No, it's not the iPhone; it just looks like one. Fashion designer Prada and LG Electronics announced on Thursday what they call the world's first completely touch-screen mobile phone to come to market.

The Prada Phone (LG KE850) features an "advanced touch interface," ring tones, pre-loaded content, mobile phone accessories and a leather case, all jointly designed by Prada and LG specifically for this project. It also comes with a 2-megapixel camera, MP3 player, video player, document viewer, music/messaging multitasking capability, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 port. The super thin phone comes in at 12 mm thick.

Apple's iPhone may have grabbed more headlines, but Prada beat Apple to the punch. The phone is scheduled to be available in the U.K., France, Germany and Italy in late February, and in a few Asian countries (Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore) in March. It won't be cheap though. Prices will start at $776.
