First pics of the LG KE850-based Prada cellphone

While it was but a week ago that we got word of a forthcoming mobile from LG and Prada, the first round of "official photos" (read: blurred almost beyond recognition) have already surfaced, and it will purportedly be based on the mysterious LG KE850. Foregoing the typical LG-branding, this black beauty looks to have Prada's fingerprints all over it, and instead of the typical keypad, it'll reportedly sport a touchscreen display that "changes based on the application being used." Moreover, the handset will feature a predictable minimalist design, boasting an all black color scheme and a simple black / white contrasting interface. Although we don't know a great deal about the feature set just yet, it supposedly only has a minimal amount of onboard memory, and while prices have "yet to be confirmed," we're led to believe the pricetag will be quite a bit lower than we're all secretly expecting when it hits "five European countries" in March / April of next year.

So will it say "Prada" or "LG" on the phone? I'm confused.

Most likely LG will let out Prada phones...., it would be desirable to look characteristics of this phone already

In terms of form and interface, it works for me (assuming there's a bitty little stylus tucked in there somewhere). But I don't want to pay for the PRADA name (don't do it with my clothing, certainly wouldn't with my phone) and I'm disappointed in the light feature set. I do hope there'll be more phones like this, with a little more oomph onboard (decent processors and memory) with MP3 and PIM capabilities. Would be great to stash my little black convergence device in my little (tiny) black bag and go all day into night.
