If you’re like us, you haven’t seen nearly enough of the N97 yet… right? Well fear not, faithful reader, as our intrepid comrade from Engadget Spanish, Drita, has nabbed a tasty hands-on with the phone in question. As you can tell from the pics, it’s not Truly as thin as its nearest competitors, but fairly sleek and stylish all the same (metal bezel and all), and that QWERTY keyboard looks practically edible. We’re salivating at the thought of getting one to thoroughly put through its paces, but until then, let’s all just sit back and soak in the handsome gallery below.

We spied LG’s Prada II strutting its stuff in some fancy photos yesterday, and in this place we are just over twenty-four hours later with a gossip-worthy video spectacular of the luxury house’s second foray into handset branding. The lucky gen. in the film beautifully demonstrates how the Bluetooth-enabled watch can perform such wonders as silence your ringer and retrieve text messages, all without laying a finger on the touchscreen, slider keyboard-boasting phone.
