The PRADA phone by LG arrives New Zealand

Are you sick of waiting the iPhone? Are you a big fan of PRADA? Do you want a phone that not many people have? The LG PRADA phone is here - in NZ. Vodafone NZ has brought in 420 units and only available from Vodafone online store. The price is NZ$1,299 (although you could buy it from parallel importers at a much cheaper price). Will I buy it? Not really, I'd rather wait for the USD$399 iPhone.
