LG’s KM900, otherwise known as the Arena, is not only striking in appearance but is also the ‘greenest’ fully featured mobile phone on the market today. The Arena is up with the best in terms of its environmentally friendly packaging but sets the stand...

The LG Arena is the nearest yet to something worthy of competing with the iPhone, but only because LG has tried so hard to copy it. A little too hard, some might say. It’s amazing, to the point where you’ll probably laugh to see how similar the two mod...

No, you’re not looking at a picture of the new iPhone. This is the LG Arena; a phone that looks incredibly similar, even though it does do things slightly differently. The smaller phone has a higher resolution display, 5-megapixel camera, video reco...

As they say, it ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it. The LGs KM900 - aka Arena - may pack in an impressive quantity of functionality, but the real question is whether LG’s new S-Class touchscreen UI, making its finger-dabbing debut on this...

Slim and eye-catching, the LG Arena has many attractive features. Its S-Class UI certainly raises LG’s game - its intuitive, easy on the eye and more user-friendly than LG’s previous efforts - even if it’s still not quite up to the iPhon...

Despite some redundancies in the user interface, the Arena is really a very intuitive phone, and LG has done a good job of minimising the clicks required to get from one application to another. LG is known for producing finger friendly, well-calibra...

Excellent image and video, finger friendly touchscreen and vibrant highres display.

LGs flagship touch-screen mobile phone for 2009 is the Arena (KM900). It boasts HSDPA capabilities, extensive multimedia functions, Wi-Fi and built-in GPS, but its the new 3D "S-Class" user interface that is the real talking point. According to LG, it is the result of more than two years of extensive consumer research. The design of the LG Arena is strikingly similar to Apples iPhone 3G. Like the iPhone, the front of the Arena is largely taken up by the touch screen, the phone has rounded ch...

LG definitely deserves some credit for thinking outside the box. The LG Arena offers a wealth of features, but although the new user interface certainly looks fantastic, it sometimes feels sluggish and this affects the user experience...
