Oh-hell-yes.

I bet you can copy-paste on the LG.

.. Ah, just messin'.

I still think the LG Prada is sexier of the two; but I'd still not use either personally.

Tactile.
Feedback.
K?

Here is a detailed review of the Prada:
http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Page=4&Id=3415

From that review:
"I was disappointed by the Prada phone's music player. Best I can tell, it doesn't support playlists at all. Neither can it be synchronized with Windows Media Player, iTunes, or any other system. In fact, the Prada owner can't even organize their music by making subdirectories for different albums or artists,"
...
"The KE850's web browser is adequate, but not very well integrated into the whole touchscreen system. For example, instead of being able to tap on a link with your finger or scroll the page with a dragging motion, instead a link must be navigated to with a series of on-screen arrow buttons and then selected. Not only does this not fit in with the touch theme of the Prada phone, but it wastes a lot of space on what would otherwise be a great display for browsing. The browser doesn't support full HTML/CSS sites very well,"

I tried the iPhone tonight, and believe me: the lack of tactile feedback was a non-issue, and that was one of my main concerns. I don't know how they did it, but that virtual keyboard is amazing. Tactile feedback was completely unnecessary. I was typing faster on that thing within 2 minutes than any other smartphone I've ever tried. Absolutely amazing.

I read in a Popular Science article that they've actually figured out a way to do tactile feedback with touch displays in Japan and China. The idea is to create very small vibrations when you press the screen. I wouldn't be surprised if some version of the iPhone or Prada did the same in the future.

Alpine car audio screens have tacticle feedback alredy in their products, you feel a buzzing motion on the screen when your finger is over a button.

The RAZR2 does tactile feedback via vibration when the front screen has the touch-screen activated (in music mode, etc.).
However, I believe most peoples concern with the lack of "tactile feedback" is around the not being able to sense where you are without having to look at the device. Similar to a keyboard, where the "f" and "j" keys have that little nub on them to help you know where you are without looking at it. Heck to see proof of the benefits of a physical button, look at all the teenagers who are texting their friends while talking to some other friends and not looking at their phone. They know which key they are on and how many times this clicked it to write a message and send very quickly.

To me a vibration is no different than an audio response, which the iPhone does do when you tap on a virtual key.
Don't be mistaken though, I still picked up an iPhone yesterday. :)
