LG KF900 Prada

Design, keyboard, touchscreen, ease of use

Price (SIM-free), no GPS, leather case, proprietary connector, bulk

The LG KF900 Prada II looks pricey SIM-free, but its specification and nice interface and the excellent keyboard are all worthy of note if you can find the Prada II on a contract that suits you. Thicker and heavier than the original, the phone may have...

No smartphone capability ; No GPS ; Motion-controlled games limited ; Widgets are limited ; Low-light shooting isn't great ; Some potentially battery-sapping features ; Monochrome themes are limited ; Touchscreen text input is poor

Much improved spec-wise, but the added bulk of this phone may but some of the more style-conscious off

Excellent entertainment features in camera, video and editing suites; superb touch-screen; smooth user interface

Patchy internet and email experience; lags in menu loading as memory is used up; lack of GPS prevents it from being a real ?high-end? device

Design, aesthetics, QWERTY keyboard, simple yet effective interface, speed, HSDPA-capable, Wi-Fi

Proprietary headphone/charging jack, no GPS, poor browser, expensive

LG's Prada KF900 is proof that fashion phones don’t always have to be all style and no substance. The lack of GPS and a standard headphone jack are downsides, but the QWERTY keyboard is excellent and the interface is a winner.

Two-year-old design ; The large waistline doesn't match the fashionable image (but is OK for a QWERTY messenger) ; Plastic build ; No GPS (LG Renoir has it) ; No XviD video support (LG Renoir has it) ; Multi-touch has rather limited use ; No Flash...
