The PRADA Phone by LG 3.0 will be available at all three local carriers’ website – SingTel, M1, Starhub – from 7th January 2012. Fans who make an early purchase via the three local carriers will receive a limited edition PRADA-branded phone cradle worth SGD$228 -while stocks last.

The PRADA Phone by LG 3.0 will be available at SGD$1,088 without contract.

To cater to consumers who are keen to buy the phone without a contract, LG is also holding a one-day-only sale on 21st January, exclusively at its LG LIVE Store located at Marina Bay Sands. The purchasers at the one-day-only sale will also receive the limited edition PRADA cradle while stocks last.

First Thoughts:

  • Surprisingly functional for a luxury phone.
  • Supports the latest technologies like NFC (Yes NFC), 8MP Rear Camera, 1GHz Dual-Core, Advanced NOVA display, etc.
  • However, you can probably get a phone with the same specifications for 2/3 the price.
  • Upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 in 2Q 2012.
  • Very sturdy build, slim, with a big screen. Very similar to the successful Samsung GALAXY S II, except with the brand PRADA.
  • The accompanying accessories (aka PRADA branded) makes it a well-rounded brand.
  • Verdict? I say great phone for women!
 

SingTel Broadband on Mobile Prestige 75 will initially be available for USB dongle modems only.  It will be enhanced to support LTE-enabled smartphones and tablets when they become more readily available in the market.  Existing 21Mbps 3G Broadband on Mobile Premium 21 customers can upgrade to LTE with a top-up of $10 per month.

Sony Alpha SLT A77

I had the opportunity to try out the Sony Alpha SLT A77 during the SingTel Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix race in Singapore.
