Here is the LG KM900 Arena it has been elegantly designed with a fantastic touch screen and a fabulous user interface. With quality built-in imaging features and technologies this gorgeous handset really is waiting for its user to enjoy and explore what the Arena has to offer. The Arena comprises a stunning 3 inch TFT touch-screen displaying up to 262k colours with screen resolutions of 480 x 800 pixels which definitely ensures for clear, bright and very colourful screen images. We love the 3D cube style interface which acts like a rotating cube on the screen enabling the user to make on screen menu selections via the touch controls and it really does provide the wow factor making the Arena look even more amazing. This elegant mobile phone is easy to manage and operate especially with a size of 105.9mm x 55.3mm x 12mm and weighing in at a very respectable 105g, there will be no issues either when it comes to storing the LG Arena on your person or a small bag. There are up to 4 hours of talk time on the LG KM900 Arena mobile phone with up to 300 hours of stand-by with a full charge up of the phone's battery.
LG KM 900 Arena Review – Camera & Imaging
Now to the built-in 5 mega-pixel camera feature on the LG Arena which captures high quality digital images at the users leisure. With Auto-Focus and a Flash the user is sure to capture bright and clear snap shots where ever their photos are taken. The dedicated camera enables the user quick and easy access to the camera function and take a snap shot in seconds.
Another great aspect to the camera is the video recording capabilities of the LG Arena in DVD quality capture. With the easy to use touch screen settings the user is guaranteed excellent quality footage. The video player formats include MPEG4 and DivX, and with the high resolution 3 inch screen watching back the recorded images look crisp, clear and very colourful. There is a second camera and 3G video calling function on the Arena which allows the user to participate in video calling with other compatible users with the same facility making for a more personal and face-to-face phone call.
LG KM900 Arena Review – Music & Sound
For chilling out or just pure entertainment the user can enjoy the built-in music player system on the very elegant and stylish LG KM900 Arena mobile phone. MP3 and AAC are the supported music file formats along with an integrated FM Radio enabling the user to stay up to speed with all the latest news, travel and weather information as well as listening to their favourite radio stations and DJ's. Now with the stunning good looks of the Arena its user is going to want to their LG Arena to sound good too and the way to do is this is by adding a cool ring-tone. The user can choose from the selection of MP3 and Polyphonic ring-tones available on their handset. There is a massive 8 gigabytes of on board on the Arena plus a MicroSD memory card support of up to a huge 16 gigabytes. This will increase the memory capacity massively enabling the user to store all their music files, photo's, downloads and video clips without worrying about how much memory is being chewed.
LG KM900 Arena Review – Internet & Connectivity
Accessing the internet from our mobile phones these days has fast become a huge trend and the LG Arena will not disappoint in this area of technology. Connecting to the net is straight forward and a speedy process thanks to the built-in WAP XHTML and HTML web browsing technologies. The 3G HSDPA, Wi-Fi, EDGE and GPRS on board technologies all offer great connections a superb, speedy and fantastic quality of services with regards to transfer rates to which the user can greatly benefit. For supported networks the LG Arena operates on a Tri-band network which covers GSM-900/1800/1900 & HSDPA-2100 which enables the user the full access of their handset whilst abroad vis the roaming facility. Connecting to other compatible devices is easy with the Bluetooth and USB available technologies.
LG KM900 Arena Review – Messaging Services
Staying in contact with others is very important and with busy lifestyles these days we often feel we don't have the time to sit on the phone, but with a message it can be sent at anytime from anywhere which is very convenient. The messaging services that Arena offers include SMS, MMS (multi-media messaging), Instant messaging and Emailing, all of which are a fast and fun way to any message across in no time.
LG KM900 Arena Review – Gaming & Applications
To keep boredom from raising its head why not check out the Java games available on the Arena mobile phone. If none of the games are suitable or to the users required taste then the Downloadable gaming options is there for the user to cater to their individual gaming taste. We do say please check before using this particular service as there may be a small cost involved, so do look out for that.
Application tools are those very handy features that we can often call upon for some assistance and the LG Arena offers a Document Viewer, Alarm Clock, Stop-Watch, Calculator and a Calendar for the users required needs.
LG KM 900 Arena Review – Summary
In terms of beauty alone we stand to give the LG KM900 Arena full marks and of course for user friendly touch screen abilities. What gives the Arena an edge is that fact it is sporting a 5 mega-pixel camera function, but the lack of music and sound technologies is a little disappointing. To be competitive we expect a little more, yes not everybody is a music lover out there who requires the best in terms of high tech music capabilities but a little more would have been more impressive. But having said all that overall the LG KM900 Arena mobile phone is a real stunner that may give the illusion it is a complicated handset to operate, but it really isn't, so for pure elegance and style and the no fuss of high spec techs then the LG Arena is most definitely worth checking out.

Okay, but seen betterThis is the worst phone I have owned. I often have to reset it and it won't receive a call sometimes no matter how many times I hit the green phone. Same goes for ending a call - sometimes the end user has to end the call first. This is extremely difficult to use when driving as the screen locks and stays black for a long time before revealing the caller. Never a touch screen again!

Good mobile phoneI've had this phone for a week now and I think its a brilliant phone the touch screen is very responsive, it has great features but the battery life isn't brilliant, the unlocking of the screen isn't good as I put it in my pocket and I unlock it, the volume keys swap functions if you turn it on its side, but I would recomend this phone to anyone just don't get it from mobiles.co.uk as the send the sim card unregistered and their phone service is rubbish.
