I'm kinda disappointed in the user interface. Nothing too exciting. I have a Motorola A1200 (Ming) which is a touch screen as well. The menu on the LG Prada looks like nothing special.
It's like a regular menu system that has touchscreen tacked on. There's nothing you can do if it had the dialpad as a slider. As in, if it had a slider the 12 buttons then the touchscreen could be disabled and not make a difference on the phone. All those functions that you can do could be mapped to buttons on the dialpad.
Now that I think of it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a phone with LED dialpad where the image on the button changes depending on where it is on the menu. THAT would be impressive. Not a bad idea, but who knows how much it'd cost. I guess the LED could be black and white. But back to the topic, LG Prada menu system needs work.
“There's a certain feeling of wading through water with this phone, as every time we went exploring the menus, we were met with a delay long enough to make us doubt our keystrokes registered.”
