Photos: Cell phone style, good and bad

Partnering with Prada, the famous Italian design house, LG produced a phone that is iPhone-esque: black and thin, with a touch-screen interface. LG has enjoyed success with its most recent phones, including the Chocolate. Korean phone makers "are really banking on design more than anyone else," Mittersinker said. "I think it's because they have a lot more catch-up to do."
