New Non-iPhone Touch Phone Coming to AT&T?

AT&T LG Prada PhoneEarlier this year, LG Electronics released a touch phone designed by Prada in non-US territories in direct competition with Apple's then upcoming iPhone. Some photos this week uncovered possible plans for the US-bound version of a new Prada phone, known as the CU920.

The phone is rumored to be 3G (which would make its network connection faster than the iPhone's), run a mobile version of the Firefox web browser (the iPhone runs Safari) and have a similar finger-spread zoom function as the iPhone. Perhaps most interestingly, this new phone's service looks to be available through AT&T, the same company that offers the iPhone. That would give AT&T exclusive rights to both competing products.

Initial reports, however, indicate that the CU920 is a bit more difficult to navigate than the iPhone and, curiously, has an antenna that reportedly breaks off quite easily.

While the original Prada phone runs upwards of $700 in foreign markets, there is no information on price or date for the new US model.
