LG KE850 with Touchscreen Display

Not much is known about the new LG KE850 phone, as few details have been revealed. However, the phone was recently awarded a Product Design Award for 2007 by International Forum Design, and through them we have learned some information about the phone.

The LG KE850 is also known as the "Prada phone". I'm not exactly sure why, perhaps because of its luxurious features. Seemingly beating the Apple iPhone to the punch, it features a large 3-inch touchscreen display. There are no buttons as on traditional mobile phones; to dial, text, and conduct other business on the phone you will use the touchscreen feature.

The phone als features a leather case, which contrasts with the high glossy black and metal texture deco and creates a sense of luxury. Duplicate injection technology was used for the display screen, and the body deploys glass fiber to reinforce its strength.
