LG KE850 Prada Unlocked Cell Phone with 2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--International Version with No Warranty (Black)

While I applaud the condition of the product when received, two items were incorrectly sent, the charger was particularly slow & as such I had 2 order another, the memory card is incorrect & cannot be used.

Worst thing i have ever bought, i bought it brand new & the screen was cracked internally, It was also a total pain texting on it it wasnt sensitive at ALL! I returned it the same night & my money isnt even back in my credit card i would never reccomend buying anything from amazon. Oh & they sent me a charger 4 a different country other then the USA Who does that? I wish i could rate it a negative star cause it sucked big time.

Great idea teaming with PRADA, but your paying 4 the name. It had terrible reception - returned product.

This phone is gorgeous, I love it, BUT it has some terrible connection problems. I am thinking about getting rid of it because I can't have a phone that doesn't work

pictures taken with the phone are terrible , any blackberry is much more functionable ,useful ,and ,easier 2 work with , at the end i must say i was very disappointed with this purchasse.
