Is the LG Prada II a Case of Déjà Vu?
If you have come across the old version of the LG Prada before, one look at the LG Prada II may give you a mild case of déjà vu. After all, they look almost exactly alike, except that the LG Prada II may seem a little thicker. But does the similarity between the LG Prada II and its predecessor go beyond the plastic, or is there more to the newcomer that meets the eye?
Sleekness in Design
The LG Prada II, also known as the LG KF900, has a sleek candy bar design that makes it really pretty on the eyes. It measures 4.11 inches long, 2.13 inches wide and 0.66 inches deep. The phone is a little bit thicker than its predecessor, the LG Prada, but that is probably because of the full QWERTY Keyboard that slides out from underneath the screen.
The Touch screen of the LG Prada II is a nice three inches diagonal. It has a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and can recognize 262,144 colors. The phone, all in all, weighs 130 grams, and it fits easily in the palm of your hand or inside the pocket of your pants.
Versatility in Connectivity
In terms of connectivity, the LG Prada II has a lot to offer. It is a GSM quad-band phone and it is possible to use it with global roaming. In Europe, it can work as a UMTS dual-band phone, while in Asia it is possible to have it as a 3G phone. The LG Prada II can also work with GPRS, EDGE and HSDPA.
Aside from that, the LG Prada II has support for WAP 2.0, XHTML and full HTML browsing. You can also connect the phone using Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth and USB 2.0.
Well-Rounded Multimedia
The LG Prada II is a phone that can cover as a multimedia phone rather well. The music player can give you some level of listening pleasure, as it is easy to organize your music tracks with it. The phone has support for playing a wide variety of music formats, including mp3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR, RealAudio, 3GP, wma and wav. It also has an FM radio player.
The camera that goes with the LG Prada II is a highly functional 5-megapixel camera that has almost all the settings you would want in a camera phone: Autofocus, night mode, flash, digital zoom and image stabilizer. It even has a separate camera for making video calls.
Video recording and playback can also be done satisfactorily with the LG Prada II. The camera can record videos at 30 frames per second at a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels. Formats supported include mpeg4, RV, DivX, H.263 and H.264. What is more is that the LG Prada II has an application that allows for editing photos and videos.
The Bluetooth Watch
It is also very much worth noting that the LG Prada II is easy to use. It has a fully QWERTY keyboard that slides from underneath the screen, as mentioned above. The LG Prada II is also a multi-touch phone, which means that you can easily pinch or scroll your way through the menus and in browsing the Internet.
However, the multi-touch function is not as responsive as you may want it to be. On the other hand, the interface does allow for fast scrolling, and in this phone model, freezing seems to be rare.
Customizing widgets with the LG Prada II can be fun. You can create your own widgets based on the tasks you do most often with your LG Prada II. After you have finished with your widgets, just give the phone a little shake and the icons will fall into place.
But the best thing ever with the LG Prada II is its Bluetooth watch accessory. It does not come with the retail box, but it is highly recommended that you get one. The Bluetooth watch allows you to read text messages, cancel phone calls or put your phone on silent mode when it is not possible for you to answer your phone calls. It also functions as an ordinary digital watch would.
The LG Prada II may bring that déjà vu sensation crawling up you at first glance, especially if you have already used the old LG Prada before. But this newcomer has a true appeal that makes it worth your time and your money.
