LG Sells One Million Prada Phones

LA and Prada announced that they have now sold one million Prada phones globally since the device launched back in March 2007—a stunning number for a niche handset.

It looks and works somewhat like the original iPhone, and it was quite expensive at its launch at $849. On the plus side, it’s unlocked, meaning that you can pop any T-Mobile or AT&T SIM into it as well as use it abroad with inexpensive prepaid SIM cards. It also features a 2-megapixel camera, a 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD, and a microSD slot for listening to music on the go.

Rumors have been circulating about a second-generation Prada II, which reportedly will include a slideout, hardware QWERTY keyboard and finally include 3G network access.
