The menu is divided in four submenus and each of them contains new submenus.The phone doesn't contain a classic keyboard. It has a virtual keyboard with large keys which comes in two modes. While writing messages or typing in phone numbers, the keyboard is in normal mode, and while searching the contacts, the formation of the letters on the keyboard changes.

Option confirmation is a bit complicated. Every time you want to confirm an action you have to press the key or function twice or confirm it by pressing the OK key. When the phone isn't active, the keyboard dissapears.

It has a quite good music player, which is activated by the same key as the camera. The music player doesn't have an equaliser, but it has a shuffle mode, repeat option and the player's color can be changed - in black or white.

It has an FM radio, and a set of earphones that come with the phone. Some of the other applications on this model are: an alarm clock, calculator, world time, converter, calendar and a reminder. The reminder has the capacity of 50 items, calendar 100, the phone can store up to 300 messages and the phonebook has the capacity of 1000 contacts.

Prada has an e-mail client that can open attachments with different extensions. It contains a speakerphone and a Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support and USB 2.0. The battery is a Li-lon, with 800 mAh of capacity and should last for 3 hours of talk time, or 300 hours in standby. In reality, it doesn't last that long.

The phone comes in a black box with Prada logo on it. The box contains a small black duster for cleaning the phone, a black etui with solid sides, black chromed earphones and a microSD card with 256MB of capacity.
