I would like to take this opportunity to warn all you folks considering getting a new mobile phone not to get the LG Prada. It is rubbish (and yes, that is the technical word!).

Whilst it is undeniably incredibly sleek, and you will look oh-so-very-cool casually fishing it out of your bag or pocket, you will rapidly loose that air of sophistication as you bite your lip in an attempt to hold in the expletives that spontaneously spring to mind whilst trying to actually use the damned thing!

It is the worst phone I have ever had (and given my track record with losing phones, I have had a lot of phones).

It's all touch screen (with the exception of a few hard buttons on the very bottom and the side) and again it seems very cool on first impressions. However, you'll quickly find that the buttons are slow to respond and are too close together if you have fingers any bigger than those of a 5 year old.

It also has a tendency to freeze and not let you do anything at all. Highly annoying!

However, the worst feature by far is the way that the keys to which the letters are assigned change depending what you are trying to do. When composing a text message, A, B and C will be where key 2 is. The same as every other phone. Very sensible. Well done LG.

But when you come to search through your phonebook by typing in the name, the keys have all miraculously reassigned themselves so that they aren't where you'd expect them to be! ABC are now where key 1 would normally be. This has caused me to suffer a disproportionate amount of phone rage! Not helped by the fact that when you try to correct the inevitable mistake and press the key which normally will only delete one letter, you find yourself promptly back at the home screen.

The battery life also leaves something to be desired, so that on those rare occasions when you manage (either through an inordinate amount of concentration or sheer luck) to call someone, you can't talk for long before it begins to die on you!

In conclusion, this phone sucks and in order to avoid becoming the victim of severe phone rage and ending up wasting time ranting about it (like I am in this note), I suggest you choose another phone!
