LG let it slip out last month that it was working on a high-end fashion phone with Prada but yesterday has gone ahead and officially announced the PRADA Phone by LG.

As expected it is a stylish device and actually looks a great deal like the upcoming Apple iPhone.
Apple's iPhone may have grabbed more headlines, but it's still some five months from hitting store shelves.
The Prada Phone (LG KE850) features an "advanced touch interface," ringtones, preloaded content, mobile phone accessories and a leather case, all jointly designed by Prada and LG.

The PRADA Phone by LG introduces the world's first advanced touch interface which eliminates the conventional keypad making the overall usage experience a highly tactile one. An extra wide LCD screen maximizes visual impact, allowing the user to benefit from several key features of the phone.
