'LG KE850 is a cool, unique phone with lots of style and fashion sense.'
'And the hype makes sense: not only is the phone slim and beautiful, it's also a touch screen phone similar to the much-ballyhooed and yet-to-be-released Apple iPhone.'
'If the price is not an issue for you and you are looking for a phone with an exquisite look, rather than the enhanced functionality of a multimedia device like N95 or of a mobile computer like a PocketPC, then this is a good phone for you'
'using the Prada phone as a regular calling handset proved easy enough.'
'The supplied headphones are pretty decent, but if you don't like them, the phone has a standard 3.5mm mini-jack so you can swap them for any pair you like, which is handy.'
'bad design and buggy performance'
'include a bunch of multimedia functions'
'the camera and some aspects of the general user interface were disappointing.'
'the EDGE speeds of the BlackBerry 8800 seemed pokey'
'Text editing also benefits greatly from the ability to zoom around with one quick motion of the thumb on the trackball, rather than having to click a dozen times on a d-pad or nudge a joystick around for a minute.'
'The level of serious multimedia support is woefully inadequate, bringing to mind the audio/video "support" seen on the Palm devices of two or three years ago.'
'The device can be sluggish at times, especially with numerous applications open..'
'It's a bit tough to slide the card in, and it goes in upside down for some reason, but at least it's not under the battery.'
'It was even easy to see in sunlight, something that can't be said about most screens.'
'The HTC's rear-firing speakerphone is more like a PA system: extremely loud (the phone vibrates with the power of the sound and folks in the next room will likely hear the call with no problems even at half volume).'
'the 1.3-megapixel camera is relatively poor; photos had a greenish tint and seemed a bit dark, with evidence of exposure, color noise, and contrast problems both indoors and out.'
'If you include photos in your contacts, then it will even display the picture, though arguably at so small a size that it's virtually useless.'
