The Prada Phone

This probably seemed like a lot better idea a month ago: LG announced today that it will join with Prada to release a new edition mobile phone before the end of this year. The latest fashion accessory is appealing, with a touch-screen and a slide-out keyboard, but with new smart phones forthcoming from Blackberry and Google and a price tag of 600 Euros, it’s unclear exactly who will buy it. In this economy, consumers may be better off waiting to see if a Sears phone hits the market.
