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...
