Coming to the end of your contract? Looking for an upgrade to your rubbishy Java phone?
You’re spoiled for choice at the moment with swanky smartphones more common than out-of-work bankers. Everything from the T-Mobile G1 to the BlackBerrry Storm is free on monthly contract, but don’t whip out the credit card just yet – there are a few more mobiles on the horizon worth waiting for.

We’ve gone style mad this week thanks to LG’s new Prada Phone. We wouldn’t normally go near a fashion ‘fone, but the Prada II stands out on the catwalk by actually offering some decent specs inside, as well as a QWERTY keypad.

We’re quite taken with the new Prada Phone. OK, it’s got a price tag to equal the average debt of an Icelandic banker, and it’s 50% heavier than the first model, but for the money you get a design to die for, more hidden talents than a Butlins training course and the option of pairing up with the exclusive Prada Link watch.

Only one’s getting out alive: see who survives inside.
We’ve pawed its touchscreen, fingered the new keyboard and gawped at the love-it-or-hate-it Prada Link Bluetooth watch, but here’s five things you never knew the new Prada Phone was capable of.
