Advantages: Good camera, small and light phone. QWERTY keyboard for texting Disadvantages: Screen switches itself off after too short a time
...recently upgraded to my new LG KM900 Arena from my current LG KF600 Venus after a bit of an argument with my (now) former provider.
I got a great deal from Orange so I'm now the proud owner of the Arena.
It's a candybar phone with a completely touch screen interface. I was a bit wary about not having a keypad but this phone is very responsive and I haven't had any trouble so far. My phone has a screen protector on it so it doesn't get scratched ... ...touch.
It has the unique 'S-class' interface which has four different screens - the widget screen which is completely customizable, the contacts screen which displays your favourite contacts, the shortcut screen which is again customizable to your own choice and the multimedia screen which displays your favourite tracks and photos.
There is the 'Home' screen which has all the other options such as calendar, calculator, messaging, camera etc.
There ...

Advantages: two camera's, fast, easy to access and navigate, excellent sound and graphics, hardwearing Disadvantages: bottom heavy.
...this time round that the LG Arena touchscreen model would be the perfect phone for me and they were right! The thought of a touchscreen phone somewhat terrified me and on its arrival i have to admit it took me twenty minutes to turn it on and a further 30 minutes to work out how to dial a number. This was by no means a fault of the phone but perhaps my lack of knowledge of touchscreen phones and LG models. After a couple of days i had totally got ... ...have ever had.
The LG Arena is slim, sexy and lightweight with a multitute of functions that i never imagined i would need on a mobile phone (some of which i still havent used!). The LG Arena includes: 1. 2 x camera’s
2. camcorder
3.games
4.multiple alarm clock system, built in schedules and reminders
5.calculator, calander
6.text, video and picture messaging
7. web access
8. bluetooth
9. Mobile Tv
10. email facilities
11. memory card ...

Advantages: touch screen wifi, good features and separate audio socket Disadvantages: Power hungry, and be unstable a times and struggles in poor reception
...4 months upgrade from the LG cookie. Physically the phone is thicker and heavier than the cookie. It is not as sleek with mat silver on the back, chrome silver on the sides and brush silver on the front. The 3 inch LCD screen was very clear and a nice size. Usability the menu and touch screen were very easy to use and the icons were self explanatory. QWERTY touch keyboard is brilliant for texts especially the hold magnifies letter feature. Very power ... ...can also be unstable at times locking up on shutting down, have had to update the firmware. Multi Media wise the camera and video record where excellent quality and again very easy to use. MP3 player was good clear sound quality too. The 8GB on internal memory is nice and the micro SD socket allowing more external memory. The separate 3.5mm audio socket is a good addition. Connectivity, the phone has a poorer signal strength in poor areas where my ...
Advantages: it is a brilliant phone...loads of features, easy to use. Disadvantages: it slightly like the i-phone but it does have it better features.
...have recently just had an LG Viewty KU990, which I loved, but when someone stood on my screen and it broke, I needed a new one, luckily an upgrade was in order. BIG SMILES all around for me yesterday when I decided to go for this phone. Firstly I love the style of this phone, I chose to have it in pink, because I am a girl but they also do a sliver one which in my oppinion is very smart, slim and easy to handle.
One of the things I don't like on ... ...5 Mega pixels, The highes LG megapixel phone is an 8 Mega Pixel, but I would say a five is as good as any, I used my old LG Viewty on nights out and I could see all of the pictures I took clearly. The camera and video camera both have an editing suite on them so you can make movies or crop and edit images to you own specification. This LG phone also has 3 games free with it's new M-Toy device. This is a motioned sensor for the games and also helps ...

Advantages: Stylish, not heavy, good features, easy to use Disadvantages: Poor battery life
Being the first touchscreen phone I have owned, I found it quite difficult to use to begin with, but this did not last long. Compared to other touchscreen phones I have looked at, this one is just as easy to use as others. Writing and sending text messages is easy once you are used to it. One thing which I find really useful on this phone is that you can send a text message when there is no signal, the phone will then deliver it once signal is once ... ...me with previous phones, as you normally have to keep checking when you have signal to send the text message, as it comes up with something similar to 'no network, cannot send txt'. Wifi is easy to use and a great addition in my opinion. The only problems I have found with the phone so far is that it ocassionally switches itself off for no apparent reason, and the battery life is not very long, as I have to charge it every other day. However, I would ...

Advantages: basicall everything Disadvantages: You can't watch vidio's on the internet, low battery on internet,
...of the phone, is the lg s class, basically personisable the cube menu. Alough its advertised as a cube you can't actually see the top or bottom, theres one side for genral shortcuts, one for contacts, one for multimedia, and one for widgits.On bothe the contact and multimedia homescreen there are wheels, which are a nice touch, but these are slightly inconvinent when flipping sides, exspessially for contacts. Another major featue of this £399 phone ... ...and the settings are convinent, the cameria loading time is a little sluggish, ot almoust instantly takes the picture, then it loads and takes the picture again. This is reasnobally usefull as it does give you a preview picture, but this is rather inconvenient for first time users, or taking photos with others. There is also a low resalution camera on the front, which is usefull, and, if anythig, loads better that the back camera! In terms of connctivity, ...

Advantages: Looks, Camera. Disadvantages: Feel, battery life.
Right, so I've had this phone a little while now, got it as an upgrade from an HTC Touch Diamond. I cannot help but compare the two..
Where to start?
Well first off the battery life is poor, lasting about a day and a half, although I text virtually all the time, thus making it poor, and not lasting long. Although to be fair it has made 2 days before.
Secondly, the camera. It is amazing on a sunny day, and I mean AMAZING. Bright colours, vivid ... ...do with is a Xenon flash. In the dark it is more than shocking.
Thirdly, the range of tools etc. - When you go into the main menu you are greeted with ALOT of icons, all leading into different applications, when upright it can be likened to the iPhone (but I HATE it when people compare it with the iPhone.), as it uses the scroll across menu, it is also slower reacting with the touch feature.
It has been labelled the 'S-Class' of UI. I don't feel ...

Advantages: great camera and video camera Disadvantages: battery power run down quite fast
when i first got this phone i felt it took a while to get used to find my way around and in my opinion the letters when texting were too small to text at a good speed. However after a few days practice I was back to texting at my usual speed and using all the great features of the phone. In my opinion the phone is more user friendly then the 'i phone'. My four year old daugher has also dropped the phone in a full cup of water and after a day of being ...

Advantages: Pretty and sharp picture Disadvantages: Slow and laggy
At first glance the LG arena looks beautiful, sleek and stylish...you can't always judge a book by it's cover and in this case it's very very true. HAving only had the phone for about three months I've had it replaced no more than twice so far. First problem was the software screwing up whenever a slip of the finger pressed a wrong button causing it to lagg horribly and eventually crash.
Second time was the headphone jack (Which is a great idea ... ...the mobile...useless, unless you have a hands free kit.
That said I still love LG phones and will be loyal to them, maybe because I'm a sucker for a pretty face. If it messes up again though I'll be picking bit's of Arena out of my living room wall. ...
