Word on the Net has it that the LG Prada masterpiece will make its official debut in less than 3 weeks on the 22nd of March. The phone, which is one of the iPhone's top competitors, is expected to go for around $60 with a contract. No word yet on whether it'll come to the States though it wouldn't surprise me if we saw a few celebrities toting it around town.

What OS does this phone run? Can I install third party apps?
If not, than this phone will be SOL in less than 3 months when another phone comes out with better functionnality.
Any word on WIFI on this thing?
I am curious to see if it runs Windows Mobile 5/6. If it does, you will have access to tons of third party apps.
Yoshi don't mean to ruin your plans but none of the screenshots show any familiar winmo apps. They may have a very good skin for everything and could still be running WinMo underneath but I'm guessing they went all cheapo on this one and used a large res version of the OS they use on their phones.
I think their idea of an open phone is one that runs J2ME apps.. Yeah right.
Why would you bother posting the cost in US$ Dollars if its not coming ot the states. That number is also based on foriegn currency, and dosnt reflect any price points for the US.
PS, its ugly and its mother dresses it funny.
ITS custom not winmo... though the meizu runs WinMo6 with a sexy skin, and also is the first to rock that killer 720x480 3.3" screen ooooohhhh the sexyness i just so home the minione from miezu ends up having wifi ... me needs wifi
$60 ZOMG!!11uno
Preorder'd!
What is the MP3 player like?
I was thinking of getting a new Car Stereo with IPOD to link to the IPhone when it comes out, but maybe this could be a more interesting option (and even cheaper, especially when I don't have to pay the premium for iPod connecting stereos)
I thinks he meant $600 dollars
I wanted to get a new car stereo to link upto the iPhone when it comes out (like you can with iPods).
But if this one is good enough, maybe an MP3 Car Stereo to Prada Phone will be cheaper..
Yer $600 sounds more like it lol, I'm in the UK but i can't have it till my dam 18 month term contract runs out, and then it will most likely be replaced lol!
No, it's about 60 USD with contract. Check the original article.
"It will be pushed to the contract mass market and is unlikely to cost more than £20 to £30 with a 200 cross network minutes per month deal."
how smart can it be for $60? wouldn't that also be too cheap for celebrities despite the prada name?
$60 for 200 minutes.. and that's in europe. Thats not that good.
Well at least we'll have the Prada if the iPhone fails.
