Prada Creates Cell Phone
Tuesday December 19, 2006
Following in the footsteps of other fashion/technology collaborations such as the Dolce Gabbana RAZR for Motorola and the Diane Von Furstenberg Sidekick 3 for T-Mobile, Italian fashion house Prada has teamed up with worldwide technology leader LG, to create a cell phone.
It will combine high-end technology with avant-garde designs. Features are set to include an advanced touch screen interface that will completely eliminate keypads. The initial launch is planned for early 2007 and will begin in Europe, then the United States.

Kind of crazy but cool!
how much would it cost in the USA?
I think that it is interesting that everything is now being centralized around what type and kind of phone you have. Even though I do like the thought of a touch pad and eliminating the keypad I think that as long as the cell phone does the purpose for which you have intended it to do you shouldn’t want ot waste your money on something just because it is a name brand.
