LG's Prada phone is a strange beast in many respects. Designed jointly by LG and fashion house Prada, the handset is has pretensions to be a design classic. Moreover, it has gone fully touch screen, which while not a new idea for mobile devices like PDAs, Apple's iPhone aside is novel for mobile phones.
There are a couple of buttons dotted around the place, but it is the vast screen that is supposed to be your main way of using the phone, and this is both its greatest feature and its biggest irritation.
The touch screen is populated by some neat icons and when you are tapping at these to run applications things seem to work OK. The same can't be said for writing text messages, which I found a bit slow and tedious.
