Advantages: Large screen

Disadvantages: Poor touch screen

I decided i had to have something designer so i opted for the Prada phone by LG. I had a play with it in the shop and was excited by the fact that it was a touch screen, so i took the 18 month contract out with Orange. Big mistake!! I have had the phone for 7 months and still find it difficult to use. Texting can be a problem as it has predictive text which you can take off but sometimes the screen can be very unresponsive and you miss words out, especially if you don't put your finger pad directly onto the screen. Also when trying to change the predictive text words you have to press the up and down buttons on the side of the phone which took me about 2 months to work out as the instructions weren't very good.The phone is very stylish as it has the Prada logo on it and comes with a nice hard leather case. It has a camera function which is very poor as it has to focus first before it will take the photo by which time the subject( my 2 yr old) has moved or stopped doing what you wanted to catch on film. When calling you can put the phone onto loud speaker but this takes time and you have to ask people to wait while you press a button twice and then touch the screen before it can be put on. It comes with a mp3 player which i have not found a problem with as it just put the music on to the pc then downloaded it onto the phone. I have now got used to the phone but feel that if you want a touch screen phone there are better ones out there as this was the first one and all the faults may be ironed out by now (hopefully)

Summary: you can buy a better touch screen phone
