LG and Prada had announced the LG KE850, the Prada phone, a while ago. The phone isn't offered by any US carrier, but an LG spokesperson mentioned that we could see a Prada with 850 MHz support this summer. You can buy a triband Prada in Prada stores in New York City and Los Angeles. We will have a hands-on review of this phone in the coming weeks. I'll tell you this in the meantime- the Prada inspired keen lust, and not just because of its looks. The high res touch screen works wonderfully, the music player supports not just MP3 but AAC and WMA files and the UI is intuitive. Think of it as the non-smartphone iPhone that happened to beat Apple to market by 4 months.
Here are the photos and specs:
