10/10 on form factor...this is a sweet phone, bought it for my wife and she LOVES it, and looks SO hot using it! Slight reception issues outside of major metropolitan areas, some dead spots in small cities due to the tri-band, but overall surprisingly better than expected (we use AT&T/Cingular). No problems with SIM card interface. Not a phone for tech junkies although the whole touch screen is pretty slick. Camera is actually better than I thought. Has flash but not auto. Does come with earphones, a 128MB card and beautiful packaging. USB port works fantastic just like flash drive for data transfer to desktop. You WILL stick out like a sore thumb using this thing and love every minute of it! Highly recommend it, but do check out tri-band reception in your area first to avoid major disappointment.
Yes, it is true the phone looks sleek and stylish, however user experience is as bad as it gets.
For one, the dialing responds to the heat of your fingers and not the actual touching so you can bang on it as long as you want but it would not work unless it is a worm finger LOL (yes ladies cut your nails and take your gloves off...). Sometime it really takes a while to dial a number and you have to repeatedly touch the number until the phone recognized what you are doing ..........
In addition to this, when dialing voicemail, while listening to the actual message very often the phone feels the heat from your ear and dials the nearest number (eg. 7 to delete the message before you are even done listening to it).
There seems to be a recurring issue with software when the screen freezes and you need to take out the battery and turn it back on to work.
Last but not least, after about 4-5 month of use the sound in my phone completely disappeared it's like it is on mute except that it's not. Still rings but you can't have a conversation with anyone because you do not hear them and they cannot hear you.... I will try and see if I can get my money back although it might be a little too late.
My advise avoid this phone. There are other phones out there do your research and get one that works.First let me say I am a die hard Mac head, I was in the line for the Apple iPhone on release day, and walked home with one... I love the iphone and its amazing BUT I don't like the size of it for my needs a bit to heavy and large to keep in a jeans pocket.
I bought the Prada and Happy I did perfect size, and soooo Light!
The screen is bright and clear, the pictures also come out wonderful as does the video camera Mode,Not having a bit of trouble at all, if you need to enter numbers for company's
, you just hit the profile button and up pops the dial pad, easy as pie!
In closing, I really love the Prada phone, it was the first touchscreen, and it works well.
I live in the sticks(on edge of a forest) and this phone gets much better reception then my iphone, same mobile company, same location.
I get 5 bars in most locations, and so far the battery has lasted a full 2 day with still have a charge left, very happy!
I also posted a picture comparing the two!It is easy to think of this phone as being similar in appearance to the iPhone. In fact, most reviews compare this phone to the Apple iPhone. However, I don't agree with that at all. Really all that these phones share is a touchscreen interface. The LG Prada is in fact, a more traditional cell phone. It's features are simple and pretty much what you'd expect out of a cell phone. I like that it is light and love the interface. However, be warned the interface also requires that you are always touching the screen for something. Without a tactic feel for buttons or numbers, this phone is almost impossible to use while driving or any other task that also requires your attention. (The truth is you shouldn't be fiddling with any phone while driving). The sound quality is excellent on my network and I had very little trouble receiving texts, photos, etc. The camera on the phone is pretty good (I love all of the software features (including a flash). The MP3 player is very nice too, and unlike most phones, I can set my MP3s to be my ring-tone.
Can you tell I like this phone after using it for a month?!
I do. The only drawbacks to me are the very delicate scratchable screen and the need to continually touch the screen, whereas a RAZR or traditional cell usually has more dedicated buttons or you train yourself to know which buttons to push by tactile feel without having to look at the phone. OH and it is a little annoying that people ask you about the phone waaaay too much.
