Unlike LG's normally high-end full touch devices, the new handset is designed to be inexpensive enough for those who would opt for a conventional phone without sacrificing some of the core touch features: it has the same three-inch touch display as the Prada, Viewty, and similar phones but a simpler design that has m... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/29/lg.kp500/ Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/26/lg.prada.ii.november.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/lgprada2-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG's Prada II touchscreen media phone already has largely fixed launch plans, a tip to Pocket-lint asserts. Official statements from LG have so far only slated an update for the fall, but an alleged insider now says the touchscreen device will ship in November and that Europe will be the first to pick up the Prada sequel, as it did for the original phone in spring 2007.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/26/lg.prada.ii.november.leak/ Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/24/lg.tops.prada.ii/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/lgprada2-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG today said that it has sold one million Prada phones worldwide, making it one of the Korean company's best-selling individual touchscreen devices.

Individually, the device has fared relatively poorly compared to its Apple rival's over six million b... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/24/lg.tops.prada.ii/ Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/22/lg.kc910/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/lgkc910.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG this morning surprised the phone market with an early look at the KC910. Considered a spiritual successor to the KU990 Viewty, the new device has both LG's highest-resolution camera at eight megapixels but is still thin enough at 14mm (0.55in) to fit comfortably in a pocket.

The device is still in mid-development but has been spotted in an image with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that would address criticisms of slow typing with the first Prada while hiding the keyboard away to maintain a similar appearance in normal use.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/20/lg.prada.ii.leak/ Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/21/lg.sells.7m.touch.phones/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/lgtouchscreenphones.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG on Monday revealed that it has sold about seven million touchscreen cellphones since the company first introduced a full touch device through the Prada Phone in early 2007.
