handbad?

  • @ Pepsi You make a strong point, but i have the viewty and i am still so tempted to buy this phone just to show of the logo. At "dial a phone" its just �150.00- OMG i want it. When you see them both face to face however, the urg to buy both drops. But i love the box and casing that u get with the prada. I still wont buy it though- i think :)

  • I fail to see the point of this phone. Why are people buying this and not the Viewty? This phone lacks in comparision to the Viewty and appears to only attract buyers because it says "Prada". If you would like a "Prada phone" I am currently opening a buisness called 'We Write Designer Names On Your Phone And Charge You For It' I have a feeling the buisness is going to go OFF! Discuss.

  • I've tested the phone and it's pretty good. 2Mp is defenitly not bad! Good photo quality but it can't mach the viewty from LG. That's even better for a little bit more price. But i think this phone is qualified to be a very good one!

  • the worst phone I ever had!!!! and I had plenty. never buy this phone, it's extremely slow, the battery is terribly weak and the touchscreen is not reliable at all. Luckily I was able to return it to the shop only a few days after buying it and got a full refund. The screen went crazy on every change of temperature - if I left my house and went to the garden it went completely mad and started writing in turkish! this phone is pure shit and I'm amazed that Prada would sign something as crappy as this product.

  • does the screen scratch easily? please reply asap.

  • this phone is still and will always be a pain in the back!! avoid this phone and any LG phones. no support what so ever.

  • Hi...now i'm confuse about the memory. I barely have things storge in the phone memory. But the memory status under multimedia it shows more than 5mb. I think this is something wrong. It cause the touch screen reacts slow. Does anyone has this problem?

  • I have the same date problem and searced the internet so the solution about the date problem is this files: BUT I dont know how to install it to the phone. Anyone can help? How can we use this files?

  • would someone please explain to me how i access my voicemail the keypad does nothing when pressed when already on voicemail options facility so what is the alternitive way or do i forever have no voicemail i can get into? heeeelp

  • Can anybody tell me where I can find the driver to connect the Prada phone to my PC ? Thanks!

  • I've had a constant problem with the date changing back since I had it (new) not even a month old, and phone4u exchanged it 3 times for 3 different phones and everyone had exactly the same problem. Shit LG and Prada and Phone4U

  • Why spend $500 for a phone that does not even have the 850 frequency if you live in North America?

  • date problem The answer from LG.com You are right, sometimes it really happens with Prada, we made yesterday new program to improve this.

To download new program takes maximum 1 hour Kind regards KE850CP40-7-V10i-JAN-19-2008 Solves a problem of date

  • I had the Prada for 1 month before it started turning itself off, date started automatically changing back to previous date, i would choose something in the menu and it would open up something completely different and NO reception with this phone. Crappy phone would never go back to LG again.

  • am having the date problem, does anyone know how to update the firmware on it? i found the actuall firmware but dont know how to upgrade!!! any ideas?

  • This phone does not last a month... and its a VERY BIG task to try and get it repared.. LG are not very supportive at all.. its a beautiful phone.. but I know many who have had it not work for them.. it works fine.. then.. it will never switch on forever! avoid this phone

  • I use the prada now for 8 months, an amazing phone, every day again and never 1 problem with it till now. Not a super hit on features, but a nice 'just mobile' phone

  • i was wondering the silver parda's software is better than the black. Or are the new Black prada is getting better? anyone knows?

  • what is that mean? dont get it...how to fix the date problem with that?

  • it looks like a really nice phone im going to get one very soon

  • firmware KE850CP40-7-V10i-JAN-19-2008 Solves a problem of date

  • I went from a blackberry 8100 to the LG prada knowing that it wasnt going to be as functional. And i bought the phone evan after readin all the horrible reviews cause im a huge slave to brand names. Ive had the phone for two months now and i absolutely love it. I havent had any issues with it, i find it easy to txt now that im used to it, i have had no software problems, the battery life isnt the best but ill get over it [splurge on the car charger its not going to kill you].... overall it is an average phone but i never get bored of it and it looks absolutely amazing compared to any other phone. all in all i would say it is my best phone yet, alongside my blackberry of course

  • i cant believe all the nasty things ppl ave said bwt the prada!! ive had mine for 8month and touch wood nothings gone wrong, it come wit a case so tht protects from scratches... as wit any phone, the touch screen if fine after a day or so getin used 2 it... as wit any phone. its so lovely and simple to use i dont honestly see what the fuss is about... tho admitadly i have had other LG products that were shockingly bad... the PRADA is GREAT!!!!!

  • The silver prada is just �150.00 at "dial a phone" website. Hehehe, i wonder if the viewty will become this cheap, hmm im worried, lol. Yeah but... check it out :)

  • I have the same "date problem". this phone really sucks. I havent seen anything like that before. Lg will be my last choice after prada.

  • I've had to return this phone 5 times!!! Really bad handset!

  • I have bought just 1 GB of memory for this phone...and i was wondering...how much does it support? 2GB? 4 GB?...???

  • Any sign of themes yet?

  • hye, i just bought this phone through ebay 2 weeks ago and i found that this phone is quite ok. though, i still wondering how to check the space for internal memory. it's hard for me to do so and could anyone please help me.

  • @jdv don't even think spending money on LG products bro specially over seas phones LG wont help you at all if you have problems so watch out, ill suggest either SE o Nokia those are the only 2 manufacture i would trust for now on. i prefer SE :)

  • I just got this phone yesterday..... N i love it i bought it for $420 (dollars) its also what phone company you have.... with t-mobile it works perfect... with cingular it doesnt..... but its worth it

  • hi. do you guys think i should buy this phone? i love touchscreens and this phone sounds pretty strong. any help would be greatly appreiciated.

  • well, after reading all of these comments, i think that its pure luck. it seems some people got shitty ones, and others got perfect ones. the cheapest i can find it is for $384 (american). do you guys think its worth it?

  • i bought the prada about 6months ago and it is the worst phone i have ever had! for a so called designer iconic phone it is practicly all plastic it feel's so cheap and scrape's really easy i would suggest throwing it away and bumping your insurance

  • Josh thanks man. i guess this problem isnt necessairly uncommon....im just gonna take it apart and see what happens...at least i can have fun wit a broken phone! lol

  • @ confused i have the same problem man. thats what it would do only the answer and end keys would light up for a bit and it be just pitch black, it wont even charger its a bummer that LG wont help yhou at all unless you are in the market where this phone is available its just simple crap!

  • hi, my friend's prada broken and i have no idea what to do. the screen wont turn on. the only thing that happens is that the call and end keys illuminate, then those turn off too. does anyone kno how to fix this problem??

  • really nice phone.I would buy it.

  • hi - anyone knows whether this can take 8gb micro sd or the max is 2gb? cheers, K

  • Yes it does have a voice recording feature.

  • this is a very simple touch screen phone. but looks very cool . if u need more features go SE or Nokia. tats my advise

  • Im very sadded to say this phone is the biggest heap of crap ever!! im up to my third one and its been four month since i got it. im very disappointed as i thought prada at least would only put their name towards a good phone. the sad thing is i will never buy a lg again!!! When i went back to the stor they told me yer its pretty crap why didnt they have the guts to tell me when i bought it??? Very big disappointment!!

  • I am in Jamaica and I use the LG Prada...its a wonderful phone with good reception, except that the screen freezes sometimes. My first prada phone froze and I had to return it. For all who dont know how to use the features,the phone actually comes with a manual. It's not that detailed but it will help you as you go along.

  • my point is the bad customer servise LG provide that the phone it self!! get it? still F LG!

  • Hi guys. It would be grateful if you could advise whether LG Prada offers voice recording feature as I am reqruied to record a number of conversations during calls. Thank you in advnace : )

  • i bought the prada a few months ago and it's working perfectly fine for me. if you bought the phone overseas then it's your fault for choosing a phone that has to be imported. never had any freezes, battery lives for about 3-4 days and i have never had a single problem with it either.

  • Ok seriously LG is by far the worst cell company outhere. why? here is why: Prada phone worst phone ever it freezes alot it wont power on at all wont take the charge period thats only happy after 3 months bull crap? hmm kinda but more bull* is LG i call them asking for assistance o for a repair center Lg said that do to this phone is over seas they don't cover o repair it here in the states. hmm so how in the world can the consumer us get costomer service from big big company like lg that makes about every crap on earth can't get little assistance from the product that themselves make. They want to keep the customer happy but what they really doing is upsetting them more and more like myself, I am done with LG ill never buy o recomend it worst costomer service they don't take care their costumer around the world, LG should stand for LOOSERS GANG! so if your planning on buying a LG think 5 times, you will regret it every sec of it. for a company that shut you down and don't help you at all does not diserve our business at all. F lg!

  • Here is the full body invisible shield protecter for your phone. You may find cheaper price on ebay..........:D

  • whats a full body screen protector? where do i get one from? i got my pastic case's/covers from phone shops. thanks heaps.

  • i brought 2 plastic/clear cases...they all break after few hours!! so i just use full body screen protector. So the cell won't get scratches. And the phone looks great too!~~

  • I just bought the Prada phone. I do like it but the battery is not very good. I have to charge it like every other day and I am not even using it that much. It also has bad reception in Canada.

  • i posted an opinion saying the 'prada' was rubbing off, i now have my second plastic cover/case for my phone but they crack and break so easily so i might get a silicon one, though they look ugly it will protect my phone. does anyone know of any plastic covers/cases for the prada that dont crack after one day?

  • Thanks to a lot of the reviews I read about this phone, I AM NOT GOING TO PURCHASE IT NOW! Thanks people!!! I would've wasted a lot of money...

  • is there any way that we can install QWERTY for the black prada? thanks in advance

  • i like this phone cas although its touch screen its is quiteaddictive and doesnot have any problms as have been mentioned...

  • use other cases. like clear one or silicone one. Or the best is screen protector full body just 20$. Sold worldwide then your cell will NOT scratch!!

  • mines is scratching off as well! i have not resolved this issue....i mean how can we?

  • speaker button is the lock button while you are talking on the phone...lol...when you pree the lock button, there are options show up for speaker/mute. :D Does anyone know where to update the software for this phone? thx in advance!

  • ive had this phone for alost a year and i still cant figure out were the speaker is! its stupid the only good thing about it is its brand name.

  • the phone is ok but its complicated it freezes alot and yes the case scratches the screen. and the sad part is i bought it for $1200 and now i cant return it...

  • The "Prada" at the top of the screen is beginning to scratch off and it looks tacky, ive had this phone for 5 months, does anyone have this issue, how did u resolve it?

  • Hi all, I bought this phone 4 days ago and after one day wanted to throw it against a brick wall. It's impossible to hear, I have to have the phone on loudspeaker in order to hear the other caller. It's impossible to text with as well or press any buttons in general, I'm finding the touch screen incredibly unresponsive and quite often it goes into the wrong application (even when I've been sure to press the right button - eg pressing "Inbox" but the phone will open "sent items" which is the 5th option BELOW the "inbox". It is always freezing as well. I was warned (by the dealer) against buying this phone but went against his recommendation... advice: DON'T DO THIS! Do NOT buy this phone! Yes it's pretty but that's all it's good for... I have always had an LG phone & they're normally fantastic... I'd recommend to everyone to get the Viewty, not the Prada. If at all. thnx

  • To get into the Engineering Mode go to dialling and enter 2945#*# and press call key

  • omfg, the case scratchs my screen AND the date problem is annoying the crap out of me! DOES ANYONE have the silver edition?! I want to know if the silver edition gives the same problems. Thanks!

  • to pretty girl, already answered. what ru nuts? all acc included and in same colour. found silver ver. even slickerrrr..adorable!!

  • Date problem The general dump does not help, this the first that has been made

  • date problem The general dump does not help, this the first that has been made

  • To KaKB, Yes you have everything in that nicely packed black Prada box: a USB cable, a Prada software mini-CD, a charger (of course), a nice pair of earpieces, pieces of velvet "mop" to clean the screen and an LG microSD (256Mb). Actually, you can plug the phone to any Windows XP PC and don't need a software to transfer files (music, pictures, movies...), which makes life far easier. The phone behaves like any removable flash disk. The dealer certainly cheated on you. Xv from Madagascar

  • I've just bought a Prada. I doubted the capacities of LG phones. I've also written somewhere that most of the Korean and other brands from Asia don't care about accents when it comes to text messaging while many European languages use lots of vowels with accents. It was a nice surprise to see that this LG set has most of the characters u need. You can get them from the main keypad. Thank U so much LG. I'll be one of the LG addicts. A customer from Madagascar. PS. The local LG retailer here in Madagascar is very reliable!

  • Hey guys, about the date problem...it's an easy fix. You just have to take your phone to a GSM Service and give it a general reset. It takes about one minute. There you have it. PS: be sure to save all your data on your PC because with the reset all data on the phone will be erased. Hope this helped :)

  • r u kidding me mi seh does de damn fne cum wit usb cord n headphones??????????????????????????????????????­­

  • does anybody else not see a difference between the brightness modes?

  • hoW can you tell between the real prada phone and the fake one?!?! ive been told the fake one has an "ok" button on the sides.

  • Yes it is a very prety fone one of the best

  • will this phone have bad reception in canada? thanks in advance!

  • Hey im wanting to buy this phone but nowhere has a display and so i dont know how big the message text is, can someone tell me please. is it easy to read like bigger than normal i know its smaller than samsung but i dont know how much smaller...anyone?

  • that's weird cause i don't have any new texts and they say i have no voicemail but i still have that "sad face." to the other person: yes it does come with usb and headphone. to the other other person: date was not a problem for me. just fiddle around and it's solved.

  • LOL @ sad face. That's supposed to be a cassette from the old school answering machines. The sad face means you have a voicemail.

  • once again i ask, does de fne cum wit a USB cord n headfnes?????????????????????????????

  • i got the phone yesterday and i like it but when u asked about the unsmiley face it means voicemail if its smaller it means text that u have not read. oh yeah the phone is awesome but u cant hear loud enugh.plus i dont understand why the radio is so scrambled like when i try to do something it stops. but it the best phone i got

  • does the USB cord and the earpiece come with the phone?

  • hi. i bought the prada. i love it, so far it is amazing. i do have a question though, the instruction booklet does not say what the icons at the top mean. there is a sad face at the top of the screen and i'm wondering what that means

  • what kind of problems does this phone have? I heard the date problem is a real nuisance but other than that, there are no other reported problems i have heard of.

  • TO text is it touch screeen?? or u have a pen ?

  • Does anybody know where can i get/download an eglish manual. the phoe came only with Suomi/Dansk manual... cheers

  • Very nice phone, if you buy a quality screen protector, you can stop worrying about scratches. Navigation is easy and convenient. The phone is very stylish and functional. I have one and would recommend to anyone.

  • I've had this phone since last year November and I have absolutely no complaint. One of the best phones I've ever had, everyone says SMSing is hard, but after a week, I was texting as fast as any other phone. It's a fabulous and stunning phone, trust me guys you wont regret buying this phone. It's excellent. P.S-Samsung Armani is a cheap copy, it SERIOUSLY SUCKS.

  • hey just a heads up on the prada..from experience this phone has so much wrong with it,i work in carpone warehouse..im tellin u please dont get it, i have the viewty,its a class phone:)

  • This phone suck,the blue tooth is always drop when is in use.

  • in all honesty i luv this fone.... the fone does not scracth easy. i have had the fone since xmas day and i have not got one scratch on it. The fone get finger prints on it but der ITS TOUCH SCREEN. it comes with a cloth to clean the screen. the black leather case PREVENTS the scracthes and if ur not happy with the case use a fone sock. the date does have problems but mine seems to be fixed (well for time being ne ways) i sent my bak to get it fixed and it works. so NO COMPLAINTS from me. Id suggest BUY ONE u wont regret it

  • Hey guys u r confusing me, I really wnt to gt dis fne shud I? does everybody have a problem wit de date? Im shippin mine cuz i live in ja n i wnt a prefect fne nt one where i av to send it bak bcuz to fix it in jamaica is gna cost alot of money, to purchase this fne in ja is $56,000 so cn u igamine to fix it.

  • Oh... to add more.... the date was always wrong. It would switch from one date to another at 2pm in the afternoon instead of midnight??. I reprogrammed the date heaps and it still wouldn't work properly. The screen scratches really really easily. And the little leather case it comes with leaves scratches up and down the screen

  • I bought this phone and it sucked. The screen was always greasy, every time you push a button the one next to it was activated. Smsing and t9 texting was so FRUSTRATING stupid up and down arrows never went where you want. Trying to put a new t9 word in was difficult and painful. Trying to plug in the earphones was a pain as the weird little plug never wanted to go in. Overall, the Prada tried hard but the quality of control is just not there. Sure the cute butterfly or fish on the screen is interesting for a whole 2 minutes but after that.... this phone will just annoy the hell outta you.

  • this fone is awesome.... music player isnt as gud as the sony ericsson k800....my only 2 complaints is the LACK of memory..i bought a 2 g memory stick n thats right wat a shock IT DUN WORK. and the date gggrrrrrrrrr it annoys the SHYT outta me if ne body no's how ti fix this or wat size MC is compatible hit me back [email protected]

  • NO....i thought i had fixed the date problem... i took my fone back to the shop and they said they fixed it and worked for 2 wks now its back to changing all the time

  • i need to make a warranty exchange for my prada and lg says i need to go through the international department. is there any way i can get around this???

  • anyone manage to fix the date problem yet ?!

  • use the phone as second mobile since september 2007, honest I like it very much. just typing sms is a little slow compared to normal keyboard phones, but the mobile is really amazing

  • Greetings, this phone is great, does anyone know where i can download themes ?

  • You guys must feel real proud cause the price of this phone has remained high, lol. I have a viewty and i hope that the price remains high as well!

  • I got the phone fix from the store..but the date still wrong again after 1 day...!! ARG..this is insane..... I think it can takes up to 300 text msgs. conact pics have to be orignal from it's phone camera. or at the size of 480x480 or 320x480 . This is a pain!! I told the store and they won't fix this problem. music quality is good, can compare to sony. but it can not play as background when you play games or do other stuffs, you can't even look at your pics ect... It also stop itself when it reaches to the end of your playlist!!!......lots of bugs!! Same as the radio. can not do anything with the phone when listening to it. Sony errison can!!

  • Hello, I just got my prada phone and it's really nice, only thing when i look closely it has many dead pixels, is there anyway to fix this? Please help me. Thank you [email protected]

  • is that mean we can not use calendar and repeat alarm?!....that's not good!! btw Samsung D900 is way ugly

  • The way to fix the date problem is to delete all calender items and alarms you have set and then set the time format to 24 hour. If you rely on an alarm clock then you have to delete them and set new ones each time you want to use the alarm!

  • yucky, ugly phone... but good specs... Samsung D900 id better

  • restart your phone, might help for the date problem. But for me only last for 3 days. Then the date is one day late again. But I think for some ppl it will fix the date problem. good luck~

  • Yes Lu, the same thing happened to me after december 31...the date on my phone was 0 january...LOL! :-s...this comes to show you that LG did not have a calendar when they made the Prada :))...or...this is a magic phone that will gives you one day of life per year ;))...we can live FOREVER !!! :)) Anywayz...i would not like to send this phone to a service...it's too preety to become a frankenstein phone after the repair :D

  • A nice mobile, good sound quality but texting is really painful slow compared to normal keypad.

  • how u format to 14 hours time? there is no option.

  • i got this phone the other day and i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! its just the prettiest phone ever. if you are having the date problem try puttin your time format to 14 hour time insted of 12 hour time. after changing the format fix the date and the problem should be solved

  • do you guys think the price of the prada phone will drop even more with the release of the silver prada phone and when the ks20 is released, will this cause an even more significant price drop for the prada phone???

  • how is the music player... is it as good as SE?

  • Hi, I also have a problem with the date. It started on 31 December midnight, instead of changing to 1st January it went to Monday 0 (?) January.... . I can change the date 10.000 times per day but as soon as I answer a call, send/receive sms, etc it automatically goes to yesterday's date. HELP!!!!!

  • 4 Dan , u can get free games at www.mobile9.com

  • any fix on the date problem? :(

  • Does anyone send the phone back to serivce/repaire??? Are your problems solved? and how long it takes? why can't they test the phone carefully before it went out to public...arg...

  • does any one know where to get free games?

  • does any one know where i can get themes

  • I got the reply from LG. They told me to sent the unit to my cellular provider and sent in for service. (for the Date Problem!!)ARG..

  • Conclusion of review from GSMArena:- LG KE850 Prada is sophistication made simple.

  • The viewty is big & ugly compare to this Prada phone! This is the best looking phone ever, from LG, period.

  • the viewty is far better. its that simple.

  • We have the same problem with this phone:(

  • this phone sucks! it freezes up all the time and never does what you want it to. dont buy it just because it says Prada. I sold it after only 3 months!

  • Theme availability for LG Prada depends on LG. If they don't release a theme creation application for their phones, nobody will be able to create a theme. You can try to inform LG. More people report to them, they will take it in more consideration. Thx~~ and i am still waiting the answer for the DATE problem from LG.

  • Has anyone found out how to fix the date problem? After i came back from Switzerland and deactivated roaming the date always stays one day behind o_O...please send me and e-mail if you know something about this bug...and another thing...i hope some of the people from LG monitor these discussions because WE REALLY NEED THEMES !!! or maybe a theme creator...come on guys...this phone is becoming boring...

  • IU've got the same date prob which is really getting on my nerves, hope that if it is a bug from LG they patch it soon

  • does all the LG cellphone have only 1 year life. bcoz my frend told me that after 1 year,most LG phones become easily destroyed. does this apply to the prada phone also. and how much is this phone in hongkong today. i plan to buy it.

  • Does anyone get any problem with the Date on the Phone under the clock? After I play songs, the date shows one day late from the normal day. Is this a bug from LG or I can do something to fix it? Then what should I do?

  • Buy 2 batteries.. the best way

  • 3 Hours of talk time does not compensate for the price of the phone.

  • im thinking about purchasing this phone. does it have free wireless? i just have a regular t-mobile plan, and i dont know if i were to buy it and put in my sim card that everything would work and i still get wifi free and all. could be a really DUMB question

  • cool, now i found out how to use the usb or whatever. that's embarrassing. but how can i connect to the internet? it just keeps saying "check account settings" and i freakin checked the damn account settings. but then what? any help?

  • is it right that the vieuwty and this phone really look a like?? there looks a practicly the same..

  • Hi, I just bought this and the roaming icon always stays on, it's that normal?

  • Dalila, Press the speaker button ,you will get the dials back.

  • Hi I'm just wondering if I can send an sms to an email adress?!?

  • Yes.. agree...this is a nice and good phone..but the small functions compare to sony errison is not good. Like when you r listening to radio, you can not press any keys. And when you listening to music and want to make a call also, the music have to stop first, and replay the music yourself after finish the call ect.. little stuffs like that is not consider as good as sony errison. but as long as this phone is working not freezing!!...I still like this phone. :)

  • a good phone.but bad when compare to ks20

  • How do you set up the connection for tmobile to download the website that are sent to your text messages?

  • hi..anyone knows can i use mp3 ringtone as message alert for this phone? thx

  • can anybodyu help me... im really interested in this phone but i was wondering is it possibel to watch movies and videos on the phone? and is the sound quality good? and can you use songs as ringtones? i also herd that this phone has some problems with its memory card does anybody know why this happens?

  • please,tell me how can install the game on lag prada? tnx

  • you can set where to save your images or videos when you click on the screen whilst you take them.. then settings..then you have to choose.. there are a lot of icons.. just look at them... one is for the memory card, another is for the phone.. and so on...

  • 1. you can set where to save your images.. from settings 2. when you are in conversation.. you can click on the left hand side of the mobile.. where 'profiles' are.. then the keyborad will appear on the screen

  • Hey Guys; Have any one managed to use the keboard after initial number use. I mean if you are calling a number then automated service tells you to press 45 for example, how to do this in this Prada handset? I could not find a solution I wonder if any of you have managed? Thanks

  • works with alberta no problem got this phone in hongkong and using it in calgary with rogers sim card

  • exactly !!!! happy new year to everybody !!!!

  • Exceptionally Beautiful Handset with Grace of Tecnology

  • yes, you can do it.. but at first you have to save your contacts on your mobile, not your sim card.. and then.. there are options.. you will see.. you can an image to each contact... but.. dont forget that the image file should be not very big.. you can play.. i cant remember how big are mine...

  • hey guys, i've encountered only one problem with this phone..is it possible to set pics as "contact pics?" so wen a person calls u, u have a picture that appears on the screen? if anyone knows how to function this, please tell me how =] thanks once again! happy new year also.

  • Yes, You can :-)

  • i think that this phone is a copy to the iphone

  • i think taht this web page is great cause i didn't knowm were i can get information abuoyt some phones and i this page i could get it

  • I am sorry but i dont know where you can find themes for Prada.. I am too looking for them.. for ring tones as well.. To the question about the alarm - yes LG Prada has a perfect alarm :-)

  • Hi, is this phone has alarm?

  • mmm...i got this phone but i hav a question! can i downland some themes for the mp3 player that it has or just some themes? pls answer me!

  • hey Ediwitch can you tell me how to install a new themes on prada phone?

  • I would like to ask several questions: does anybody knows a free web site to download some ring tones? Can I change the size of the letters of the menu? - I would like to make them bigger.

  • Hi Domagoj, I am glad you resolved your problem.. but I wonder why dont you use the usb cable to transfer your files? I find it much easier. Thats why i dont need to take out the memory card every time when i transfer files... And in this way I charge my phone while I do the transfer as well

  • I also resolved my problem. I was searching the net and I found that people had the same problem and someone wrote how to solve it. If you have problems with your card - it is in but your phone says it isn't, and you have to format it but you can't - just put it in the adapter you got with it, put it in your laptop card reader and format it but the most important thing - when you put it into that adapter, don't lock it!!!! Everyone thinks that the lock thing on the side of the adapter is for securing the card in the adapter. But no, it's for protecting the content on the card so you can't do anything with it!! So don't lock it and you'll be able to format it and everything'll be ok. But the only thing is, my card is slower than before!

  • hi everybody, sending pics or any files to the computer with usb cable :-)) I resolved the problem with my videos... just bought 2GB memory card and the camcorder is able to save files straight to it.( although my old memory card (156MB) was 75% free, i was telling that memory is full. ... Now i dont have this problem with a bigger memory card :) I would say that i know a lot about LG Prada mobile phones... so dont hesitate to ask me. I will be happy if i help you.

  • To channy - usb or bluetooth it to the comp.

  • so i just got my prada ke850 a few days ago. and i basically get how to work everything. but how can i send the pictures i take to my computer? when i try to send a multimedia message it only allows me to send it to phone numbers or my contacts? and i'm sure there is a way to send it to my computer i just haven't figured it out, can anyone help?

  • No, I was transferring files from the phone to my computer (luckily cause if I didn't, all my pictures would be lost), then I did what I do every time when I disconnect a usb stick from computer - stop it, and disconnect when it says you can now safely remove hardwer. After that the icon on the top of the screen, which indicates the memo card is in, disappeared and now I can't do anything cause it says the card is not in - but it is. It's properly installed cause it worked all week and I didn't take it out till after this happened. I tried everything - I took it out, put it in the adapter for my laptop to read it in the card reader. It recognizes it but it says it needs to be formated but it cannot be formated cause it says its protected!! Can I remove the protection and format it? I hope that if I have to buy another card my prada wont "kill" that one too! Anybody? P.S. Merry Christmas all!

  • maybe ur memory card didnt put in properly? or u transfer too many files at one time? for me....my phone froze if i transfer too many files at a time...

  • I have a problem with my memory card. I bought it a week ago and it was ok, I was transferring pictures and music and suddenly the phone said the memory card is not inserted, all my pictures and music and data are lost. The computer said the memo card needs to be formated and it cannot format it because it's writte protected!!!! And now I can't do anything with it. I mean if it's gonna happen every week, what am I gonna do, buy a card every week!!!!???? Did the phone do something wrong or what???

  • merry xmas for everybody ! be happy!!!!

  • OMG...my phone froze again after transfer files from PC to my 2GB memory card!!! (I use SanDisk microSD/TransFlash Adapter 2GB)!!!....anyone has this problem too? Is it because of the memory card or the phone itself?!....

  • the image of the phone is outstanding but the feactures and the memory are disgracfull mine is going back to the shop im not happy. and the touch screen is sooo anoying, im not impresseed!!!!!!!

  • does anybody know where to get themes n apps for this phone, any responses wud be highly appreciated thanx simer

  • Almost all phones can record conversations, I mean most of my recent phones could. I even had it on one of my nokias 5 years ago. I had only nokias for last 11 years, and this is my first non nokia phone. It's a cool feature if you want to blackmail someone!!! He, he

  • Hi there, Now that I read about all the bugs , I think my problem is not so big.I wonder, if I change the software what will happen... maybe more bugs??? :-))))... and is it possible to change its software at all?? Other than that i found out a few tricks about this mobile phone... for example, you can make a voice record of your conversations with other people..

  • can't explain why... i like this phone, dont want it break or something......... now i was try to use the hands free...the music control buttons are not working!! arg.. only the send/end button is working.. what should i do????

  • thx Ediwitch for ur answer...i read the booklet, saying grayscale pics are not support to be a contact pic.. other than that i'm ok with the contact pic. I also find out that we can set mp3 as alarm clock :D... But I guess we Can NOT set mp3 as message alert??? can't find it anywhere. The phone was froze for hours after I transfer files from PC to the memery card. O.o....I can't even shut it down and just wait till the battery was dead then restart it again.....Also, when I was viewing the Slice show, the phone gave me a strange restart...>.

  • hi dear, I am happy to hear that:)))) if you need any other help, just ask me :) Unfortunately I cant resolve my problem :) .. It is strange because i can set the cam to save images on the memory card and i have no problem with it.. but i cant set the cam to save videos in the memory card .. actually , i does it.. but when i try to make a video, i am told 'memory full' ( and i can see it is full only 15%) :( Funny, isnt it ? ... And this makes me very angry :-))))

  • Hi Ediwitch, merry Christmas to you too. Thanks, you solved my problem, I just selected mass storage and the laptop shows 2 memories so now everything's ok. Did you solve yours? I tried again, I can make clips as long as I want and it saves it on external memory.

  • to be able to use pics for your contacts, you have to save them to the internal memory ( phone) and the size of the pics must be 640/480 or 320/240 ( i cant remember exactly. you can try)

  • I just got the phone...:D.........love it.....anyone know why not every pic can attach as contract pic? They are all the same..JPG format..is that anything to do with size or colors?? I already saved the phone# in the Phone memory. And can this phone set message alert and alarm clock alert using MP3 ringtone??

  • hi Domagoj, I wish you all the best for xmas :) If there is any other problem with ours Pradas :) we could share ti ... Dont forget to set the mobile to mass storage when you connect it with usb cable to your computer.. then.. your mobile will appear like removable disk ( you will see the both of them- your mobile phone and your memory card)They both have same folders : documents, sounds, images.... others..

  • hi again, :) i am from Bulgaria by the way:))) so.. you are right.. maybe there are a lot of softwares... bloody LG Prada.. but.. oh my.. i like it so very much... This is the easiest mobile phone that i have ever had... even typing short messages...:) I too dont know somebody that has this phone.. so i cant ask about these problems... Concerning your problem.. i really dont know why it is that... my usb cable works perfectly... did you set you mobile to mass storage?

  • I guess that our prada's aren't the same because we all have different problems. I can make videos as long as I want (depends how big the external memory card is - mine is 1 gb) after I choose the external memory for saving, but you said that you choose it but the phone doesn't let you more than the internal memory is (8 mb). Maybe we don't have the same software installed. I'm from Croatia and I don't have any friends that own prada so I can't ask them if they have the same problem as me. Maybe the software differs depending on countries. I tried everything. When I use usb cable I can only syncronise my calendar and contacts and my computer doesn't recognise my phone as a usb stick when I plug it in and it should so that doesn't work; and when I conect it with bluetooth the computer can only read the prada's internal memory!! It doesnt even recognise my external memo card. So I don't know what to do

  • Please owners of Prada, can anybody make video and save it straight to the memory card? ... because i am not allowed. I have to save it at first to the handset, then i can move it to the memory card. But internal memory is not big :(.. so i can only make short videos.. please tell me if somebody else has the same problem.

  • i forgot the site to buy phone. phone addicts.com or wireless does anyone remember?

  • hi, i am completely agree with you.. so was i .. when i decided to buy Prada, i had read many sites.. and i knew what i am going to buy - something quite new!!:)) and i am happy with my mobile.. Now i want to answer to you.. maybe you do something wrong , because i can upload files from my compute streight to the memory card.. there is no problem... But my problem is that when i set the mobile to save videos straight to the memory card( i am allowed to choose where to save them- card or phone) and trying to take video,i get a message that memory is full( but on the settings i can see that memory card is almost empty) Could you share your experiences about this subject please... try to do it as i did and tell me whether you succeed :) thank you in advance

  • I don't understand the people who talk bad about their phones. If you don't like it, sell it and buy yourself a different one. When I wanted to buy PRADA, I went on at least a dozen sites that show it's features and I knew what kind of a phone I was buying. I saw that the battery life was poor, that it freezes sometimes, that your fingers leave greasy fingerprints, that it's camera wasn't so good, that it doesn't have a wifi and so on. But I bought it because it's different from all the others and I always had phones that are different, and I like it a lot! I have a question though; I know that it has a 8 MB of internal memory and I can't transfer files on a memory card larger than that (because you have to put it first on multimedia memory and then transfer it on memo card), but if I can copy a file from a memory card to my laptop, why can't I copy from laptop to the card directly? It says the card is protected! Haw can I remove the protection so I can transfer directly from lap to memo card?

  • this handset is officially THE WORST PHONE ive ever used. Touch screen is useless for txt, battery life is truly pathetic (a day if im lucky) and ive had mine repaired 3 times now for the same software fault (freezing) what a pile of dog sh=t!

  • again the same... i have the option to save the videos in the external memory, but when i do it and try to make a video,i got a message: 'MEMORY FULL' . ... which is not true because the memory card is empty ...So, i am only available to make a video up to 8MB, the memory of the phone( internal memory). Does anybody has the same problem ??? please help me and share your experiences. Thank you in advance :-)

  • hello there, i have a problem .. when i make some video and the phone is set to save videos to the external memory, i am told that the memory is vull.. but in the settings it is shown that the memory card is empty .. Can anybody tell me whats the problem ?

  • :) I found how to record voice during a call.. That is realy nice thing...

  • I can't find how to record the voice during a call. Does any body can help with it??? Please! in manual I can read: "In No limit mode, you can record the voice as an MP3. But if you record the voice during a call or in multimedia msg mode it will be recorded as an AMR"

  • Hi..is this the real LG Prada looks like? On the right side of the handset, you can find the Lock/Unlock key and the MP3 player/Camera key. The volume dual-key and the speaker/profiles key are placed on the left side of the phone On the back of the phone, LG included another 2 Megapixel camera that features Schneider-Kreuznach lenses thx very much for ur respone....:)

  • Its a crap phone on the whole. Battery is its biggest weakness followed by a sometimes temprimental touch screen. Camera's pretty good but thats about it.

  • I've used many phones, and I honestly can say that this is the best I've used. Battery life indeed is poor, but other than that, all others is fantastic. I've seen many Prada phones, and I don't think it's supposed to have OK button on the side...all that's on the side are, Unlock, Camera, volume keys & profile keys. I LOVE this phone.

  • how can transfer sms in pc

  • the official website of Prada has no text at the back of the phone beside LG logo. Is anyone notice this?

  • also, at the back of LG Prada...some has LG's website under LG logo. Some with text under the camera. >.

  • i thought it supposes to have an ok button..and i do realize that the buttons on the left side of the LG Prada is slight different from site to site.. I dont know which pic is the real LG Prada anymore... can anymore show/tell me.........the real one.........arg...thx.... i was planing to buy it next week....

  • Is it real that LG Prada with Ok button on the side is Fake???!!

  • Itz a wicked phone compared 2 iphone wog1 u should have it

  • this phone is such a tarts phone i would never buy this i bet if it wasn't prada the phone would be worth nothing.

  • If you use it frequently you will need to charge it daily. It goes from full charge to one bar left pretty quickly, but that last bar does tend to last a long time!

  • do u mean to say that...v need to charge daily if we use it frequently??....how bout the talk time...does it hav a decent battery life? thanks

  • I normally charge mine daily, but it wont last more than two days with moderate use.

  • am planning to get this mobile in a weeks time...i hav heard dat..battery is poor n the charge goes off very soon n all.....is this info correct...if not..how long does it last...is it worth to get this mobile?? thanx

  • Holds more than 150 text + once memory (8mb) the phone tends to lag, highly advice buying the tomato flash 2G memory card..

  • i bought the phone about two months ago and it's so cool...but... nothing's perfect...battery life sucks...anywayz...the phone is great...iPhone is nothing compared to the Prada. Sure the iPhone has a lot of nice features...but in my opinion it will remain just a toy phone (it also looks like a toy phone). Oh, and does anyone know where can i get some themes? (if they exist of course)...hit me back pls.

  • It really depends what you want in your phone, if like me you want a fashionable phone to make calls and text, but still has good average features and very easy to use get the prada. The viewty has far better features, an amazing camera and video features but the main drawback in my opinion is it's much bigger than the viewty. If you can live with the size of it the viewty is a better phone.

  • i dont think it is flash based andrew

  • In reference to lagging, it not like samsung at all. My 1 gig card is full and it read stuff off of it faster than from its own memory.. weird. Also, guys, the first phone i owned that (so far) is flawless!!

  • The Prada phone is unresponsive to the touch of a stylus. However, the KS20 and Viewty are able to use one.

  • oulalallalala pradaaa *drools* this is an amazing phone. i just got it omggg i cant stop looking at it beats the iphone like 3249374589234795 times but can u get a pen instead of using ur fingers i see some pictures of teh phone theres a pen that comes with it ?? when can i get it

  • I own the Prada phone and live in Canada... The reception isn't bad at all. I wish it was a quad band though... The Prada phone is my first touchscreen phone and I love it!

  • i love this phone, it calls and texts great, the startup is fast and for someone who only needs to call/text/take occasion photo and video - its fantastic

  • why the price of this mobile is very high. It only has 2mp cam

  • for the owners, is the video playback ok?, can i watch an episode (20 mins) converted to any format that prada plays ok? i can`t get any information about video playback, thx

  • How many SMS does it hold?

  • does the phone start to "lag" once the memory card starts filling up?

  • Does anybody own the LG Prada that lives in Canada? What is the reception like? What service provider are you on?

  • hahaha cosycat.... try to operate it with your nose but put a screen protector on it.

  • this phone is great, pro and cons , sure as everything in life. but I like it

  • hi, i'd try to use the bluetooth to transfer sound but i can't and after all the pairing stuffs like that its doesn't do anything so i hope that your can help me out on that pls

  • Hi there, can you please tell me if the LG Prada phone has the facility to lock individual programs with PIN numbers, such as text messages and access to the Web. Many thanks.

  • today (1/12/07) i got my new prada phone, i was really looking forward to it, until i came to use it, being female & having fairly long finger nails, i couldn't use the touch screen very easily my nails kept getting in the way, so for me its quiet dissappointing.

  • For conference and other options. Make call to both the person you want to conference. And Press the Key Lock button to get the advanced in call options.

  • The features are not bad on this phone, they are your average mobile phone features, it's not a smart phone and doesn't pretend to be. It's a simple and very easy to use phone. And it's not hard to use at all. It does take time to get used to the touch screen, especially when texting but after two weeks of having this phone I text just as fast as I used to with a normal keypad. If your worried about scratching buy an Invisable Shield like I did, very thin stick on membrane, covers the whole front and back and you can only notice it's there if you look very closely. I keep my phone in my pocket with a bunch of keys and never get a mark. If you want the same style with more features then get the KS20 which should be out soon as that's a proper smart phone. There's no point slagging a phone off because it doesn't have every gadget under the sun on it, not everybody wants all that!

  • my mum has it!! is very hard to use!! u have to be very patient!

  • Great phone! Very simple to use, and wonderful touchscreen interface. Have never had a problem with it. To the people who whine about it getting scratched, get a life! Seriously, every phone on the market is susceptible to scratches. Just look at the iPod. I have 2 and they are scratched to hell. The truth is this phone is tough as nails. I have dropped it so many times and it even fell out of my pocket and hit the sidewalk while running down the street. Just a couple of scratches. To the person who said the prada peels off. You must of bought a fake prada phone cause it is embedded in the plastic or something. I have tried scratching at mine. It would take a nail file to get it off. To everyone out there who keeps whining about it not having this or that. Give me a break you seriously need to get a life. Not every phone is made the same. Not every phone has wifi, gps, or every other thing that is not needed on this phone. If you want that stuff then go buy a phone with that stuff on it. I own many other phones, including some of the latest windows phones. When I am working and need to be productive I use them. If I just want a cool phone for the day I use my prada phone. Its that simple people. If you want a phone that dosen't scratch then but a latex glove around your phone. The fact is if you are going to go out and drop $400 to $600 on a phone go do some research on it, go play around with it at the store. Ask questions, does it have what I want, or what I need? I'm sure if you were buying a new TV, or car you would do that.

  • 'if it is all touch screen how do you text???????????????????????????' That wins the prize for the dumbest question of the day! Err, it's all in the name 'touch screen'!! Muppet!

  • Does the Prada have the same scroll function as the Viewty and iPhone? Or do you have to use the annoying side scroll bar?

  • I got the Prada phone yesterday and it is amazing. I though it was going to be really difficult to use becasue of the touch screen, but it's not as bad as you may think...I got the hang of it in minutes and I am not a tech friendly kind of person. The design is fab and it's light...the menus are very easy to use and simple...all in all a great phone!! YOu will not be dissapointed!

  • if it is all touch screen how do you text???????????????????????????

  • Hi guys can anyone tell me how to use conference call in this prada set? also where to download themes thanks in advance

  • This phone reminds me of those pocket calculators with a cover! Quite dissapointed by PRADA!!!!

  • Sorry gsmarena but it can't play aac.Not only this, mp4 audio format is recognised as mp4 video format.So only mp3's can be played in the mp3 player.

  • at the actual price ( dropped almost 50% now) for sure a mobile to look at. Very nice designed and good quality mobile, easy to use and special. Nice

  • use this for 4 months as second mobile, very good toy. Really like it

  • I love this phone but have had nothing but troubles with it up to my third one in four months!!!! it never realises im trying to make a call it doesnt ring wish it was better!! really dissapointed

  • if only it came in that signature prada red colour,,,, YUMMMMMM!!!!!

  • Fantastic phone, really happy with it...very impressed with the userbility. only thing im still getting used to is the messaging part, bit tricky being that they are touch buttons and not button buttons

  • I have it for 5 months, its just great , stylish and working great , highly recommended

  • Is there like a hold button so that even though you touch the screen, nothing will happen!? Kinda like the iPod nanos

  • Just a quick question.. not sure if anyone else has this problem but when in a conference call there is a continuous beeping sound which always interrupts the call. Is there a way to make this stop???

  • I have bought this phone, couple of issues: Does it have Loudspeaker option With recorded messages to retrieve voice messages how do you go back to the key pad without losing the call. Can you change the order of options in the menu?

  • I bought this phone about 4 months ago, I haven't got any problem at all. The battery lasts about 4 days, the software works well on my XP, the music is loud enough. I did find the response a bit slow sometime, but I guess it's because of the temperature is too high in my car. Overall, it's a great phone and the best I have so far.

  • i love this phone! the size is really comfortable! anyway, anyone would know why i have a sad smiley face in the middle on the top? i tried everything but i still can't get rid of it. thanks!

  • For the battery, if the size fits, you could try, it wouldn't be longer but might be quicker . This battery doesn't have memory, which means the first time overnight charging rule wouldn't apply.

  • is it any good?

  • this phone is too cheap for me

  • I plan on buyin this phone. but i would first like to know how loud the music is on it.

  • how is the sound on this phone.. because i plan on buyin one

  • i baught this phone and its great!!!! no problems at all!

  • Original batery is Li-Ion 800 mAh, what will happen if you change it with Li-Ion 1000 mAh? Will that provide more hours on stand by and call time or not , and how will that afect on software. thx for the answer

  • the soft is crap and does not even work on xp how stupid for such a rip off phone

  • The whole problem with slow response: I found it that when you first "unlock" the keypad from it being "asleep", is when it's slow; you have to wait till it adjusts the time, that's how I go by, because then everything processes quick. I came to love this phone, it was the best phone in terms of usability (for me) and I loved the touch screen. Camera is brilliant too, compared to most of the Nokia's in its range, though I must say Sony Ericsson is still best at pics.

  • Hi i love the phone but im having trouble buying games for it as 02 has only one game please help if any one can and my phone is an unlocked one if that helps. :0

  • Yes, you can have a handstrap. Sms is not that hard at all, takes around 1 day to get used to, seriously.

  • well i think prada is kinda like nice, av been down with it for some months now and am really loving it, to think it reads documents is something outstanding and the sound quality is wow, am not sure i will have to change my fone for the next 6months or something, nice job lg,nice fone prada. if u think this fone aint tight, u need a doctor.(laffs)

  • yes it has a strap and yes it is an amzing phone...but dont buy it unless it goes for $450

  • Well i have few issues with this phone and so i would like to ask lg prada owners to pleas answer me few questions, i played a bit with the prada in a mobile phone and it was really imbaresing how for the sales girl that much for the lg all so , the problem was that the phone was unlocekd i repeat unlocked and it didn't want to respond to my touch commands on the screen,the sales girl reseted the phone and turned it on and off few times and it was just lame the i needed to click few times everything to preform the thing, and the animation betwean applications and when you click on the right side icons to go from page to page for options it was really slow, is prada really slow thats my question and please tell me ow is your pradas screen responding??? how often it doesent want to respond to your first touch on a cmmand so you have to click again and againg,thank you!

  • does it have a slot for a hand strap?

  • Does this phone have a gps?

  • hi.. is this a good phone ?? is it easy to sms whit this phone?

  • what is the difference of the KE850 and KE850A ?

  • why does the prada on this site look different from the usual prada that we see? (look at the back part of the phone) the lens is on the other side and the battery cover seems to be different.

  • This phone will not sync with Windows Vista!!! It is stated in the instruction booklet. Obviously people don't reads manual and then claim that it doesn't work and blah blah blah. I am considering this phone in my list now . . but i am scepticle about the battery life, ring volume, customise sms ringtone and most importantly the user friendliness of sms'ing (i understd this is subjective as it got to do with the build of your fingers . . fat ingers is out for this phone) . . . Commentz please . . .

  • the SDIO WIFI card is it normal size SD or microSD if it is normal size you can`t.

  • is it a calculator

  • can u put the SDIO WiFi card in this phone and get wlan? anyone knows?

  • hi , my LG PRADA mobile is completely out of charge and it is dead.i am trying to recharge it and i am not able to do so.its a new piece,hardly 3 months old and has no problems at all.can any one suggest me what to do?

  • if you think you can't sync the phone with the comp ya'll are not reading the manual

  • How about getting a LCD Film protector? You won't have any marks or finger prints PLUS you will protect your LCD screen from any potential scratches? With few dollars you can solve your problem.

  • I have had this phone for over a month now and i like the phone however the major issue is the case it has put marks and scratches all over the screen making it really annoying for me because i hate having marks on the screen at any time let alone scratches. LG's support is useless and they say because it's not a fault with the phone it's not covered under warranty.

  • This phone is next to impossible to sync with the PC!

  • the phone look is very nice. but i am not happy with few function not there say WLAN, 3G, & GPS. which would have made the phone great with good sell with these fuctions

  • I have bought recently LG Prada. I like it so much it is very sensitive just like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. haha ha aha ha.

  • 2 james thank u its the best opinion from ever/ even better than russian /

  • This is a nice looking phone with a very unique 3" screen. It is easy to use with simple & easy to undestand icons & interface. Reception is strong with loud & clear voice. Camera/video quality is good with only 2MP. Battery life good even for heavy user like me! Another unique thing is the low battery warning; which warn you way ahead before your phone turn off completely...unlike other brands(namely Nokia/Motorola/Samsung).

  • its a chicks phone, its got the same features as a mobile phone released in 2006 and its design is boring and uninspired. Honestly i dont understand why prada would want to put their name on a phone like this. It feels cheap and gets even cheaper with usage. Prada really should have thought twice before applying their name, what they should have done is ask Nokia for some unique designs as Nokia does have the capacity to design unique designer style phones AND mabye apply some leather into the phone with the Prada name embedded into the skin, more quality is needed, this phone has no direction and if it had no "Prada" on it, no obvious target consumers.get with it Prada. LG just dont make quality phones.

  • Why do some people post misleading information?! This phone has got very strong reception, stronger reception as compared to my Moto A1200/K1; SE W880/T650/W910; Nokia 6120c/6500c! A lot of b**l s**t from these people who got nothing better to do!

  • It is very good but the messaging keeps freezing itss sooo annoyin! =[

  • I just love the prada, dont care what it costs, or what i have to do to have it. Wink, wink. Love the touch screen, its so great. and the camera great for home movies. I've got 2 just in case i need a back up. Anyone who doesn't like it are just plain jealous.

  • no wlan.. wtf?

  • This phone has many problems.. 1) Poor reception compared to my other very basic pay as you go Orange phone - it is on the same network in the UK 2) Cannot read screen in daylight 3) Touch screen is not accurate rather touch and hope 4) will not work with a stylus just a finger 5) Menu scructure is poor and does not follow logic of what you want to do 6) If I had to of paid for this phone then honestly i would ask for my money back - Nick UK

  • I think the prada phone is good. Yes, it can be a bit anoying and yes its for the name but as prevesly said it has good fetures. If you conpere it to other phones, one or two will be better but thats like any phone. I have had the phone and i do not have any scrathes on it and i use the case ...... so mabye its the way you take the phone out of the case that damages it.

  • Just buy a new one? Some people have more money than brains...... You have my sympathy

  • Awsome phone love it!! and yes i bought it cause it had prada on it but not just for that so i must be a bimbo then to. This phone rocks awsome camara and great features love the games!! X

  • I'll get a new one if it won't work anymore, simple.

  • @ person below me Who cares if its LG? Hunni LG make BAD phones. Do your research. If you want to look cool cos you have a "touch screen Prada phone" then go right ahead. But dont come back here complaining when PRADA rubs off and the screen is so scratched it wont work anymore

  • The interface & 3" screen is very positive in such a small packadge ... who care if this is Prada or LG or whatever!

  • I really dont understand the hype, boring looks, boring features and who cares if its prada? Its still an LG. No thanks!

  • Does this sound like someone you know? "Like oh my god this phone is so totally cool like it says Prada and stuff, like oh my god! And its a totally cool touch screen like wow thats so totally cool... Did i mention it says Prada?" If you answered yes then please slap them now then inform them that this phone, even though it says Prada (which will eventually rub off anyway) is not worth the money. It has very little features and just an average camera. If you want a phone that says "Prada" come to me and i will write it on your phone free of charge.

  • have downs soud e downs memory

  • does anyone know if the leather case is meant to have a felt material inside as well? i've just bought this phone and am worried that i've got one of the dodgy cases which scratch.. thanks!

  • Used it for a day (does not belong to me). 1) Back of the phone has scratches, inflicted prior to my use as the owner used the original cover. Yes, it scratches the back. 2) Touch screen. Annoying. Some of us with bigger hands or flatter finger surface will have nightmare trying to key in numbers quickly. 3) Stability of the program. The original owner has said the phone has jammed or lagged on occasion. 4) My personal bias. I have had 2 LG phones in the past and neither of them impressed me in the least. LG is a mass conglomerate that produces everything from a washing machine and fridge to a phone. Nokia only makes phones and phone related items; think about it... 5) Style and substance. Carrying this around instead of my usual phones (oldschool 8810 and Sirocco), I didn't think this was overly impressive. It feels like a sleek but weaker version of the iPhone. It is also relatively common for a posh phone as it is quite cheap. My opinion of this phone is, it is a step up for gadget kids, bringing them one step close to appreciating finer things in life but this phone is still a gadget toy in essence but with a pretty housing and an alter ego of PRADA. It is still an LG.

  • this is a beauty, simple phone, with very good reception and very good sound while making calls. indeed, do not use the case provided, the leather is too hard and scratch the phone

  • i love this phone its only a posers phone if you get it for its look and nothing else...but it comes with everything a phone should have. a phone is only a phone, hate people who expect a phone to fly them to the moon and back.

  • Yes the CASE SCRATCHES THE PHONE!!! i thought so my self like why wood they give it if it scratches it so i used for one day and i got a HUGE sracth on the back and several others by only sliding the fone in and out its horrible i wish i could SUE the prada company those cheapskates !!!! lukly i havea screen protector for the front .

  • I have a prada fone it looks good, eleigant and sleek, and thats about it, the features are not so good ive had it for 3 months and now am looking to sell it, am just bored of it.

  • i just cant understand y r people comparing dis with iphone.........both iphone and prada r different phones prada is more for fashion oriented people .........n bsides i like prada a lot it has all d features required in a cell it has a decent camera a decent mp3 player n ya love watchin movies on its 3 inch screen also d accesories dat came along r better than expected bsides i don like one thing in iphone u cant forward mssgs n also it doesnt have send to many option apart 4m dat even iphone is a better phone ............people who r criticisng prada over iphone r basically those iphone owners who don know anything about prada n r giving useless statements

  • Look, all of the ladies wants to get this phone because its got "PRADA" written on it, seriously there are a lot better phone's on the market that can do more feature's that "Bluetooth, Video & Camera", if you think this is good, I think your just looking at it cause of the lable attached to it, this is very similar to the "Versace" Phone, I bet a lot of people think that's a very excellent phone aswell..cause its got Versace on it.,

  • I think the prada is a cheap knock off of a good idea Apple had. Compair the specs, and you can plainly see that this LG phone is like the cheap alternatives to everyday things that are sold at wal-mart, i.e. "Mainstays" and the ultra cheap "equate" items.

  • I just got the Prada and cannot seem to access the memory card. can someone advise me how to? thanks

  • been reading on some opinions, kinda sketch about the whole Prada case, scratching and damaging the phone... is this true? and why would they even provide a case that damages the phone... and the touchscreen, does it sense heat or pressure? cause i wanna get a phone screeen protector. thanks

  • forgot to mention that due to the sexiness of the lg prada phone, it is a very nice phone for the ladies any man seen with one is a definite batty boy

  • a poser's phone really... style over substance not as good as the iphone or sony ericsson w960i (which i have) on my w960i, I have installed over 20 different applications including tomtom mobile, i have 8 GB of memory, a very decent battery, 3.2 mp camera, 3G, etc etc like i said, lg prada is simply a poser's phone (mutton dressed as lamb)

  • The iphone is so big and ugly looking...how could anyone compare it to this beauty!

  • hello, well i htink this phone is incredible it has bluetooth, video, camera and a USB port this is the ultimate phone i am getting this phone and i am a girl with high standards i wouldnt be getting this phone if it wasnt the best and lastest phone out. p.s its a touchscreen now thats what you call class good-bye

  • i say that lg prada its only for the rich people to say look i have money and what;;;but i think that it is a really good phone afterall i will buy itt jajaja!!!!!!!

  • iphone blows, no flash for camera, no video....high tech phone without the basics? lol ill take the prada!!!!!

  • Umm... for starters I have and iphone and the other day i caught a glance of this phone on the internet. I just whatched the video on in off this site, and i can honestly say the iphone it 20x better than this one.

  • prada is so sexy lol i would die to trade in my u700 for it i got my u700 for 2 weeks and i was loving it untill i saw prada lol

  • Just got this phone 2 days ago .. loving every momment of it .. althought i wish everything was multitap liek iphone. BEST PHONE BETTER THAN IPHONE!!!! RECOMMEND IT !! the the headphones are outragiously good and the accesories BUT BUT BUT the prada case is horrible easy to scratch ur phone and crack it like my freind has if in pocket with case .

  • This Phone is only $699AUD at ALLPHONES stores in Australia. Can anyone beat it???

  • Just so everyone knows, the actual writing on the front of the phone that says Prada, peels off after 4-6 weeks of ordinary use. Avoid this by coating it in thin layer of Nail Varnish. Alternatively, just buy a proper phone, and don't waste your time on this exuberant statement of your personal monetary status

  • hi, was just wondering can i use mp3 for the message tones other then the ringtones? cheers

  • I'm currently deciding whether or not to get this phone I live in the US. At the moment I have a contract with cigular/ATT. Is this phone really THAT horrible with the ATT as people have said?

  • Hey, i was just wondering if this is a slide phone? Im looking to buy one. very excited. email me back plz ppl. xxx

  • on the prada phone. Do u have one ur self? -Can u password protect messages? -Can u set ur mp3 as a ring tone? -is it good and easy to work? Please write back. Thanks heaps.

  • Shazor, the ones with the OK button is FAKE (ie. the theme will be 'black theme' not 'prada theme') the one with the speaker icon is REAL! :) you'll notice the clock on the 'black theme' looks really crap

  • can you set your own ringtones? and i think you can set to lock the screen, kinda like bar phones, but im not sure. and wht if i hve a 'rogers' sim card, will it still not work? haah. i dunt hve the phne, but i really want it.

  • just wanted to know if the keypad/touchscreen sounds can be turned off or if is permantly on?

  • I cannot get my Prada phone to sync with my computer which uses Windows Vista. Has anyone got a solution to this? Any help would be appreciated.

  • i have had this phone for a week now and i love it! i upgraded from a sony z610 to the prada, so it took a little to get used to with typing a msg but now its fine. phone looks awesome and i find it easy to use battery could do with being a little stronger but other than that i think the phone is awesome!

  • nessa! it depends on how u are downloading, if copying from pc, pc opens two removable drives, one of them is your phones memory other is card memory, just check memory size in properties of removable drive

  • used it for about 5 min...awful. not very user friendly @ all. god forbid ladies using it have nails as u need to touch with ur skin to make it work...and bad luck 4 any one with bigger fingers. design is stunning but user interface is a bit small and way 2 compact

  • Hey guys, i am asking my boyfriend to get me this for my the holidays and i wanted to know if you could do bluetooth file transfer and also if you could set your own ringtones? i know that sounds stupid but many touch screen phones can't do that. oh and is anyone having issues with it getting scratched up or just breaking. And does it have speaker phone

  • phone is great....only one problem.........battery life...stinks Can anyone tell me how to activate the speaker phone?

  • Hi gsmarena-friends! Could you tell me if it is possible to buy an original LG Prada wrist strap? It is not easy to find something that fits such a nice phone well?

  • DON'T get it if u have at&t.

  • still fantastic feeling to operate the phone, even after two months of use

  • got it!! love it!!

  • hi guys i've done quite alot of internet research on this phone and i've discovered that there are actually TWO VERSIONS OF THIS PHONE. Some people call the second version the 'FAKE' version which might be true so all you people who are experiencing weird problems like call divert to message bank after 3 rings, it may be because you have the 'FAKE' version of this phone. So you should check. On the side of your lg prada, there should be a speaker button rather than an 'OK' button. The 'real' version has a speaker and NOT an 'OK' button. If your phone has an 'OK' button, i think you have the 'FAKE' version.

  • i got this phone like 4 days ago, its really nicer than i thought itd be, and much smaller which is better b/c its more convinent.. but i wondering how in the hell do i connect to the web?? i have no idea how to do so.. someone please help me~~

  • dont get the u700 its boring, anyway samsung diont have a long life. they always bust after a year!

  • the sim card icon is to show you have the extra memory card inside the phone, thatis it really.

  • hi your contacts have to be added in the phone in order to set the contact image..with sim contacts you can't do anything. copy all to phone. also does anyone know the setting for wallpaper as portrait ..and not landscape always. thanks

  • i use t-mobile with this service and i do not have any tzones or access to internet. is there a way to make a one time connection to download things such as games or ringtones for this phone? i am clueless in this area. much appreciated

  • After all these months, this is still a very nice phone in terms of looks & usability.....which also include good sound quality & strong reception. Well done LG.....with this Prada.

  • Oh my god,this D&G phone is the best cuz its got the brand name on it, oh wait..my bad wrong phone..I meant to say that this Prada phone is the best, who cares about the manufacturer, its good cuz its a prada, goes with my bag.

  • guys.. honestly..i don't trust lg's reception at all. i am on cingular network in US. please tell me whoever has used this on cingular..does it get good reception? thanks

  • @lee: yea i know.. i moved the music file each time I received through bluetooth to the external memory.. but it still says "memory full".. i have no idea..but thanks though

  • I bought this phone last month and i�m still impressed, its stylish, cool, lots of features and also small. By what i know until now it can�t be sync with outlook(it has its own contact, settings, etc manager. The only bad thing i can say about this phone is about its poor battery life, if you use hardcore the battery can barely survive 2 days.

  • Does anyone know how to attach photos to the contacts in the phone? It seems like I can only attach photos taken by the phone and not those photos that were transferred into the phone.

  • this cell phone is exquisit// and for many ways a perfect desing

  • guys check the armani phone and stop buying prada...

  • Hey people, does anyone know how to send music and videos straight to the memory card inside the phone instead of sending to the phone memory and then having to move mp3's or vidoes to 'external', the memory card. Answers ASAP plz Thx

  • Another Nighmare begining...

  • It's the memory card icon.

  • since i have had the phone, i have a sim card icon display at the top. Is this normal? and no my nubers are not stored on the sim card. Tried that one alread. Really annoying not knowing what the icon is there for, as its not in the book either

  • This phone looks quite promising- especially with the added plus of 30 fps video recording and all the expected bells and whistles of an updated phone. this phone will be available for sale in october through optus- free on a 79 cap plan or above.

  • Super Model phone:)

  • Can the LG Prada sync with microsoft outlook for contacts and calender for Windows XP?

  • Ive had this phone for a couple of months now. Very stylish and easy to use. My only bug bear being when texting you have to push the screen hard for the letters to appear and it makes my rm ache!

  • Can someone please tell me whether this phone can support MSN or not?

  • For those of you own LG PRADA, How do I clear "Recent Messages' history?" from the text messaging. it doesnt seem to go away. and I don't know how to clear it. It goes away later in time by itself but I rather clear the history who I texted...for a personal reason... :) help me. thanks

  • It would be nicer if the touchscreen is made from non-scratch material. This phone is a fingerprint magnet!

  • Yes, they have this phone for sale in Shenzhen, China.....BUT without factory warranty cause it's not official(or else it will be available for sale in all major cities in China, and not just Shenzhen!)......just like those grey market ones you mentioned that is selling in some small shops in Hong Kong. I would never recommand anyone to buy a grey market phone without warranty!!! So, please do not mislead readers!

  • Phone is sold in mainland China too. all Shenzhen shops offer the mobile on prices between 4800 and 5680 RMB. In HK the mobile can be bought at 3000 HK$ ( no warranty ) 4800 with warranty

  • JOKO, This Prada phone is a very nice looking piece of communication art. It's not a complicated phone; but one that is simple & easy to use. Battery life & especially talk time is much longer than I had expected(I'm a heavy user!). The sound quality is loud and clear. Build quality is good & most important the screen is big & clear. Yes, this is not a complicated phone but it is fun to use/play with......music player & camera/video, if not of top spec., is still very acceptable for me. Typing SMS is easy too. What more do you ask for in a "phone"?.....except maybe 3G compatable?! Mainland China do not sell this phone, but you can buy it from Hong Kong, China. JOKO, I can assure you that you will have no regret buying this outstanding phone. After months of using/owning this phone, I'm still enjoying it. Hope you will have fun when you get yours, ENJOY!

  • Attn: JOKO Prada is available in Aus. I am not in any way promoting this phone since it is liiterally a looks only phone. Anyone who buys it for features should be tied up and beaten. Good luck getting this phone to last you through one day of use.

  • Hey people is this phone worth buying cause im thinking about it. my friend is going to china and mite get me one will it work in Australia and couls some one plz anawer asap also is it good? THNKS JOKO d[-_-]b

  • For the loudspeaker function, press the unlock button on the side when you got connected. A loud speaker icon will show up at the botton centre of the screen. Press the loudspeaker icon to activate the function...

  • I'm Brazilian and i love this phone too !!!!! MICFRANCE !!!!!! hehehehehe

  • I got mine 2 days ago and phone is great. the leather case doesn't really scratch the screen if you slide in carefully. texting is really easy, options and features are pretty much straight foward nothing hard or confusing. i found 2 bad things. 1. finger prints on screen as well as back side. it really annoys me, everytime i use or hold the phone i have to wipe it with cloth before putting it back in because of finger prints, looks messy. 2. i don't know if there is loud speaker option, but when having conversation inside bus, the voice is not loud enough for you to hear it. my old phone, samsung d500 had this loud speaker function, if you press it, it gets reallllly loud u can even hear 1 meter away from the phone. lg prada lacks it. maybe there is loud fuction but haven't figured it out. (i already tried setting up volume the higest, still not loud enough sometimes)

  • i love that phone!!!

  • i love this phone its fashionable...ha ha

  • you need a while to adapt you to this mobile, but it is pure fun to use it. really like it

  • Can anyone tell me how the send images from my computer to the prada. I have windows vista and i think it doesnt support the LG sync program? Otherwise its a great phone

Does anyone have any opinions theyd like to share??is texting easy for example??anything missing features wise?? just giv me n email...any opinions wud be great id love it if you could help me out.thnx

  • I just changed my phone to Prada...I really like this phone so far...but I have big problem...with calling to somebody...I'm fine to hear but everybody complains that my voice is really weak and quality also poor...they hear too much noise when I'm talking to them...is there any solution for this?...I really need help...

  • you cant transfer music straight to the memory card. you just need to move you files from the phone memory over. then you will have room to recieve bluetooth files, hope that helps, lee x

  • you can keep loads of text i have 200 in outbox and 200 in inbox.

  • this phone is fab. I change my phone every six months cause I get bored. But with this phone I dont feel like that.its amazing. It takes time to get use to the touch screen but when you do its fab. I think everything is fab on it.By the way, You can change the text size anytime by pressing the hash key.

  • does anyone know how to transfer music files directly to external memory?.. I have 2gb memory card, but whenever I want to send files through bluetooth.. it always says "memory full".. please help me.. thanks!

  • Chris, "i read that having a plastic on the touch screen may lessing the sensitivity of the touch."....CORRECT i just got mine today, and its a sweet phone!....I THINK SO TOO ohh yah btw, does the screen scratch easy?....IT'S MADE OF PLASTIC, SO HANDLE WITH CARE

  • im just wondering has anybody used a screen protector on it yet? i read that having a plastic on the touch screen may lessing the sensitivity of the touch. i just got mine today, and its a sweet phone! ohh yah btw, does the screen scratch easy? thanks

  • Is there anybody knows how can set this phone to use mobile internet with T-Mobile...

  • Im thinking of getting one of these phones, i was just wondering if you set your own ring tone is it still quiet soft?? or is it just the default ring tones??

  • When using the Prada phone whilst in a call to you can use the virtual keypad by pressing the 'profile' key which is on the side of the handset beneath the volume keys. Once pressed it will display your virtual keypad! MPT

  • Would you check your Prada Phone to the phenomenom like below which was occured at LG KE850 phone and write your opinion here. I want to know whether it's phone problem or the phone was designed and made like this from the manufacturer. **************************************** When using mp3 player function, As fast-forward button (which is on the remote control earphone and on the phone�s touch screen) is pressed at the time when the LCD backlight is turned off the phone displays corrupted error messages such as �Nan�, �undefined� and always plays the first song that is in the playlist. This happens only when the �shuffle� setting is turned on. ***************************************** Thanks for your time.

  • my screen is not turning off when you have a call.

  • Question: when having a phone call, i noticed the screen turns off so you don't have to worry about pressing other buttons. but what if you are calling voice mail, how can you press password, or even automated machines where you have to put extension what do i do???

  • who is the girl in the photo?????????????????

  • Think it must be clear, Prada and Luna are not targetting the market looking for functions. Prada is a design phone made to be seen and to make calls. Two things it does very well.I use the prada as second phone on top of my Nokia E65 who is used for business issues. very happy with the Prada, like to play with it (btw, very happy with the E65 as well)

  • Raina, If you want a lot of features in a phone, why didn't you buy a Nokia N95 in the first place for about the same money???!!!

  • Is anyone using the LG Prada on the T-Mobile USA network? Any comments? Thanks!

  • hey ppl, can someone tell me how to downlaod good mp3 songs and where to get them from? i got some through bluetooth, sound is horrible i cant even hear it while ringing!!!

  • I was so excited when I bought it, its so classy and elegant but getting to know it more and looking at the features, i was shocked V. ordinary features and less specifications than any other mobile for this amount of money!!

  • when typing sms with T9, how can you insert a word starting with a capital in the middle of a text, ex a name of someone. really hard to do, there must be a way I still didn�t found. thx

  • Now available in Australia unlocked for just $655!!!

  • YAAY! my phone finally arrived and i loove it! everything is perfect! :) haha... texting is sooo easy! :P (well i think it is :D..) if u want a classy,sexy and beautifull phone, then u gotta buy this!

  • Can not find next information, how many sms can you store on this mobile. I am used to keep a lot of sms in the mobile

  • omg...mines on the way! can't waiiit! :) i was supposed to get yesterday but it hadn't come yet so it'll prob be here on monay! :D woop woop i loooove this phone!

  • Think you need to see this mobile as a real gadget, as something special. If you have a family, wife, 3 beautiful daughters, 2 fantastic dogs and a good job. make a lot of money and finally you decide to buy a Ferrari car. Will you complain the dogs do not fit in the car together with the wife and the daughters ? No. So also do not complain there is no 3G, texting is a little different...... This is something special, if you make a lot of business calls you may need a second phone to handle fast calls and mails. But, one thing is sure, it is a pleasure to use the mobile

  • Is this a good phone? yes, depend what you expect from a phone, but it is ok could any1 tell if its fast or slow fast enough for a mobile or easy to use e.t.c please;) very very very easy, no manual needed to handle this mobile

  • Is this a good phone? Iam thinking of gettin it could any1 tell if its fast or slow or easy to use e.t.c please;)

  • this phone is a waste of time it dont even have WiFi.

  • I own the phone. There are three issues with it: 1) the software is crap. If it had really good software, I'd love it. There is no dedicated web page for this particular phone either (to download games, extra software, ringtones, etc). 2) texting? Forget it. It's a royal pain. Better if there was an optional Qwerty. 3) it's not really a "business" phone (contact information for store numbers is lacking vital input options). And lastly, I can't get it to sync with my PC, which is a huge problem. Other than these things, I love it. Oh, using it in broad daylight is not the best - hard to see the screen.

  • Indeed, texting is a little slow. I have this phone only 4 days.For sure not to compare with E serie Nokia or advanced pda. But beautiful, light, nice to play and a verry good sound quality when making calls. I also tested the e-mail client, works fine, however just as writing sms, the phone is a little slower as phones with normal keyboard. This phone is a gadget,but a nice and good working one.It is not the phone you need in a stressy business situation but it gives you a nice feeling why playing with it in bus, train, bar ,beach , or wherever. Something special to use in a special way.I payed 370 euro for it, after all not bad for that mobile.

  • Well, it looks cool, but a bit slow on the touch screen here and there. For example texting on this toy, sms :) is a bit slow giving you a little stress if you were a nokia communicator addict. Head to tail is a nice phone, hope soon they will bring up some new software themes etc etc. As a "toy" is dam nice so far this new family "touch screen" has a pretty nice new kid :)

  • Can someone please let me know how is the signal on this phone? In Canada, GSM is 850 so how good is the strength? IF someone from Canada has it, please let me know.

  • micheal, forgot something. More important than what people thinking. this phone is really fun, believe me

  • micheal I had the same concern, no worry about. Just buy it if you like, btw Prada is not only a woman brand. look to all the cosmetics they have for man as well

  • Michael, Why are you so concerned how people look at you. I'm a male & I'm using this phone, there are other male business friends who also use this. Just buy it, have fun & enjoy.

  • Well, Prada design clothes & accessories for both sexes.....

  • i really want to get this this phone butim a male but do people fink thats gay?

  • This is my first mobile made by LG. Be honnest I hate Nokia, like samsung, like SE as well. now falling in love with Prada.

  • LG Prada, not bad at all

  • hehe even blondes can set up this phone. I managed to receive and send e-mail, never reached that point with other mobiles before. btw, LG Prada is great ! just a shame they only have black, wished I had a yellow one. should I paint it ??? beuuuuu

  • Nice fashion phone. I am a business man using PDA and smartphones daily, but this is my evening and weekend mobile. really nice to play with it. Good quality mobile and easy to use. Not that rich on functions, but all a normal human need is there, sms, e-mail, call, mp3, video and camera.The price of the mobile dropped a lot what for sure makes it attractive now

  • Not perfect touch screen cause its sometimes not so sensitive to the touch. The scroll function can be awkward but the rest of the functions are simple, easy, logical, thoughtful & fun to use. The screen/icon/fonts are all big & clear. Sound quality clear & can be very loud. Reception very strong. MP3 sound quality not bad. Camera is quite good(zoom function not too useful...only can zoom a little), but video recording is very nice. Flash light too weak. Build quality not bad for a phone made with plastic instead of metal. Overall, this is quite a satisfying phone to own...

  • one more question, can you set somewhere that when MP3 songs are sent by bleuthooth they are stored on the mem card instead of the main mem ?

  • anyone know how to create access points on this mobile and how to delete existing net profiles ? thx

  • is this phone only for ladies as it is named PRADA ?

  • just use it a few hours. looks great and easy to use.

  • I finally gave in and got the LG Prada on contract. It always appeared on the big side to me but when you're using it it's perfect. The scroll function can be awkward but you can always use the volume keys for this. The best thing so far for me has to be the screen size, i've got a couple of films on my memory card and watching them in landscape mode on the way to work is great.

  • this phone is really great, my first LG ever, and ........feels as a lovely woman

  • lg prada u rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  • i looooove this phone! i'm getting it for my b-day wich is in a couple of days and i just can't waiiit! :) haha... y are you ppl comparing this phone with the n95??? they are completely different phones! and also with the i-phone. i think both are great except this is smaller and its not a smartphone! :) haha... The touchpad on LG chocolate isn't that great but LG have learned they're lesson and made the touchscreen on this phone really good :) can't waittt!

  • am loving it.have had it a bout two weeks now and have no regrets.. Its sleek and very sophisticated

  • does anyone know if the message tones can be changed on this? I have never owned an LG and apparently they can't be, owners please help!

  • It does make a HUGH difference without the PRADA name. To the consumer of the KE850, the PRADA name is actually worth a lot more than the phone, people believe that this KE850 is worth the asking price mainly because of the PRADA logo!!!

  • damn there making another touchscreen phone.. alot like this one.. 5MP camera and 3G.. so much for it being unique to PRADA..

  • This phone is entertaining...

  • This phone is actually useless with applications and games. It would have been a good idea to make the case from metal

  • real nice phone but the zoom does not work on the camera - have had a replacment and same problem!

  • the prada is ace specially for all u designer luvers out there (me, lol) but it is proper ace!!!!!.....

  • i just bought this phone and its f-n great i also have the lg shine so gooo lg!!!:d

  • How nice would it be if they made the case of this Prada phone from metal...

  • My screen got a huge scratch right down the middle from the Prada case now the phone is crap!! I have talked to other people who have had the same problem..I take perfect care of this so I know it wasnt from me.

  • am having problems with my prada phone ... the power randomly shuts off and sometimes when texting the keypad (on the touch screen) freezes.. has anyone been experiencing these problems? how do we get the phone fixed?

  • The phone is really nice.. gonna buy it some day..

  • can i get diffrent languages for this fone??

  • True abt the txting, But after u'll get used 2 it... U aint getting phone for easy of use, ur getting it for showing-off and boy does it work...

  • has anyone seen the white one?? ive looked everywhere!!

  • to whom ever wrote "to floss" read my opinion again.. I clearly state THIS IS NOT A SMARTPHONE! i was saying people should stop comparing it to the iphone just because they both have touchscreens..they are for 2 completly different markets.. im on your side you goof! :P

  • can you make other pictures as your background? such as, pic taken from the camera, pics from the computer onto the sim, etc..??

  • Great sound ... Loud & Clear

  • Yes is also heard someone aobout that de phone set on fire, and the sound isn't good, and that the touchscreen sometimes doesn't work, i wanted to buy this phone but now when i heard all of these faults,, f**k it, maybee i'll just get a nokia again.

  • Hello I am a user of LG PRADA KE850 and have got the phone from Bombay on 12 June 2007 �.. but lately have found some problems with the phone �. I have Hutch Mumbai as my service provider and they say that I cannot get MMS as it does not have any such option in the settings �. I had taken it to the technical person who�s working for HUTCH �.. also that I am unable to use flash in the camera option �I manually on it and still fail to get a clear image � I can only click pictures with full lights or in the day light but in the night it fails Please let me know as to what the problem is and how do I get to use all the features without any hassle Revert back on the same ID Thank you

  • can you make other pictures as your background? such as, pic taken from the camera, pics from the computer onto the sim, etc..??

  • its great looks great 2! BUT!!!! it not so hot whilst texting, if you text any faster than a 1yr old could you will end up wanting to throw it at the wall it just so slow otherwise a great and stylish phone that takes a bit of getting used to. would recommened it thou x

  • The touch screen performace is really good and specific

  • lg ke850 prada model very good futures i would like luanch markets in india give good adversement u also good bussiness in india. this model i am very intersted special is model very good futures. thanking ,u. lg ke850 prada

  • hey guys, one question only!!!! should i buy this phone or not??????

  • LoL I ordered this sweetheart last week and it's not here yet due to US custom is holding all cellular phone packages. They do that once couple years, don't know exactly why maybe alot less people buying thru from retail stores...

  • Has anyone's Prada set on fire yet????? Major manufacturer fault!!!!

  • Anyone has any problem with the touch screen? Mine operates great up until now and the touchscreen no longer react to any touch. I never drop it or damage it... any thoughts? Hate to let it go as I love this phone

  • i've had this phone for about a month now.. replaced the 256 minisd with 1gb, stored all my songs and videos on there, and only thing that is saved on the phone is phone numbers.. for some reason, this phone lags soooo much, to the point that it annoys the hell out of me, i wonder if its something thats defected with mine, or thats just the phone

  • which is better LG prada or htc touch? I like prada,but htc touch interface is really nice.

  • I have three problems 1. The battery is really bad 2. When Im texting somethimes the letter I want doesnt come up it only stays on the first letter on the number. and I have to press space alot of times then have a big gap in my messages then carry on there. 3. and on the menu screen it sometimes begins to be unresponsive.. does this happen to anyone else? is there a way I can 'cure' this Ty x

  • to bring up the pad number press the lowest button on the left side of the phone

  • Hi Confused. To bring the number pad up while using the phone, press the last button on the left edge - the one with a speaker symbol.

  • i think this phone is a bit to big but i love the touch screen

  • Sorry I dont know why I said time in my last post I meant great Phone sorry..

  • O-M-G!! I love this phone! I can't get enough of it =] Sure it has its down sides but it is a great time.

  • i think it aint all that.. n 95 is the best... 5 mp camera.. infrared 1 gb stick all u want is there just at ure finger tips...

  • i own this phone i am a snob to people who arent my friends but thats alright cause i will never meet you yewwww boys are grotty nice phone makes me look like i have lots of money ohh thats right i do it goes with my prada skirt and lv bag the interface is a good idea as well as the touch screen any way i betta go as my so out there friend has turned up for a meeting bye for now people on the benefit should not be allowed in i hate paying theri wages with my tax

  • Does anyone know if LG offers a 1200 mAh battery to replace th standard 800 mAh that comes with the phone? I'm so used to never turning my phone off and having the battery last days.

  • Hi there. Does anybody know how you get the numbers up while you are on a phone call? I have tried to set up my voicemail and need to enter a password but cant get the numbers up. Please help as I will need these for phoning any big organisation banks etc!!

  • It only works with your fingers, and sombody asked if it works with long finger nails? Nope, plus you would scratch the hell out of the screen.

  • Question. Does this phone have a touch pen or can u only use your fingers??

  • I just bought my phone yesterday and havent gotten used to it.. anywayz, does anyone know where we can use messenger in here?...

  • Notice there's "dead spot" with the WB touch screen icons(especially bad with the left bottom one)! This should apply not just to mine, but to all KE850 cause I just tested 2 brand new ones at the phone shop.

  • 400 $ sim free withount contract... I have to buy sth cause my old phone hmm... crashed :)

  • This Prada phone has got strong reception, excellent sound quality too ... Nokia 8600 Luna is exactly the opposite in this regard. N95 hang quite often & the look is kind of cheap compare to the Prada/Luna. Today, until now I had the phone on standby for 9 hours, with total call time of 41 minutes & over 10 minutes of playing around with the camera, I still have 3/4 battery left. I think that the battery performance is definately better than the 8600 Luna or N95. From empty to full charge, this phone does take almost 3 hrs. as compare to 1.5 hrs for the Luna.

  • Hi to all :) I`m from Poland and found this phone really interesting for 410$ (NEW) I have read all the opinions, and my question is whether buy this phone or buy sth else (what phone, except from N95 i 8600 ) Does the phone battery really sucks in comparison to Samsung d600e ?? Is the battery life equal for this phone to stay on for a whole day in about 30-40 minutes of talk ?? Regards Greg.

  • Surprised to find that the the call sound quality from the ear piece is much louder & clearer when compared to the the Nokia 8600 Luna.

  • hey guys. i just got this phone, and im using it here in canada with rogers. i noticed that my roaming icon on the top has been there since i turned on the phone. any suggestions on how to get rid of it. i hope im not using roaming cause that's going to be one expensive bill lol. i've already set rogers as my prefered network and everything. let me know what u guys think. thanks =)

  • This phone is well made ... except when compare to the 8600 Luna, this phone does feel lower quality due to the material used(plastic instead of metal). The plus point is that this phone is lighter so you do not feel tired after long conversation using this phone. Unlike the 8600, I do not experience heat up problem with this phone. The menu is easy ... more so than the 8600, and is more logical & fun to use! Speaker phone not half as good as the 8600.

  • i've read that you cannot use the stylus, only fingers to use the touchscreen. does anyone know, is it possible to use nails, not fingertips? (i know it's a somewhat strange question, but i have long fingernails and cannot use fingertips for tapping the screen :( )

  • wonderful phone evrythng z good

  • Shame gsmarena does not post the upcoming phones which look like this but do not have the prada name tag and might be cheaper. LG KU990 and LG KS20. check them out on google

  • Since I own both the LG Prada & Nokia 8600 Luna, I personally found the Nokia a much better phone.

  • The ring volume of this phone is just too low ... I have the same problem as you do!

  • i canttt hearr my phone ring!! is there any wayys to change the ascending ring style???!!

  • i had the prada phone for one day.. n i charged it with my pc n the external buttons stopped working .. the key won tunlock.. whats the matter with it?? n how can i fix it??

  • I can understand commenting on the ability to use this device one-handed. But to say "especially when you are driving" ... lol. You're not supposed to be using your phone when you are driving!!!

  • Not a good phone for one hand operation(this apply to all touch screen phone)! It is especially dangerous when you use it while driving(not recommanded). I noticed that the call quality of this phone not even half as good as Motorola phones which I also have on hand for comparison.

  • prada i love u perfect

  • This phone looks pritty sexy. It kinda reminds me of the iphone.

  • Dey, yes it does scratch very easily but it doesn't effect the touch screen performance. What I advise is getting an Invisible Shield for it, I posted a link to the website on this forum a while back. You could run a key very hard over my screen and it won't leave a mark.

  • It's very nice. I've dropped it from 3rd floor to 1st floor and it ddin't break. Good job for the makers. Quality.

  • The price for this LG phone is steep because of the PRADA name. Imagine if they put the LV logo in place of PRADA, I do not dare to think how expensive it will be...

  • I have had the phone for 1 day now and very pleased with it. It is very loud when playing music and a piece of real genius, also a very nice looking phone.

  • how is it going with this phone if u have it in your pocket? does it get fast scratches? and do scratches influence the use of the touch screen??? thanks for answers

  • Everyone's going on about it being "crap" or "not worth it", and comparing it with phones such as SE K810, Nokia N series and others, as well as the material it's made of. Perhaps it is "cheap" or "not even metal" which points to the argument, that "it isn't worth the money" but what everyone's forgetting is, that this isn't an ordinary phone. This phone doesn't ask you to recognise it's functions, hell no, nor what expensive material it's made of, but to realise ONE thing, that it is PRADA. Prada bags and shoes don't cost thousands because it's made of pure platinum or it has built in microwave. Open your eyes and argue with proper reasons.

  • lg+prada=paris hilton she will love this phone.. ...and tinkerbell too!!!

  • its a nice phone an easy to use

  • good phone but cant set up outlook in usa so any one have any answers let me know

  • right guys this is tacky and the sides wear away wellll easy fake metal on the sides and the screen is tackyyyyy please guys ive used this phone you try fo a text it's a nightmare and the interface is tacky and the phone is more then tacky it slef

  • news flash, metal is heavy, and a lot of higher end phones are made with plastics with the highest durability ratings, which in many cases is more durable than metal.

  • to those ppl who say it doesn't have a equalizer, it does have one! :D haha.. just watch the walkthrough on goolge :D hihi...i love this phone!

  • Much better than I expected. It isn't an elaborate phone, its busines related and synching functions are awful and it collects finger prints for fun. That said it does what it does extremely well and with some very slick UI touches it lets you be "unique" without having to settle for something so wierd it becomes unusable. The touch controls are very responsive and perfrctly proportioned even for my fat fingers. Texting was no problem for me either though I'm not exactly a "speed texter". Battery life seems pretty good so far lasting a minimum of two days after a few good charges but having the large screen lit for extended periods (gaming etc.) does take its toll as you'd expect. I was quite surprised at how good the camera was. OK, it's no K800, in fact it's closer the the K750, but in this class of fashion phone I'll settle for that any day. If you need a business phone this isn't it, if you need super-fast 'Net browsing forget it, if you want a solid, unique, functional device that sets you apart from the usual SE, Samsung or Nokia crowd but you still appreciate ease of use and reliability this could be the answer.

  • i love this phone!i was supposed to get the i-phone for my b-day but now i'm getting this cuz it's much smaller and lighter and i-phone hasn't even come to europe yet :) i checked this phone out today at the store and i fell in love with it! haha

  • Nice design but not really a great phone! Should be a good buy at around US$380 .... maybe next month!

  • i love this phone!

  • Low quality cheap plastic phone & the price already dropped to US$400!

  • I have had the phone for two days now and i love it very easy to use and looks great!!

  • cheap tacky and lasts ya 6mnths don't bother

  • I'm used to an Imate PDA smartfone & I use the scheduler daily. How good & easy is the Prada's "organiser" to use ? Can I sync the Prada with outlook on my desktop to retrieve all contacts, appointments, photos, etc...

  • This phone is not even made from metal!!!

  • To floss: The iPhone is no smartphone my friend. A smartphone can handle many different applications at the same time... the iPhone doesn't (don't chirp about the Music Player running in the background... my Siemens can do that too and it is no smartphone). It also doesn't have an entirely open OS. A touch screen doesn't make a phone a smartphone. iPhone is an American consumers dream... you can all be cool and have the iPhone for a month or two, then everyone on your street will have one. We will keep our real phones, that don't pretend to be anything they are not.

  • people compare this phone to iphone cause both of them work with fingers and not with sticks!! this phone is good and smaller , lighter then iphone plus it has more camera settings , mp3 as ringtone , video . the only place iphone kicks is the ipod itself (mp3) and the more colourfull interface .period

  • wheres the keyboard??????????

  • this phone is not worth all the talk, it looks nice but u have to text on a touch screen which takes for ever, the camera is only 2mp which isnt brilliant and the only good thing that it does it u can move the clock around! ha ha ha my opinion is its not worth the price its at hardly no features on it compared to a phone such as sek810i!!!

  • tried setting up email, kept getting 'dns error" message, anyone knows how to fix this?

  • Wait For The LG KU990 ... a much better phone than this, and is likely to replace this as the new Prada phone.

  • that was a sad story a bit like mine but hey i am a state director for a marketing company like you my dad worked long and hard hours i got a degree in bus and marketing now i am making enough money to by my dad a house and me and my wife have 3 free hold homes on the gold coast any way the prada is a nice looking phone when i use it people look at me with envy i know money dont buy friends but it does by what you want this phone is worth it ok the i phone is designed for those who want an mp3 player i will wait until the second genteration comes out

  • The Prada phones does use sim cards

  • Not a good "phone" ... but got a nice name!

  • like this phone and almost bought it but had to pass... no infared and only 3 hours talk time, which is very low for a device that is not a smartphone

  • There is no equalizer :( and you cant use the e-mail feature with a secure SSL server. :(

  • Mind Blowing Phone,its sooo damn cool i would suggest evryone to buy

  • I've been saying the same thing since the Prada came out, nobody listens!! One last time........ The Prada and the iPhone are completely different types of phone aimed at different markets, you cannot compare the two. The only thing similar is they both have touch screens! Should we now start comparing every phone on the market because they have buttons!!??

  • far out some of you people are so dumb.. this phone doesn't even compare to the apple iphone.. wanna know why??? this phone is not a smartphone, was never ment to be.. and yes the apple iphone does kick arse over this.. maybe some people don't need a phone that cooks them dinner!! stop comparing the 2 just because they both have a touch screen!! they are 2 compleatly different phones for 2 compleatly different markets of people!!!!!!!! don't tell us it doesn't have this or that coz we know already!! if you want all the this and that then go buy the iphone and stop complaining the prada doesn't do the same thing.. it wasn't made too!!

  • I think I have a tear welling up. No, hang on I don't!! I got my Prada for nothing by taking out a new contract. Even so, get a job!! Not everyone with money had it inherited, most people worked for it.

  • i dont like this phone my family are not rich it reminds me of paris hilton people today are so fashion consious it is not funny you can biuld up wealth on earth but when you die you cant take it with you some i get 5 per week for pocket money i am 19 live at home dad works a 6am-10pm job at the dry cleaners mum has passed away but we have the lord praise be to him.sorry i guess what i mean is sometimes life is not fair but at least i keep on breathing which is the greatest gift in life

  • Does someone know how to set email box for SSL (security port: in and out) for IMAP4 email ? I tried to get my email from office, but can't retrive. In manual, there is not shown as much,thanks a lot for big advice

  • Does someone know how to set email box for SSL (security port: in and out) for IMAP4 email ? I tried to get my email from office, but can't retrive. In manual, there is not shown as much,thanks a lot for big advice

  • Can U Plzzz Help Me Where is EQualizer On ThiS MobiLe

  • I've just got mine today. It is great so far. I wanted an Iphone but my family did not want to go with AT&T so i reluctantly bought this one at the store. But i felt in love with it after hours of testing it out. First, it is a Prada. And any fashion lover knows Prada. Prada turns everything they touch to gold. This phone is not a phone/smartphone no more. It is a piece of art...and to iphone lovers, you all have just wasted your money on a "revolution" phone that was made to take money out of your pocket. 2 years contact, 20 bucks each month for data plan, activation fee,send in phone and pay 80 bucks for a new battery after 400 charges... and many more to come. BUT keep in mind that if the iphone would last for 2 years before you get a new plan...

  • I would also like to know the OS of the phone and if the phone has SyncML on it? I have had no luck finding this information on the LG sites.

  • wow no OS no 3g no WIFI hmmm

  • What kind OS does it run on?

  • Hi there! You are on Gsmarena, that means all phones are GSM and they use sim cards.

  • "This one does 400x240 @ 30fps widescreen Video... The best video quality on a hand held device ever." I think that title would go to the Apple iPhone which does 480x240 video at 30fps with a 16 million color 3.5" screen.

  • ofc It uses simcards

  • Hello please get back to me i will like to know if the Prada phones uses SIM CARD. Thanks.

  • can anyone clarify, is it possible to sync the LG Prada with outlook? If so is it a straightforward set up?

  • This one does 400x240 @ 30fps widescreen Video... The best video quality on a hand held device ever... But, it is not easy to get the right sized video clips. I don't know why LG don't supply demo video clips.

  • If the default ringing style is ascending, cant you still change it?

  • Hi, I am trying to put photos for the callers. But some pictures, it will say not supported, how would i know which will be supported and which will not? I try taking a picture with the lg prada phone and using that as the caller photo, it will still say not supported.

  • which is the prada os?

  • The default ringing style - ascending.

  • I just recently purchased a lg prada phone, and i have a question about one of the features. I realized that the call alert "ring" is increasing ring, rings really low and gradually rings loud. Is there any way to change that?

  • A reasonable good buy at the price of US$400.

  • you style is good,but your phone OS not good.

  • In terms of comparison the only thing this has over the iphone is its good looks.

  • the idea is pretty good... but the touchscreen .. is more than bad .. to scroll down.. you have to use something small.. not your finger.. as you can see in the video.. the scrolling is bad .. i like the idea of the iphone .. is more easier .. waiting for p520 .. regards

  • The easiest cell phone to be used. It`s a practical solution, very light and for me is just beautiful.

  • The phone signal is alright.. i mean it depends on the service provided too.. i have tmobile, which is usualy bad when bad in this area but prada seems to work better than my old motorala razr...

  • I wanna ask about the signal of this phone? does anyone have problem with it? I had LG chocolate a while ago, and the signal is so weak..

  • I got this phone yeasterday...this phone is just WOW...certainely its not a smart phone..but it will turn heads for sure.. you will find more people curious looking at ur prada than iphone. this phone looks great and feels perfect in your hand...it looks better than any damn phone... but again its all about the style..its a night/party phone for sure.... buy it if you dont care about browsing..etc.. but one main thing which is bothering me is.. when u make iunternational call using a calling card... you gotta add some numbers after dialing the 1-800 #... this phone wont take those numbers.... (( b

  • design good, vey difficult to operate in urgency. blue tooth and usb port not connecting properly...low battery life..

  • Had this phone 2 months now, its got some nice design features but durability isn't one of them, I am always concious of how delicate it is, the screen scrathes really easily so I now have a cover. It is an ok phone that looks great but I will maybe go for something more practical next time. Camera, video, radio and MP� are great and work well

  • a gorgeous piece of art! saw it in person and it looked great!

  • yeah...its cool HP,but i cannot find in Indonesia, can i get free hehehe how price is it...

  • hey guys, have any of you heard about the WHITE edition of this phone?? ive seen black and the gold.. but there is a limited edition white, only 500 made.. im gettin my info from someone that has an account with LG..i told him to get me the white one.. only now do i realize the mark up on phones.. its unbeliveable, eg: im getting mine for AU$395 thats with GST and a lil bit for the guy im buying it off..but ive seen retail prices for AU$1000+ at some places...

  • I think i710 is most good phone here. This Prada have no AF function!!! If I were u, I'll choose SAMSUNG i710!

  • Hi, i was wonder if anyone know how to activate the writing language on the LG. I tried many times but it doesn't seem to work. N do you know where to buy the pen for it? Hm..it doesn't comes with the phone.

  • I just got the phone today and its awesome. The phone looks great, works well, sounds great, and the interface is very simple and self explanatory. Its a great phone and VERY VERY light

  • fine

  • Not a good phone to use, but the PRADA name is quite attractive.

  • Not nearly as good as Iphone. I have one. Keyboard input not good. no google maps, no utube, seems slow to respond, dont need a video camera or games, conversion charts, etc. iPhone provides what people need, less a couple of disadvantage it is far superior, same price.

  • Thank you nigelwh! :)

  • Camera zoom.... Yes there is one, but it doesn't work on the highest resolution mode for some reason. You have to set it on 640x480 and then you get the zoom option. But to be honest I wouldn't bother as it makes very little difference!

  • Can any1 assign downloaded image to contact? I did it once and never happens again. I tried different type and size but it just keeps saying "not supported". Help Pleaseeee!

  • Anyone who has this phone, can you confirm if you have the zoom option on the camera? Its there on the video mode but when I switch to camera mode it disappears! Is this the same on all models or have I got a dodgy one? Thanks to anyone who can answer!

  • i did have the lg for 2 monthes but now i have just brought the i phone and i is much better then the lg i hate the color of the lg its on black black but more of a brown and black sorry about the spelling i live in the us

  • One question? Does it have WiFi?

  • before you buy this phone, i sugest you go to hongkong mobile phone market to have a look. The design and size was out over a year ago. the price is under US$100.

  • great desing.. poor functionality.. looks cheap.. cannot match prada brand image..

  • You can expand it to 2gb on a micro sd card.

  • can i ask, the prada phones is expandable up to?

  • slick phone, no pointless features, stylish phone for stylish person, msg is hard at first but you get used to it. great competitor of iphone if not better. although it hasnt got the the technolgy of an iphone. iphone will be the new craze. prada 4 me, iphone for every other sucker.

  • Sorry to dissapoint, but the Louis Vuitton (LV) is fake. See the link below.

  • I just love anything by Louis Vuitton...

  • "LV" phone will sell like hot cakes

  • can anyone help? i can't connect the phone to bluetooth headset...anyone has this problem? argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LG Electronics has claimed the iPhone's design was copied from the LG Prada. Woo-Young Kwak, head of LG Mobile Handset R&D Center, said at a press conference, �We consider that Apple copied Prada phone after the design was unveiled when it was presented in the iF Design Award and won the prize in September 2006.�[3][4] LG later claimed that Apple stole both the ideas and concept of the Prada phone. A lawsuit by LG had been rumored prior to this announcement; [3] however, LG has remained silent on whether or not they will file a lawsuit. [edit] References

  • seriustly?? it doesent even support 3g!!??, not even 1 gig internal!!?? 3 HOURS talk time, c�mon its imberesing. 2mpx camera. god locking maby but thats all, the only phone i am dreaming of is the w960. this is junk

  • LV Phone? i think someone is making up stories... the only other desiger in talks of producing a phone at the moment is Gucci.

  • The phone does not support A2DP protocol. That's a fact. There is no option in menu for playing songs throw stereo bluetooth headset despite the fact that "stereo bluetooth headset" is listed in bluetooth service. I used a Nokia bluetooth handsfree without problems.

  • Can anyone help to post picture of THE "LV" phone, please....

  • just got the phone its awesome. could have some more features and a qwerty keyboard for easier input of text. otherwise light and easier to use. battery life is bit poor. lg should look into it.

  • This phone DOES look the business, I was blown away by how sleek it is when I first held it. Also I was pleasantly surprised by how responsive it is. One word of advice though...heavy texters stay away!! It is clunky to try and text and without the addition of any kind of predictive text it does become a chore to even send simple messages. Awesome elswhere though.

  • LUV the phone only down side no good in sun light, can't see the screen! ps. get the umbrella incase you need to check yr message in your PRADA phone during the sunny day : ) harr

  • 2 me i had my prada phone 4 a month ago, but STILL lov it !!! but will definitely get IPHONE 2 :) so get BOTH should be OKAY !!!

  • I bought it in singapore for S$1110. I can't find any LG manufacturer in here, or perhaps i wasnt trying hard enough lol. Here is the website

  • hey dima can i ask, if u dont mind, how much u paid for it? and wer u got it from?? :)

  • Just bought mine today, i like it, the display awed me ^^ Havent got the chance to play with it yet, still charging the "8 hour first charge" Will play with it in the morning ^^ the nice guy in my regular shop told me not to use the leather prada pouch, he said a lot of costumer complain it scratches the phone.

  • Hi i wanna know how many messengers u can store before its full??? tanks in advance!!

  • You cannot compare the Prada to either the N95 or the iphone as they are totally differnent kinds of phone. If you want loads of gadgets, coffee making facilities and 100 other functions you will never use, get the N95. If you want an mp3 player and web browser that just happens to also make calls, get the iphone. If however you just want a phone to actually make phone calls, that looks nice, is really easy to use and has some very nice useful features which you can slip into your pocket without everyone thinking that your pleased to see them, them the Prada is for you!!

  • ive seen this phone a lot of times before but just realized now how beautiful it is :O... im just in love with this phone ... but i dont know if i should buy this or the nokia n95... the n95 has a lot of features but this had a good design... what do you think is best... n95 or this prada phone?

  • @Specifications there is MP3 Ringtones.. is it able to add mp3 ringtones or not ? Why not when it's also an mp3 player..

  • my brother was thinking of getting a Lg Prada instead of buying an iPhone like the one i have...im biased because i own an iphone to any lg prada owners which phone would you prefer

  • i have a question..it isn't mentioned anywhere but is kinda common sense..does it has a way to plug in headphones? mail me at [email protected] thanks

  • it DOES SUPPORT A2DP You can't just go and try to pair your device with any old bluetooth headset, that won't work. You need to pair it with a music stereo headset, like a Motorokr s9 or something among that sense. Just read this forum

  • man where could i get some themes, sounds, applications for my LG Prada ?

  • LUV the phone only down side no good in sun light, can't see the screen!

  • Do you know why so much problem with this phone?Course a Devil live in this phone..Have fun haha..!

  • My friend brought this phone last week & she said that it is a lot worst than the Motorola A1200 she traded-in for. She is thinking of trading in for the Nokia 8600...because of the good looks!

  • waiting for the price to drop.....

  • hey i cant connect my Prada to PC, it said connection error, please help

  • i've got a question for niel..why are you leaving your phone on the dashboard, thats stupid because if its on there while your drivin the phone would heat up cause the dashboard would heat up if the cars on and if your not driving why would you leave such an expensive phone in the car.

  • Had this phone for 2 weeks. very nice design and very light. the only problem of prada is the battery's lifetime. SE is much better in this.

  • I'll wait for the "LV" phone.......

  • I just got the phone and very impres with the design but the menu i had is only in French and if anyone know how to access the speaker phone, please let me know. Thanks bao

  • is this mobile for woman or for men?hope it's unisex so i can buy it

  • getting my prada phone tommorrow. i am so excited to see how it works and show it off

  • Phone is overheating in the car. Its not been non stop sunny but the first time no more than 15 mins in the car and the phone was very hot and killed the battery. Swapped batterys and again left on the dash in the pouring rain. The sun came out and the phone overheated again doing the same thing. Had to let phone cool down and put in charged battery before it would work again.

  • you go girl.. i know a lg wholesaler so im getting mine cheap.. i donno if i should get the gold edition or the white.. i don't want black coz everyone has that. if you want a phone that has GPS and all that jazz then your looking in the wrong direction this phone is for the fashion conscious, not the fashion victims, see we know how to get to PRADA without GPS help.. you can only get GPS in ugly looking fones at the moment anyway.. i'll b waiting for the iphone to hit oz shores b4 i ditch this phone..

  • i had this prada for 1 week already. and i can tell u, this phone rocks da house! tactile response, and whoever say its made from cheap plastic, try to compare it with nokia or sony ericsson this phone have no gaps nor creaks, unlike SE or nokia. the messaging also quite easy touse, but it takes me 3 days to master it, but dun worry, now i can message as fast as real keypad. its quite easy actually. the only downside is the battery life. it cant go so far with its features. hey come on, i know u dont own one of these prada, but use ur brain abit, its a full-touchscreen phone, of course it will consume a lot of battery, and somemore, when u go settings, u will see a power saver, so dun blame LG, fools, the ones that only like nokia and sony ericsson, thats ur business. i noe u onli dun hav enuf money and jealous on us who can have prada, so dun insult phoens with that kind of cheap plastic comment or anything, and people, dun believe them cos they DONT OWN ONE. talk to people who really have experienced it. oh yeah, FYI, i saved 7 months to buy this prada.

  • It is not made with cheap materials. Best phone ever!

  • Press the Profiles button during calls

  • re: if the touchscreen locks during calls, how do you navigate thugh all the customer service helplines where you need the key pad, when calling banks, or any other big co.? the screen can be unlocked by pressing the bottom button on the left hand side of the phone during a call, this brings up the keypad.

  • If the touchscreen locks during calls, how do you navigate thugh all the customer service helplines where you need the key pad, when calling banks, or any other big co.?

  • This phone does looks and feels like it's made from cheap plastic.....

  • "it DOES support A2DP, no question about it / employee of LG" ..... Dear LG employee, the phone DOES NOT support A2DP. It's only A FALSE advertising. PLEASE TRY IT. posted by YMV13 FALSE ADVERTISING!

  • Neither does the iPhone, and everybody is crazy about it
