LG have always been prominent on the touchscreen map but the KM900 Arena adds a whole new dimension to their portfolio. The first ever WVGA screen of the house and D1 video recording are enough to make the LG Arena a landmark device. However it’s the S-Class Touch UI that propels the handset to a higher league. It’s elaborate, responsive and impressively attractive – and we’re keen to see more of it, especially on top of the Windows Mobile OS that LG so heartily embraced in Barcelona.
As to the handset itself, the LG Arena hasn’t lost a bit of the impact it made at the WMC. It’s got the novelties right and blends the best of the LG high-end expertise. Maybe it’s too early for vicious head-to-heads but LG seem to have themselves a big enough player in the multimedia game.
