LG announces second touchscreen Prada phone with real keyboard
As rumoured a couple of months ago, LG and Prada have teamed up to launch a successor to the original Prada phone that launched last year.
At first glance, the new Prada phone looks very similar to the first, but it now sports a thin slide-out silver metallic keyboard and a beefy 5-megapixel camera (up from two) with Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens…
RUMOUR: Upgrade to the Prada phone
The Prada phone looks like it’s getting an upgrade. In a break from mobile phone naming tradition, which frequently makes no sense whatsoever, it’s called the PRADA II. It’s as pretty as you’d imagine for a phone associated with Prada, looking much like the original…
LG introduces the Prada phone in silver
Fashion phones have been and gone since the LG Prada first appeared. But that’s not stopped LG from persevering with the handset, reissuing it in a silver colour scheme for 2008.
Opinion: Why it's now COOL to be a GEEK
Jonathan Weinberg writes…
This is possibly the most important techno story I’ve seen all week, it’s officially ok to be geeky. A new list of the UK’s most coolest brands has been released and the top 10 contains SEVEN firms related to gadgets, gaming and the internet. So if that’s not a reason to embrace your virtual friends and give thanks I don’t know what is.
The iPod was only pipped into second place in the CoolBrands 2007 by James Bond’s favourite car, the Aston Martin, and you could argue there’s something geeky about being a fan of that motor. No longer is it nerdy to be geeky – because both are different…
LG Viewty cameraphone gets a UK release date
We’ve written about the LG Viewty phone before, and Susi even got hands on with it at the IFA show last week. But today, LG has confirmed that its slinky 5.1-megapixel camphone will be available to buy in the UK from mid-October.
LG 'Viewty' U990 confirmed as the Prada-less mobile with extra-spiffy specs
I’m quickly becoming obsessed with LG’s as-yet unreleased U990 mobile, with it having the aesthetics of the LG Prada, minus the Prada branding, and compensating by packing a huge amount of extra features for us less fashionable sorts who shop at Primark.
Susi got her hands on one last week, and even did a quick video review, with thanks to the network 3 (who’ll be selling the phone later this year), but we haven’t seen any proper photos of it yet – until now. It’s just been officially confirmed, and will be flying storewide by Autumn this year. Which, err, judging by the weather, should’ve been about three months ago…
LG Prada KE850 touch-screen mobile phone to be revamped and lose Prada logo?
Back in March this year I flew to Milan with LG to celebrate the launch of the LG Prada KE850 touch-screen mobile, and whilst chatting to a head honcho from the company, he let it slip that they were considering revamping the handset and even dropping the Prada affiliation, even before the launch of the first model.
Not particularly shocking, as I’m sure there’s plenty of gadget-loving fiends out there who lust after the KE850’s smooth curves and complete touch-screen experience, but don’t want to risk being mocked by their jeans-n-jumper wearing unfashionista friends…
Introducing… the Motorola RAZR hair straightening tongs

So good old LG is moving its chocolate-coated design to home-based audio systems, no doubt hoping some of the kudos won by its classy phone line will rub off on its other products.
But would this work for other manufacturers?
2007 Tech Trends No. 5: Touchscreens
Fourth in a series of posts highlighting Tech Digest’s pick of big technology trends for the second half of 2007…
It may have escaped your notice, but there’s a new mobile handset called the iPhone coming out this Friday. I know, you’d think someone would have publicised it. One of the most intriguing elements of Apple’s handset is its tactile touch-screen interface, which goes further than merely dabbing at buttons with a stylus, and gets you using your fingers to swipe, slide and explore.
