Finally, the Prada 2 boasts a 5-megapixel camera that, in daylight, takes high-quality pictures, although it struggles in low light. The Prada 2's LED photo light doesn't illuminate subjects well enough, unless you're very close, which is disappointing.
Performance
The Prada 2's audio quality is good, sounding clear even when the volume is turned up high, and you can adjust the equaliser settings should you need to. The camera takes good pictures in daylight for MMS messages or medium-sized prints, but the lack of xenon flash means shots in low light aren't as good.
Battery life is quoted at 400 hours of standby time and 3 hours of talk time. We found that battery life goes up or down depending on the use of features such as Wi-Fi or HSDPA. Decreasing the screen's brightness and not using the phone's features too often will increase the battery life.
Conclusion
The LG Prada 2 KF900's responsive screen and nifty slide-out Qwerty keypad make it much better than its predecessor. HSDPA and Wi-Fi add oomph to the Internet experience, and, overall, we enjoyed using the Prada 2. It's disappointing that LG has yet to develop an app ecosystem, and the lack of GPS might annoy some, but we think this is one of LG's best phones yet.
If you're looking for a more app-driven experience, the iPhone 3G or T-Mobile G1 may be more suitable.

Good: The 5mp camera, interface, keyboard, fm radio, 3 inches touchscreen
Bad: No GPS
Comment: I like this phone because of this 7.2 Mbps HSDPA connectivity, 3″ touchscreen, side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera, full HTML Web browsing and Wi-Fi connectivity. I know there is many phone out there have the same specs but since LG release there Prada phone this better than the other one.
