LG Prada phone is actually rebranded LG KE850
As we mentioned a few days ago, LG and Prada are teaming up for a new expensive stylish mobile phone. News of the LG KE850 was recently released, but nobody thought the stories were related. Now, Gizmodo is reporting the LG Prada phone rumored last week is actually a repackaged KE850. As you can see in the pictures above, the phone will sport the Prada name prominantly and likely a Prada branded interface as well. The phone hits Europe in spring 2007, but no word yet on a U.S. release. It also looks like the handset will be priced around $400 or $500.

Still searching to see if this supports Java (MIDP). No mention so far so maybe it doesn’t. I find it hard to believe that the Iphone does not have Java midp installed, so it users can download and use all the thousands of Java applications/games out there. What a shame… they could of done it easy enougth I reckon

I got this phone a bout 3 weeks ago… And MY GOD does it still amaze me! It really is the Dogs B******s! There are still one or 2 two set backs still to be straightened out. For example, when adding a new T9 word to the dictionary in txting, there is no backspace or delete character only a return button in it’s place so take my advise and be careful with txting. Other than that, BUY THIS PHONE and be as impressed as I am… Plus, I’m a walking sex icon with this phone!!!

Hi,
I got one too and it has MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1
Camera mode looks fantastic as it uses the whole screen.
Cheers
