LG Electronic's latest product is LG KE850 Prada Black. The Capacitive Touch Screen Technology utilized in the creation of the LG KE850 Prada touch screen display makes use of a glass panel with a capacitive (charge storing) material coating. When you touch the display the change in frequency allows the circuits situated in the corners to calculate the coordinates of your touch and thus the controller "knows" exactly what item you've touched on the screen.
The positives are that you get a durable touch screen panel that is not affected by accumulated dirt and liquids plus the added benefit of high image clarity. Unfortunately, you have to use your fingers only; the screen cannot react to the touch of a stylus. But that provides for a nice "hands-on" experience.
When we tested the LG KE850 Prada in bright sunlight the display remained visible with almost no negative impact on usability. However, when it comes to performance under direct sunlight, we've seen much better displays by Nokia, which according to us leads the way in that respect.
In the dark the display performed great and we were more than happy with the adjustable brightness levels that allowed for comfortable experience in the dark. Two of the three control keys have backlighting of their own, but it stays on for much shorter time than the one of the display.
LG KE850's sound during conversations is nice and clear and we had no problem with the network signal either. The only downside to its user friendliness is that the ringer loudspeaker is a bit on the quiet side. You probably won't be able to hear it ringing in a noisy street. The problem is furthermore deepened by the default ringing style - ascending, which means that the handset will gradually reach the preset ringing volume starting from really quiet. That may easily lead to the other calling party hanging up on you before you've even realized that the phone rings.
During calls you don't have to worry about touching some items on the touch sensitive display with your cheek or ear, because the display gets turned off during calls. Please purchase on online
