I want one, as long as it stays exlusive- inkeeping with prada. Unlike that D&G razor phone.

The PRADA phone is quite expensive at around €600 / £380 before tax and any subsidy (although certainly not the most expensive phone on the market).

When it hits European stores in late February, the 12-mm thick PRADA phone (model KE850) will cost about 600 Euros (equivalent to US$780) in France, Britain, Germany and Italy.

Probably won't be that much but it just seems that it's being reinforced that it'll be more than the mac one.

yeah but this is actually a good phone(similar to the iphone) and not just a different fascia to an old model.

Was gonna say without the branding the handset would look ok.

the brandings not a problem to me, its quite nice if it doesnt push the price up by 200 to 300 pounds.

I'd prefer it if it was branded LG than Prada - it implies that you need to show off a brand name on a phone when Prada has nothing to do with electronics. Simply a superb marketing ploy - we've had the D&G V3, also brands like Aston Martin and Ferrari have stuck their names on phones.

The phone itself looks very sleek I have to admit.
