Dumb but pretty: LG Prada II made official
In a day and age where smartphones are king, there doesn’t seem to be much room or excitement for devices that lack the multi-tasking power of platforms such as WM 6.1, S60, and OS 4.6/4.7. So how is a dumbphone expected to get by? If Prada II by LG is anything of an indicator, it will take one hell of a pretty face and a rather formidable spec sheet. A touch screen slider, the Prada II features a dual-band 7.2Mbps HSDPA (850/2100 MHz) radio, Wi-Fi, 5 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens and a full-HTML browser. Just as we called a while back. While no pricing has been announced, it is widely speculated that the final retail price will be around $800 USD/600€.

If there’s one thing that I’ve consistently seen in my experience, it’s that non-smartphones that claim to have “full HMTL browsers” never have full HTML browsers. There are always compromises.
Like I said, this has only been my experience; as an American cell phone user, I’m sure there’s plenty of Europe-only and Asia-only dumbphones that actually have full HTML browsers.
I just haven’t seen it yet.
