Live from IFA 2007 : LG KS20 review August 31, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. First of all, let us clarify a confusion that some people reporting about mobility, seem to spread: the Windows Mobile powered KS20, that looks a little bit like LG Prada is NOT a Prada series phone at all! Firstly LG Prada phones are presented at trade shows with use of models (here: one of models, who presents LG Prada at IFA 2007):
... and LG KS20 is being presented by regular employees of LG, like for example this guy at IFA 2007 (second from the left, the one in white shirt):
Furthermore although both LG Prada and LG KS20 have touch-screens, the user interface in LG Prada is designed together with Prada fashion house and user interface in LG KS20 consists of Windows Mobile 6 Professional:
... combined with small enhancements from LG (like home screen plugin):
All in all LG KS20 makes impression of a very high-class, noble, phone:
.. that however is so shiny that finger prints are easily visible on it (see photo above with Windows Mobile version number!). Despite having HSDPA 3.6 Mbit/second this phone is very light and thin:
Here one can see the mini-stand devoted to LG KS20, and the slogans with which, LG is trying to sell this phone:
Conclusion: contrary to what some journalists say, LG KS20 is not Prada and doesn't even belong to LG Prada family of phones. However LG KS20 is a very stylish and nice to use phone, that may appeal to people, who like to have phones that give them a feeling of having something that is high-class! Clearly LG KS20 is more stylish and has better high-class feeling, that no phone made by HTC can offer. However HTC offers advanced touch-screen technology for finger-based scrolling that LG KS20 doesn't have (we have tested it!). Anyway: LG KS20 is probably the most stylish Windows Mobile phone currently on the market... although some may argue that it is a matter of taste.
