The LG Prada Phone 3.0, previously available only in South Korea, will start shipping with T-Mobile UK next month.The 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 phone ships with a custom skin of Android 2.3, although LG has promised an update to 4.0 in Q2. In our hands-on, we were pleasantly surprised by the phone’s functionality, although there wasn’t anything significantly new beyond the monochrome Prada UI. The Prada Phone runs a 1Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and comes with 8GB of internal storage.
