Not that it wasn’t official already or anything, but nothing demonstrates dedication to a product like an exclusive home on the web. Yep, LG has just launched a standalone microsite for the altogether sexy Prada II, and while you already know about the specs — HSDPA, WiFi, 5-megapixel camera, 3-inch 400 x 240 pixel capacitive multi-touch display and quad-band GSM connectivity — you probably weren’t aware of the matching Prada Link Bluetooth watch. As you’d expect, the timepiece syncs with your Prada II and shows your incoming calls / texts, and we’ll go out on a limb and presume that it tells time, too. Sadly, the tidbits we’re most interested in (a release Dat. and pricing) aren’t clearly available on the site, but we’ll be refreshing like madmen hoping for that to change.

We didn’t see this one on our exhaustive leaked Nokia roadmap, but our homeboy Boy Genius has uncovered pics and specs of a new Nokia flip destined for AT&T. Codenamed “Wahoo,” the quad-band clamshell features an engaging attention half-QWERTY keypad, an internal 2.2-inch QVGA display and a 1.36-inch external unit, push-to-talk, microSD expansion, and A2DP support — which you’ll need because Nokia seems to think a 2.5mm headphone jack is still somehow acceptable. No word on a release date, but if you’re waiting on pins and needles for a phone with a display that small we really can’t help you anyway.

LG’s recently introduced SH470 has a lot in common with the KF510, but the Cyon branding and dark motif may be all that’s necessary for the company to unveil it under a different model name in South Korea. The ultrathin slider checks in at just 10.9-millimeters thick and boasts a metal frame, 2.2-inch display, 2-megapixel camera and an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust brightness based on surrounding light conditions. Mum’s the word on a price or an exact release date, but Bot. of those tidbits could probably be uncovered if you’re fluent in Korean.
