I’ve already admitted that my $20 cell phone that allows me to send texts, make and receive phone calls, calculate tips, and set an alarm clock is probably more than outdated. I’m not someone who goes gaga for gadgets, but there are a few that I would actually call sexy: Ferrari Testarossas, flat screens (although as they are the norm now they are losing their mystique for me), and Prada phones. Mac gadgets are sleek, I’ll give them that, but I don’t think I’d go as far as to say they are sexy.
Anyway, the product in question today is the soon to be released Prada II phone. This phone is set to launch in Europe at the end of November or for the Christmas season, but no one seems to be pinning down a date, which maybe should make Prada fans worry they’ll be waiting longer. And for those of us on this side of the Atlantic, what does that mean? More time to save up!

So, what can you expect from the Prada phone? A large touch-screen, a 5 MP camera, video capability, an MP3 player, a slide out QWERTY keyboard, and WIFI enabled Internet browsing. How much will this set you back? Well, if you were to fly to Europe and buy it, €600 (airfare not included). No word yet on the US market price, unfortunately.
Will I be among the first to get the phone? Definitely not. No offence Prada or LG; I just can’t justify spending that kind of money on something I could easily lose, get stolen, or drop into a toilet (don’t tell you me don’t know ANYONE that has happened to). Also, I might just freeze in front of something so advanced it can let me connect via Bluetooth my Prada link watch (for an additional €299).
