LG has annouced a new silver LG Prada with new firmware allowing for a touch screen QWERTY keyboard!

It is a huge annoucement seeing most people want something other than the classy black for their Pradas. The biggest news is the QWERTY keyboard of course.

Before, on the older LG Pradas, people would only be able to type via the T9 Word keys on the screen. It was frustrating for texting and while using the internet.

Now, with the firmware adding the QWERTY keyboard, usability will be so much better. For those with the old black LG Pradas…Wait for someone to rip the firmware for you so you can add it to your black ones.

LG at the on-going Consumer Electronics Show, has put on display an LG Phone Watch! The watch is obviously for show and is a concept but it is indicitive of what is to come.

I see LG has put in a lot more work than Sony and other small Chinese brands for their watches as I see more implementation of messaging along with other necessities to fully use a watch as a phone.

From the pictures, the navigation method is not touch screen but a scroll log ala LG Shine. Pricing was not annouced but I expect it would be a lot cheaper since there is no watch brand associated with the product such as Tag Huer or Prada.
