  • This apparently is the first all-touch phone, but I think it's silly to say Apple copied the design. The products were released 6 months apart, but it's obvious seeing the refinement of the iPhone that it was not a rushed job and suggests Apple was working on it for a long time as well.

    Even though this phone is much less refined than the iPhone, I think LG deserves credit for trying and having the foresight to create an all touch phone. It's sad they aren't doing much these days.

  • @kockgunner Yeah yeah,sure,they never copy anything but their products looks the same as "others" released in the past...fuck aple(not a hater I have an iphone and an ipod)...but damn...

  • @ADevilNeverCry Huh? The phones look completely different.

  • @kockgunner Are you kidding me? oh please...

  • first capacitive touch screen phone. crazy!

  • LG may have done this first; but Apple did it right.  Numbers don't lie.

  • @DMHagwood Actually, if a company have a slavish cult that would pay for anything that would have an Apple logo on it, numbers CAN lie. Just look at the CoD-series, even though it sells like crazy, most gamers that are over 12 years old agree that it really, REALLY isn't that good of a series.

  • @Lammetjonsson Many people didn't even know what Apple was before iPod or iPhone. It didn't grow in popularity because of a logo. It grew in popularity because it's actually good. Most people like things that are simple, elegant, yet sophisticated, and just works. Apple pulls that off well and it has brought them great success. They went from nearly nothing in early 2000 and Microsoft still dominated and now the current value of Microsoft doesn't touch Apple's. Big switch.

  • @DMHagwood if something is simple how can it be sophisticated?

  • @joewannabe1 Easy, anything that allow people to do many tasks that are usually more sophisticated or advanced with ease makes it simple and sophisticated.  Even with Macs, operations that usually take more steps to complete in Windows have been simplified in Mac OS. It's all in an intuitive interface.

  • @DMHagwood what about android? im an xiphone user. i think the better description is that it has a user friendly interface. even on my ipod touch i dont feel anything sophisticated.

    but i still accept ur opinion. on another note. what do you say about the design? its clearly obvious the iphone 4 design is not innovative. and what about apple suing samsung on design? wtf is that fair?

  • @joewannabe1 Obama doesn't need to change the designs. Their design philosophy is simple and elegant. Some of these phones look like freaks of nature. The lawsuits is business as usual for these companies. I don't pay attention. These things happen all the time. Each company has people who's job is to look after their company's interests and that's all it is. Still, the only way for competitors to be competitive is to take cues from other designs. It's just the way of business.

  • @DMHagwood obama?  why does obama come in this convo?

    theres a difference between taking 'cues' and 'copying'

    do you realise the irony here? apple sues samsung for copying them, yet this video shows so much.

  • I think It's hilarious people compare this to the first iphone. First touchscren phone? Not this goofy POS... Visorphone.. palm treo... Windows mobile.. all ahead of this beeping dork-o-phone. Nice soundtrack on the Vid though..

  • @thatsahughjass Please be sarcastic about the soundtrack.

  • @thatsahughjass

    Appfag is mad.

  • .... phone and no hype, I believe that if LG really put their head into it to hype up the phone and had a descent amount of support for it that there would have been crazy amount of these phones in peoples pockets. But Apple did beat them in terms of marketing the iphone to masses ans having much more support for it.

  • only reason that this phone didn't sell much is because it didn't have much advertising behind it and there was really no pitch to the

  • LG PRADA was manufactured when the world population doesn't know how to appreciate touch screen phones yet. Apple managed to convinced the whole world on benefit of using the touch screen phone. Now Samsung becomes more innovative, they (Apple) got scared. Actually apple is scared of competition. At the time PRADA was out in the market, I couldn't afford the phone.

  • @umobutu is the PRADA a smartphone?

  • if apple werent lying to us all and being all cocky saying I invented everything. i would actually support them if they werent ... dickheads

  • And we're stuck in the U.S. with the crap version of this: the VU. It doesn't have a keyboard, the touch screen is crap, and it forces you to use an onscreen dialer for entering text. **** you LG for not giving us this awesome device.

  • This is the mother of all modern capacitive touch screen phones . I do believe this touchscreen technology would go down the drain if it wasn't apple adopted it and enhanced it .

  • Which OS is behind it? Just curious.

  • LG actually sued Apple - similar to what Apple is suing Samsung for now - copying their design. When the Prada was released it won awards for its innovative new design. Apple iphone 4 - 2010 = LG Prada - 2006.

  • It's interesting that Apple is now suing Samsung over the look and feel of the iphone. But clearly the LG Prada - released a year prior to the iphone is truly one of the first touch screen phones that used icons, etc. Unfortunately LG didn't have Apple's huge marketing arm behind them. Once again Apple loves to copy/steal and say that they invented it...

  • @jwd0808 the first phone that used icons? O.o

  • To operate the FM radio do you need the headset and remote plugged in functioning as an antenna therefore prohibiting listening to the radio on the speakers or can you purchase another antenna that allows using the speakers and if so where can I buy one?

  • I bought this phone in october, all the paint off the back has come off, it's really light, the buttons are starting to come off, it has shitty settings and no storage option, doesn't send or recieve picture messages, and won't store music? even though it's got a memory card. Is this with every one of this phone, or is it just mine?

  • no slide?

  • all u tht say iphone stole it are stupid.. there are all sorts of " TOUCH PHONES"

    iphone is a computer in your hand. theese are phones.2 very different things, iphone looks way nice and better then this. There were TOUCH PHONES long before iphone. doesnt mean apple stole the design.. Take in mind, they look NOTHING ALIKE.u realize, all this technology came from one spot and spread to different companies.

  • @LynkAkaFoolish please tell me your trolling?

  • @LynkAkaFoolish I'm hoping you're joking.

  • @LynkAkaFoolish yeah then why is apple suing samsung? btw they won aswell. why? cos theyre scared. samsungs beggining to collapse the apple giant. haha sory overexageration. but yeah

  • @LynkAkaFoolish iphones a computer?? thats it now i have heard everything.. *shoots myself*

  • I meant to say prada not Pravda

  • wow I'm surprised people here are saying the iphone4 is the same as their Pravda from over 4 years ago. Great innovation Apple your tech is still four years behind. I wish Nokia would Sue em and put apple in their place like Microsoft did.

  • @Justin10473 and @zfjquery The Prada is indeed capacitive, and was the first phone with a capacitive touchscreen.

  • So the apple copy this phone

  • This is obviously fake. Everybody knows that Apple make the first capacitive touch-screen phone.

  • @Justin10473

    Fake?....are you an Apple fanboy?

    The prada was announced in Dec 2006, whereas the iphone was announced in jan 2007 - plus the iphone is a copy of the prada design.

    LG prada's designer did make a deal of it when the iphone was unveiled.

  • @prodigytechus

    Sarcasm*

  • @Justin10473 this is an resistive touch screen phone but the concept remains the same i.e no physical keyboard whatsoever !!

  • @Justin10473 No they didn't...

  • @Justin10473 fake? LOL apple was not the first on anything. you really need to search in google before you open your mouth. idiot.

  • @o0zeroeffect0o

    Sarcasm isn't a language you speak, is it?

  • no qwerty?

  • Come my lady, come come my lady, your my butterfly, sugar! baby!

  • And the style is the same as the new iPhone 4 which I now have. iPhone was great but after owning every model I'm glad the style is like that of my old prada!

  • I remember having this phone when it was released. A great phone back in the day and e

  • hey my prada has an ascending ringer...do you know how to switch it to normal?

  • i always buy alllll of prada sooo im gonna buy this phone and the other one(lg prada 2)

  • LG sucks at making phones

  • I wanna this mobile theme to my COOKIE.... damn

  • that's right iphone copyed LG prada .. i had this phone in the bigining of "07" to so .. they copyed :)

  • emmm How much is this phone ha?

  • @torresmilochomil $200 from Amazon new, and $115 used, amzn.to /LG-Prada

  • Looks nothing like the iPhone, Hardware, software. The "Prada" looks like a bigger version of the LG vue, the reason this phone didn't "get big" BECAUSE IT SUCKS, iPhone actually revolutionized the phone market industry because it's next generation thinking, the LG prada is literally a phone with a touch screen, and iPhone next generation software and hardware, WHY didn't the Motorola droid and the MASS-PRODUCED android isn't getting called the iPhone clone ? I know why because all the people h

  • @figger48

    The point is Apple wasn't the first to make a capacitive touchscreen phone, which is exactly what the iPhone is.

  • @figger48 On terms of design Apple did copy the LG Prada phone except for the buttons at the bottom. Just take a look at where the camera is on both phones and where all the buttons are. In terms of software Apple did not copy, iphone is a smartphone and LG Prada is not.

    Android isn't called the iphone clone it's because they innovated a lot of things and made it look and feel very unique.

  • Can you turn off those annoying sounds for when you dial a number or text?I don't really like those ringing sounds.

  • Looking at this it seems that the iphone copied Prada for the 4G case rather than the 3G

  • @TheForge10 It is not 4G it is called the iphone 4, it doesn't support 4G.

  • I was about to buy this, then , BOOM...the iPhone 4 was born.

  • @angel12235 This phone came out over 3 years ago. What r u smoking?

  • @aminul1984 I was saying, because I couldnt afford the iphone, then, my parents volunteered to buy me one. haha

  • I don't see the comparrison...

  • The iphone 4 is now with the exact same design as lg prada but whitout he 3 buttons

  • @andrefansteauanr1

    TY TY TY!!! I'm trying to school fools now about the so called "innovative" iPhone...

  • @dreamcastdc not really the iphone was announced before this date..

  • @abbaroc iphone was announced in q1 2007 and lg sent prada to IF design award in september 2006 and it also has capacitive touch...that also means that iphone wasn't the first phone with capacitive

  • @MonkeyMinno Typical Apple faggot fanboy. Loser who wears out of date stylish clothes, thinks that it is still in fashion. Always talks about how they edited their videos on their Mac. Loser gay hairstyle and cannot speak properly or comment properly without having a few swear words, very uncivilised when talking and makes no use of logic because they don't have any.

    I am not talking about the Logic software made by Apple, maybe this word is not known to u outside of ur Apple bubble.

  • @aminul1984 HAHAHAHAHAHA APPLE FAGGOT BOY LOL

  • @aminul1984 Typical mindless android drone. And it's civilized, Not civilised.

  • @spikeman23 Typical American, you do realise that English English came first and that we spell it "civilised"...

  • @J03SH4W In Ireland, we tend to spell it 'civilised' although I have seen '-ized' popping up in British English a lot these days. I think American English is taking over especially with non-native speakers. :/

  • @GaeilgeSpraoi I have also noticed that and ridicule/correct the people when they spell it wrong in real life and sometimes online.

  • @J03SH4W Hey, don't bash on all Americans! I am perfectly aware that there are spelling differences for some words in American English and English English! :O

  • @vampireweekend4eva12 Haha, sorry! :( I didn't mean to use a stereotype, I just have to when there's close-minded people like that on here!

  • @MonkeyMinno actually faggot. if you do a little search like a good little bitch. you will see images of the lg prada appeared in dec of 2006, and official press was jan of 2007. The first generation iPod Touch was launched on September 5, 2007. apple had almost a whole year to copy. you'v been told cunt
