The LG Prada Phone looks amazing! Is it OEM unlocked or is the phone unlocked from a carrier with a carrier logo on it?
jeremy on April 30, 2007
Can we see more features of the LG Prada phone on another video?.. how is the camera on it? Text messaging and dialing looks pretty easy from the video, how do pictures look on that screen?

I just got the LG Prada Phone Unlocked and i must say it's actually worth the hype. I have gotten the most compliments on this phone by far. and i've had a lot of phones :). I'm surprsided Prada partnered with LG i would have thought they would go with nokia. Oh well, i will have to wait for the Gucci Nokia Phone :)

Will Sprint be carrying this phone?

The LG Prada Phone is the best looking phone on the market. I have been using this phone for a week now and thought it would be difficult to get used to the touch screen but its been easier than expected. The menus are really well optimised for the touchscreen interface. This unlocked LG phone has all the features that I require - 2megapixel camera, Bluetooth, mp3 player and above all it's extremely good looking!

I've been using the LG Prada Phone for about two weeks now and have had some issues with it. I'm still having difficulty adjusting to the touch screen, especially when text messaging.
I'm not very happy with the quality of sound, playing MP3's through the Loud speaker results in distortion and crackling.
The other issue is that there's no 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity, so it takes a while for pages to download. Finally, its' biggest flaw is that you can't see the display out in the sun! I regret getting rid of my Sony Ericsson W810i. LG and Prada could have definitely come out with a better quality cell phone at this price.

I got the LG Prada Phone unlocked just five days ago and I love it! Not only is it a high-fashion accessory but it has all the other functions I would want. Although it took me a day or two to get used to the touch-sensitive screen its a good change from the conventional keypad.
The camera on the LG Prada phone is pretty good for a 2mp although the flash is not that great.
Has anyone got the prada bluetooth? I'd like to have some reviews before I buy one.

when is PRADA phone be available in philippines?
Steve on July 30, 2007
does LG Prada phone work with Verizon? and where do u get it unlocked?
Paul on August 1, 2007
LG Prada won't work with and CDMA (Verizon, Sprint,etc) and only work for GSM because its a GSM unlocked phone.
Verizon will be releasing a version of the LG Prada esclusively for it (pretty sure they will change a few of the designs like they did with the chocolate).
By the way, I can't wait to get this phone in the mail...ordered it a couple days ago.
meee on August 29, 2007
sprint is CDMA ..
DB on September 7, 2007
I like the style of the phone plus nice alternative to Apple Iphone, but disapointed it is only Triband, not Quad Band. If I had my way every unlocked phone made would be Quad Band so supported everywhere..... Although I may still consider purchasing it....
Yo on September 10, 2007
Great phone
nhung on November 25, 2007
Does rhe unlocked version of the Prada comes with all of its components from the original package (car charger, wall charger, leather case, etc.)? If so, what does the Prada comes with when you guys/girls purchased it from this website? Was the Prada used before you bought it?.yea........loads of questions.
Lynn on February 18, 2008
The look of the phone is cute...except the screen scratches so easily. The quality of phone calls suck (I cant hear anything) and the internet is even worse. If it wasn't for the name I probably would have never purchased this phone. I'm ready to go back to my blackberry pearl.
veronica on February 22, 2008
I have att&t and want to buy this phone do you have to get a data plan to surf the net and stuff for this phone.Do you pay Extra charge besides the minute plan ?

What is Sim Free? A sim free phone is a phone that is not
locked to the sim card of a specific carrier.
What is Unlocked? An unlocked phone is a phone that can work
with any sim card and/or GSM service provider. Please note that at least one
of the GSM Bands in the phone should match the GSM service prodiver's bands.
What is a Sim Card? A sim card is a small flat rectangle plastic
that contains a microchip. This microchips is the heart of your phone, it contains
your phone number, your address book, and the necessary information for your phone
to work. All sim cards look the same, but the microchip inside is different for
every GSM service provider.
What is a GSM service provider? A GSM service provider (carrier)
is a company providing you with a working line and phone number. To do this, they
will provide you with a sim card.
My GSM service provider does not have sim cards, why?
If your service provider does not have sim cards, then it does not use GSM
technology. Our phones will not work with non-GSM service providers.
What is GSM and non-GSM?
GSM is a mobile phone technology that uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access).
GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. The competing system is CDMA
(Code Division Multiple Access). GSM and CDMA are not compatible systems. If a phone
is designed for GSM, it will not be compatible with CDMA and vice-versa.
What are GSM Bands 900/1800/1900 Mhz? GSM technology can work on
up to 4 frequencies: 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, and 1900 Mhz.
Some GSM phones support all the bands or frequencies, or just a couple.
A dual band phone supports only two, usually 900/1900 or 850/1900.
A tri-band phone supports three bands, either 850/1800/1900 or 900/1800/1900.
A quad-band phone supports all GSM bands. Quad-band phones are able to
work with any and all GSM service providers.
On the other hand, GSM service providers support just a subset of all the GSM bands
available. Before buying a GSM phone, make sure the phone supports at least one
of the bands that your GSM service provider supports.
Do I need a contract to buy an Unlocked Phone?
No. A contract is required between you and the GSM service provider for you to
get a working phone line. A contract is not required between you and PureMobile.
No service plan included?
GSM service providers offer phones at discounted prices attached to their service
plans. The catch is these phones are locked to their sim cards. You cannot
use them with other GSM service providers. Our mobile phones are unlocked, they
reflect the real market price of a mobile phone and they are not locked to
a specific GSM service provider. That's why we do not attach any service plan to them.

support program that replaces the manufacturer's coverage on your
product for as long as you choose.
