The LG Prada is Verizon’s Answer to the iPhone: Good Luck, Bro

vzwprada.jpg

The $600 LG Prada is Verizon Wireless’ answer to the $500 Apple iPhone… OK, you can stop laughing now.

It’s not that the Prada isn’t a good phone or anything—clearly it’s deserving of all the hype. But the thought of VZW “answering” to anything borders on the absurd. Can you imagine the Prada with really hottt V-Cast Tunezzz on it? There’s no reason why the Prada couldn’t, and shouldn’t, be a fine alternative to the iPhone, but history tells us that VZW loves to screw with phones to the point of exhaustion.

“Good luck, bro”

Are they featuring Lance Armstrong in the ads for this?

What a pathetic “response”. Then again, I expected nothing less from VZW. I hope at&t switches over 2 or 3 million people from VZW to punish them for their stupidity for passing over the iPhone, in favor of their stupid VCast.

the lg prada like the nokia sirocco 8800 is all hype & no features i suggest people don’t waste their time & money on these two model. The iphone is a great phone but while locked with cingular/at&t its not something to get attached to once it become available in the unlocked verity the fun will start.

well here is a thought if you are someone who just wants to show off your prada w/matching shoes than go for it =)

Like VZN will allow people to easily load their own music vs. buying the rip-off, over-priced VCast crap.

As long as they continue to do braindead things and treat their customers like ATM machines with pay-per-use EVERYTHING, they will continue to lose people.

Personally, I’m tired of having to pay 25 cents to get a photo off my VZN phone because they’ve crippled the Bluetooth (yes, I have it hacked, but pretend I didn’t like most people). I’ll be shopping for a new carrier when my contract is up in the next few months because of this complete and utter disrespect for their paying customers.

and what kind of name is “prada”? its a purse name, what guy wants to walk down the street and say, “ohh, check out my new prada!” and his friends look at him like :O. seriously. VZW lost it all right there, and theier just digging their hole deeper and deeper…

pman, i hope youre not serious. its called “prada” because the company prada designed it, and prada does more than just make purses.

secondly,
” i read somewhere that someone at Verizon said, “Yeah we’ll have Prada … but that’s not the secret iPhone killer everyone’s talking about.” ”

The prada most likely won’t be a mac so more likely to get viruses because mac makes up so little of the computers who’s gonna make a virus to effect it

FACT: The prada phone by LG was released TWO MONTHS before the Iphone. Do your research, losers. Apple copied. By the way, this thing will sell. Prada has a much more established name than Apple. Apple computers suck horribly. LG is a better company than Apple…isn’t the Iphone Apple’s only phone?? And Verizon IS the best network, bar none. Goodnight Iphone!

Prada is a European phone, of course made for the European market which is largely if not COMPLETELY GSM-based.. So, there won’t be a CDMA version seeing as they won’t even release the GSM version in the states..

BY THE BY, “wanderer”..

I don’t know where you’re living but here in North America, phones typically don’t get viruses.. ever..

Also, they aren’t “mac” or “pc” phones :S idiot.
