I have the LG Prada which is very similar to this. 
 
Are a few things that annoy me about it (just little things that could of been done better to make the phone easier to use), and the touch screen does take a few weeks to get used to it, but other than that its a great phone which looks decent and does what its meant to (text and call people!!).

if they have ironed out a few of the problems then could be a great phone.  
 
I wasnt really arsed with what else it did aslong as it phoned and text, and it does both well (other than an annoying thing when texting that annoys me   )

Just when inputting text their is no button to select another letter from the same button right after another - so if I wanted to input A and then B - so have to wait for it to move onto the next space before typing it in!

some phones have a button to move onto the next space, so can continue texting and not have to wait, but this doesnt, ot atleast when you do press the arrow to move onto the next space it moves two spaces so then have to go back one to carry on with that word. 
 
Its an obvious problem that they should of noticed during testing.

Is the qwerty not a little small to use with your fingers? Or does this have a pen type thing like some PDAs?
