LG KE850 Prada review
Network and connections
The new LG KE850 model, signed by Prada, is a "Tri-Band" GSM cell phone, able to operate on the 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz frequencies. Data transfer is safe and reliable thanks to EDGE support, which is added to GPRS support. Both technologies, however, offer the user a decidedly lower bandwidth compared to what is offered by third generation terminals (UMTS and HSDPA). This model, moreover, is equipped with Bluetooth wireless connectivity and an infrared port (IrDa). To connect the KE850 to a computer, the dedicated USB cable can instead be used. The 3-inch touchscreen display is very beautiful.
Design and features
LG Prada KE850 is a beautiful "candybar" with a monoblock body, which reflects the elegance of the well-known fashion house whose name it bears. It is a light and particularly slim device (only 12 mm), with slightly squared lines. It is available in the pleasant matte black color with Silver finishes. The antenna, being integrated into the body of the phone, is invisible to the user and does not affect the overall handling.
Main features
LG Prada KE850 offers the user various interesting features. For example, it is possible to use the speakerphone during conversations. It is also possible to record voice Memos, while voice call functionality is not provided. Regarding messaging, the KE850 allows the management of Sms, Ems, Mms and E-Mail. The T9 predictive text system assists the user in entering text. Memory is a generous 256 MB and is expandable via microSD cards. The phone is finally equipped with alarm, calculator, stopwatch and internal agenda functions so as not to miss important appointments. Lastly, the model is enhanced by the presence of a built-in FM radio.
Entertainment and multimedia
LG KE850 offers a wide range of multimedia content signed by Prada. It is also possible to use ringtones and music tracks in MP3 and AAC format, as well as MP4 videos. There are also some pre-installed games and, thanks to Java (J2ME) support, it is possible to get new ones, if needed, by downloading them from the network through the WAP browser. LG Prada KE850 integrates an excellent digital camera, located on the back of the device and surrounded by a chrome trim. This one is equipped with a sensor of as much as 2 Megapixels, with autofocus and built-in flash, which allows capturing excellent quality photographs. The maximum resolution achievable is 1600x1200 pixels. The device is also equipped with digital zoom and brightness control, as well as video recording.
