LG KS500

The all new LG KS500 is one of those handsets from LG that may not impress you with its first looks but certainly has a bundle of features that will surely gonna be attractive to an end user. This cool looking slider comes with a 3 MegaPixel camera, a QVGA display, GPS reciever, multimedia player and certainly an attractive price tag.

It's a bit of an oddity in our opinion, as the KS500 is very similar in specification to the existing KT520 slider, which also has HSDPA and a slighly better camera. This new device from LG is NOT a smartphone. The LG KS500 is the first handset by the South Korean company to feature an optical touchpad. It helps navigation through the menus or the web browser.
The LG KS500 is a tri-band GSM phone which offers dual-band UMTS/HSDPA support. Measuring 102.8 x 49.2 x 14.9 mm doesn't really make it the most compact chap on the block, but still it's nothing too big.

We are not sure about the exact price tag yet, but this one is definately gonna be a low cost competitor in the market.

LG Prada II

The first LG Prada or the LG KE850 which was just considered as a fashion phone itself sold over a million units. Imagine what this phone could have done if it was rich in features. That is all about the all new LG PRADA II or the LG KF 900. Although the LG Prada II which looks similar to the original LG Prada, its much more sophisticated with rich enhanced features.

The bissgest difference that this successor of the LG PRADA has is its side slide QWERTY keyboard which is gonna be quite useful as compared to the older version and its definately going to compete against the smartphone giants such as HTC and blackberry.

The LG KF900 also adds a 5 megapixel camera with a Schneider-Kreuznach lens. Other features include 3G compatibility with video calling, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, full HTML browser and WiFi.

The display is still a 240 x 400 pixel touch-sensitive panel, and the LG KF900 can play back a variety of media types including MP3, WMA, AAC, MPEG4, H.263 and H.264 files. Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900). WCDMA 900/2100, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA connectivity
When we look at the features overall, here is what it looks like:

3″ WQVGA 400×240 px TFT touchscreen
5 megapixel camera
front camera for video calls
Wi-Fi b/g connectivity
USB 2.0, Bluetooth
Full HTML browsing
FM-Radio
TV-out
microSDHC memory card slot (up to 8GB)
slide-out QWERTY keyboard

With competition more intense than ever in the smartphone market, LG PRADA is going to be one of the tough competitors. But can this phone get the edge over others? Well, for that we have to just wait and see....
