LG KM900 Arena preview: First look

27 March 2009
The LG Arena is getting set to storm its way across Europe but not before a proper courtesy call. Yes sir, one of the Barcelona Mobile World Congress headliners is feeling right at home at the arena. And the pleasure is ours too...

        This phone is really a worth one. I`ve got a possibility to try it, it`s like bugatti (even though I never had it:))

          It's an excellent phone, really. I had the Arena for about 20 minutes in my hands yesterday.. The dolby surround sound, the video quality, the multitouch. It's a winner really. The most amazing part is the speed of the phone. It's so damn fast.
          I always hated LG but I mean it when I say that I'm considering on getting this one.

          It's a killer. I used it next to the Iphone.. And Iphone should really come out soon with the 3.0 software because Iphone is nothing next to this thing.

              Use it at least once prior to making stupid comparisons and calling it a rip of the iPhone. I for one think LG has a winner on their hands and will reserve final judgement until I have actually tried out the S-Class UI. Looking good so far LG.

                i'm not a ifan nor am i LG basher but this phone resembles iphone!!!. and the price tag of 400£ is nearly the prise of 4GB iphone in my country. arena is definitely better value of money be is a copy or original.

                          Very nice review,this phone is exellent but it has a big problem: phone legibility under sunlight! I will not swap my 5800 with a phone that has the same problem!
                          What about battery??

                                  Gsmarena you sate in your review that the micro sd card is not hot swappable, because it is under the battery.

                                  Your photo clearly shows that the micro sd and sim are not under the battery please fix these statements.

                                    All in all, nice phone.. But I would rather save more money and purchase HTC Touch Pro 2. It is unique, it has quite bigger screen, qwerty keyboard, and most importing, not stealing from other (I)phones. Even though this is quite nice phone, it is just LG, and i already have one called Viewty, pure junk! Camera is nothing, touch is nothing, end it is indeed unnerve!! greetings :)

                                      I like the silver/whitish back of the phone.

                                      1. It wont attract finger prints like the black one will ( look on youtube for the black one and you will se what I mean)

                                      2. It will stand out from the crowd of black phones. There is a sea of black phones out there at the moment, and when you will have the phone to your ear if its black no one will notice at all. The silver one will attract more admiring looks of jealousy for sure.

                                        Hi Gsmarena. You wrote in your review that the phone takes a micro sd card of up to 16 Gb. That is incorrect it can take up to 32 gb. Please fix this in your review thanks.
