i just got the storm and am quite disappointed! i had the first prada which i loved and i’m thinking i’d really like to get the new one. i hate having to click when i write messages and think it’s so much easier to do it on the prada. plus the storm is huge!

i’m also not a massive user of the internet on my phone but thought i’d give it a go and was given a good deal but having to download all the apps n stuff is a ball ache, i don’t know if it’s me but i can’t find many, or do simple things like changing my ringtone! i hate fussing with phones n don’t mind switching to a dumbed down version! maybe i can warm to it but i dunno, i loved my last prada.

The QWERTY keyboard is back with a vengeance and it’s here to stay! I hate the Prada, but I’m all about the revival of this most under-rated (and typically unfashionable) method of inputting text on a mobile device, so in a way I have to congratulate LG for putting it in a fashion phone.

Hehe, it might work as a replacement for a Blackberry… if it did email.

It does not.

It’s the original Prada handset with the original OS and a QWERTY keyboard. It will sell 15 units, have a returns rate of 80% and disappear into the ether forever.

It sounds crude and illogical, but I just don’t want a phone with an Italian fashion label’s name on it. Not unless it comes with a free chihuahua anyway. In all seriousness though, I am a big fan of the keyboard in box smaller than a G1 – I think it’s a design that people will start returning to more once the touchscreen phase dies down. But it needs to be on a phone which offers more than just chicness, darling.

Load of old crap. If I wanted a poncey phone I’d buy an iPHone.

With 3G, Wi-Fi and HSDPA on board, along with a 5 megapixel camera on board it just might tempt some BlackBerry loyalists. Having said that, LG’s not for everyone, having tried the original Prada I include myself in that bunch.

Missing a GPS sensor apparently. Everything else seems to be there. What OS though? Hope not Windows

Oh bollocks, another new phone to confuse me on which to buy
