LG Unveils Prada Phone With Touch Screen
and you thought the iphone was expensive!
For 2GB capacity that you must purchase in addition to the phone for around $50 or more? And no WiFi, no 850 MHz, and lower resolution LCD.
Do you want Prada to sell their phone for $49.
It the name and status symbol.
i think the prada may be coming out but people wont even be turning their heads for it...sorry

Remember how expensive cell phones were when the first one with a color screen came out. same thing here. if touch screen is successful, someone will make it for a couple of hundred.

Listen, i am on your side. Do you think $500 for a belt or 1K for shoes is fair. I can't afford that and even if I had the money, i would rather give it away than spend that kind of money. Thats why I shop at walmart. They carry expensive stuff that cost $1000, but there is a value to it (eg computer). but a belt or shoes cost 50 buck max. that was the point i was trying to make.

can you imagine how much money you would be spending if you bought the Wii, Xbox 360, Play Station 3, games n controllers? Then we'll throw in the video ipod , along with 2 iphones (one for mom n dad) plus accessories. That's easily well over $3,...

P.S. Inflation is part of life...we make more, companies charge us more for products.
Could you imagine a bunch of grandparents, and your mom n dad with one like the RAZR? The RAZR wasn't as kewl once everyone on the planet had one...
And for $800 this phone isn't very impressive. For $400 this thing doesn't even look that appealing. Looks like it doesn't have an FM radio. Its hard drive is nowhere near as big as the iphone's. Standard 2 mp camera with no optical zoom. Probably cheesy QCIF video too. It just looks like a dolled up PDA phone with a bigger hard drive.
If I were to pay $800 dollars for a phone it better have a waterproof HD camcorder or a REAL computer built into it. I'm not talking about PDAs. I'm talking abo...

The iPhone is $500 & $600 WITH contract - this is just shy of $800 without - that's a huge difference. And that's before any charges & plan requirements Cingular will have. People who want to buy this without a contract will end up paying $900 - $1000 easily.
Cingular is not going to sell this phone without a contract, period.
The only way a person can get this phone without a contract is if they pay the $600, then pay the ETF to break the contract. That's $775, the same as this Prada phone.
Since that pretty much levels the field as far as cost goes, next thing to compare is feature set. iPhone is the clear winner in this regard, you just can't say that a device with 8 gigs of storage ...

yeah but the thing is, when you shell out that $775 you're getting an unlocked phone, right? if you shell out that same amount for the iphone you get a phone that you cant use. period. the iphone is not unlockable so it'd be a waste to do that unless you want to put it on ebay.
There you go, you've just proven my point!
From what I understand Cingular had to work out some things on their end in order for certain features (like visual voicemail) on this phone to work. So you're right, this phone would lose some of it's functionality if you were to break contract with Cingular and take it to another provider like T-Mobile.
In other words, breaking your contract and paying the ETF wou...
