Looking as good as it gets.

Recently, I wrote about the LG KE850 touchscreen mobile phone, a revolutionary type of phone due the eccentric way one has to type on the phone. If you want to write a number, a text message or anything you may think about, you have to write it on using the touchscreen, a way of dealing with things long ago implemented on the smartphones, PDAs and every other type of phone providing its users with any OS you can think of.

The extraordinary thing about this handset, besides the way one has to use it is the fact that as the rumors say, this will be the phone Prada chose to "edit", so to say, after the deal it has signed with LG to jointly develop a new iconic cellphone, a phone that as they have said, will remain in the memory of the worldwide mobile phone users for a long time after its official launch.

The guys that uncovered the black fog kept until now by the two companies upon this subject, are the ones you can find HERE and I want to say a big "Thank You" for the photos and the info they put out in the open for our enjoyment.

The published photos show the KE850 all dressed up in a black Prada suit and a Prada themed GUI that will surely make you get all anxious and get you wondering around all day with this handset walking all over your thoughts.

There is another reason that makes the Prada phone worthy of the "innovating" tag I put on his forehead at the beginning.

Remember the Aeon mobile phone concept I wrote about some time ago? Remember about the interface that changes according to what application you have on the phone's screen? Well, this is exactly what you will be getting if you will buy this cellphone.

Can't wait to hear the price the Prada handset will have when it will hit the stores? The rumors say it will be somewhere between $400 and $500 and also that the handset will be launched at first in five select European countries, with a US launch planned later on.

From what I've heard about this handset so far, it seems the things are looking more than good for the LG-Prada joint-venture recently announced and I guess the future isn't that far after all, is it?
