The LG KE850, also known as the LG Prada, is a touchscreen mobile phone made by LG Electronics. It was first announced on December 12, 2006 and was created in collaboration with Italian luxury designer Prada. It was made official in a press release on January 18, 2007. Sales started in May 2007, retailing for about $777 (600 euros). It is the first mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen. The KE850 sold 1 million units in the first 18 months. A second version of the phone, the LG Prada II (KF900) was released December 2008. The LG Prada was announced shortly before Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007. After the release of the iPhone the head of the LG Mobile Handset R&D Center was quoted saying he believed Apple had stolen the idea from the KE850 after it was announced as part of the iF Design Award.
