LG Prada KF900

By Joseph Hanlon on 01 May 2009

There's definitely a few components missing for what you'll pay for a Prada, but these haven't detracted from our experience. It's much better than the original Prada phone and many of its current competitors as well.

    • Good: looks awsome, loud speakers, touchscreen, QWERTY key board
    • Bad: no 3.5mm phone jack, no GPS (not that i care enyway about GPS)

    i want that phone my friend has it and he loves it he has had it 5 months no problems at all and he recomends it to everyone. dont mind the internal memory its solved with a microSD card, i like SD card better than internal because its alot faster to transfer you things from phone to phone when buying a new one

    • Good: texting capabilites
    • Bad: not being able to answer calls

    I have only had this phone for 4 months and already I am having major problems with freezing, not being able to answer incoming calls, and chipping of key board paint.

    It is a very beautiful phone but the problems outweigh the positive. I will never buy an LG product again.

    • Good: keypad
    • Bad: everything else!

    I bought this phone about a month ago and have had nothing but problems. From freezing, to turning off when trying to answer a call, to itself choosing different applications to what i chose. I suggest don't even bother I've heard all of these phones have been re-called because of these problems. Stick with the blackberry's reliable and easy to use.

    • Good: Stylish design, QWERTY keyboard, 3 menus
    • Bad: Keypad is a bit too wide, battery is pathetic

    I was really excited to purchase this phone and when I finally got my hands on it.. I'd have to say that I was slightly disappointed.
    Besides getting a lot of compliments from my friends because of its stylish design, I really like the UI and applications it has to offer. The buttons on the right hand side are really useful; a shortcut to your favourite applications and running applications. Other positives are already mentioned in the editor's review.
    On the other hand, the phone froze twice on the day I got it, and a few more times after that. I don't know if it's because I have small hands but I find that the keyboard is too wide for my liking, compared to other phones with QWERTY keypads (eg Nokia N97), so it takes a while to get used to. The battery life is a let down, and the phone doesn't seem sturdy as it wiggles, especially when you are trying to take photos with the in-built camera.

    • Good: design, good touchscreen , qwerty keyboard
    • Bad: most of it!

    This phone is rediculously overrated.
    difficult to use, particularly in changing setting.
    Bad apps.
    Started freezing the day after i got it.
    Battery terrible
    No 3.5 headphone jack

    I sold this phone after 2 weeks. If all you want in a phone is good looks and great texting capabilities then consider this one.

    • Good: good keypad
    • Bad: its not bad at all

    i really want one but i don't know where to get it

  • Candy gave 9/10 on 28/06/2009 13:38

    • Good: Best Keyboard for texting/emails, Good 5mp Camera, Loud Speaker, Gets heaapps of compliments, Is much cheaper now it's been around for a while, It's the second of it's series so any problems have been fixed and improved.
    • Bad: Battery isn't amazing, camera doesnt have any protection, A bit bulky because of the keyboard (I don't find this a problem however others might)

    So I bought this phone for about $480 along with a 8GB card, which is really good considering it's features are amazing and most phones like this are very very exspensive. I have had it for a week now and have absolutly no regrets. I showed my brother it, who has had his iPhone for a while now, he love it and said it's better than his iphone. My friends really like it too and want to get one of their own. The prada phone looks and feels really exspensive (very Gossip Girl type of thing :P). It's screensaver features random Prada pictures, that always change, I've had mine for a week and I still see different pictures. The texting is so easy for this phone, people pick it up in seconds, the keys are really well spread, so it's harder to accidently touch a key beside it. Anyone thinking about this phone should really consider it, it's one of the best phones around for its price.
