Despite rumours to the contrary, LG has announced the next generation Prada smartphone for European availability by the end of the month, accompanied by a Bluetooth-enabled watch called the Prada Link (model LG-LBA-T950) that flashes call notifications and shows SMS messages. 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, 5 megapixel camera, haptic feedback, video calling, slider QWERTY keypad, and a 240 x 400 3″ touchscreen make for a pretty stylish package. The Link isn’t anything new, since we’ve seen a few Bluetooth watches break that ground, but this is a fine accessory to launch for the fashionable types mindful of social faux pas like checking your phone too much at chic gatherings. Europeans can expect to pay 600 Euros for the phone and 299 Euros for the Link. Youch. For more pictures, specs and video, check out Prada’s ridonkulously posh flash site.
