If you’ve been following us, you will know we recently featured a gallery of the new LG flagship, the LG Prada II KF900 and it’s new sidekick bluetooth watch. Here’s now another gallery from Electricpig featuring them getting hands on with some of the cool functionalities of the new Prada phone. And don’t forget, that really cool bluetooth watch.

Also, let’s not forget, the new LG Prada II KF900 have also learnt some new tricks which makes it far more superior than its predecessor and probably a number of touchscreen phones that are currently available on the high streets…

Multi-touch
It’s not heavily advertised, and if we’re honest, it came as a bit of a surprise, but the new Prada Phone will react to more than one finger at a time… well, two fingers, anyway.

Delve into the photo viewer, web browser or document editor, and you’ll be able to pinch pictures, web pages and text to zoom in and out. Take that iPhone!
Measure G-force
As well as an accelerometer to rotate its screen, the Prada Phone measures G-force when you fling it about. It’s demonstrated in the built-in Flying Dices game, which ‘challenges’ you to roll a pair of dice, and although its name is grammatically incorrect, the way it measures force, not just orientation, is pretty neat.

Work with Prada Link
OK, it’s not such a big hidden talent, but it’s one that can’t be copied by any other phone. LG says the Prada Link Bluetooth watch will only function if it’s paired with a Prada Phone. A touch snobbish, if you ask us.

It’ll open almost anything
Considering it’s a fashion phone, the new Prada has an impressive set of codecs on board. As well as chewing up DivX movies, it’ll happily play MP3, MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WAV, 3GP, AMR-NB, WMA, MIDI, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, RA, RV, PDF, Text and Microsoft Office files. We reckon that’s more than any other ‘dumb’ handsets around, and puts the Prada on a level playing field with a lot of full-blown smartphones.

Multitasking maven
While the iPhone resolutely refuses to run more than one application at a time, the Prada Phone will mull over seven of them at once. OK, you’re going to struggle to find that many worth running simultaneously, since it lacks 3rd party app support, but still, it’s nice to have the option.
