LG Arena KM900 Review

Look and feel

The LG Arena’s easy to use and well-calibrated touch-screen is its highlight as, although the phone looks good, it is so lightweight that if feels a tad low in quality.

Ease of use

LG’s much-hyped new user interface doesn’t quite make the grade, although, as it was designed with accessibility in mind, it is super easy to navigate.

Features

This multimedia phone is packed with features, including a five-megapixel camera, Dolby Mobile technology, HSDPA connectivity and a huge 8GB of internal memory.

Performance

The user interface is cleverly designed, but there are a few issues that need ironing out to make the phones usability really top notch. As a media phone though, it can’t be faulted.

Battery life

The battery life of the Arena is a vast improvement on previous LG models, with a whopping 30 hours of MP3 playing time.

The verdict

The LG Arena may have a few issues, but these don’t detract from the fact that this is a really excellent handset. LG is great at producing responsive touch-screens and the Arena’s is one of its best. It is packed with high-spec features and, as a media phone, it really is first rate.
