    4 Stars LG Arena 05/11/2012

    Advantages Advantages Looks great, well made, responsive touchscreen, good camera

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes slows down, poor web browsing, literally no proper applications available

    I remember a few years ago when feature phones were the must-have mobile phones. Before the likes of the iPhone and android smartphones were created and the only 'smartphones' were business-orientated Windows and BlackBerry devices, feature phones were the best devices and the ones that everyone wanted to own. Notable, popular feature phones include the Samsung Tocco, Samsung Jet and the LG Arena. I happened to own the latter device for about a year and I will now share my opinion about the phone. Appearance The phone looks great and the appearance is one of the reasons I chose this phone. The ... more

    5 Stars LG KM900 Arena - An iPhone Rival 10/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good camera, small and light phone. QWERTY keyboard for texting

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Screen switches itself off after too short a time

    I 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 and this hasn't affected the way the phone responds to touch. It has the unique 'S-class' interface which has four different screens - the widget ... more

    5 Stars LG Arena KM900 Superb A******** 12/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages two camera's, fast, easy to access and navigate, excellent sound and graphics, hardwearing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bottom heavy.

    It was that time again to upgrade my contract mobile phone for a newer model and i had no idea which one to get. After upgrading 18 month ago the mobile phone i had got broke within 4 months so i reverted to my previous model. I was advised 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 ... more

    5 Stars LG KM900 21/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages it is a brilliant phone...loads of features, easy to use.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages it slightly like the i-phone but it does have it better features.

    At first I didn't know how to take this phone. I 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 the phone is that it is quite hard to text. The (C) button to cancel words, is part of the touch ... more

    1 Star slow, screen goes blank when it cant cope, terrible touch screen 13/09/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages good picture quality, 2 camera's and good memory

    Disadvantages Disadvantages touch screen, battery life, cannot deal with too many applications running at once. tilt screen

    hmmmmm, where to start? I have had the LG KM900 Arena for around 8 months. It has been the vain of my life and I am certainly looking forward to my upgrade. Positives:- Good Camera, Good Picture, not too heavy, 2 camera's, 1 on the front 1 on the back. good 8gb memory. quiet cheap to buy now it has been out for over a year. A couple of good games. Good app's such as 'movie maker' which you can make movie slids out of your stored pictures. Negatives:- shockingly bad battery life especially whilst surfing the web. i hardly get a days work out of it and thats without internet access. the touch ... more

    4 Stars LG Arena, very good Iphone clone! Review with images 26/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages touchscreen, 5MP camera, fast, multitask

    Disadvantages Disadvantages hard to find applications

    The LG Arena (km900) is a full touch-screen phone with a capacitive system, so you can't type with sharp things on it. You have to use your full thumb to type on it. In my opinion this is the best iphone clone i ever saw. It's easy to switch between various sections in the phone, like music player, messaging, internet, games, etc... It's also able to do multitasking like the iphone 4. The regular stuff like calling, messaging and interneting(3G) are very easy to do with the Lg arena. The graphics of the applications(games) are also very good in comparison to other mobile phones in the same ... more

    4 Stars A great multimedia phone - but that's it 09/10/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good multimedia features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No real smartphone software and features

    The LG KM900 arena was a phone which I purchased in the knowledge that it possessed high multimedia capabilities. I was a hundred percent correct about this, however, the phone was not exactly what I expected it to be. Positive points This phone has an excellent 5MP camera which can record at DVD quality. It has many settings to satisfy people of all technological understanding and also features a bright LED flash. The Arena also has the capabilities to play multimedia formats including an array of different video files. The device also has a built in 8GB of storage space, so the absence of a ... more

    3 Stars LG Arena great features when the work 11/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages touch screen wifi, good features and separate audio socket

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Power hungry, and be unstable a times and struggles in poor reception

    Been using this phone now for about 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 hungry phone needs charge every other day. The phone can also be unstable at times locking up on shutting ... more

    4 Stars LG KM900 Arena is a good easy to use phone 07/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish, not heavy, good features, easy to use

    Disadvantages 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 again received on the phone. This used to really annoy me with previous phones, as you normally have to keep checking when you have signal to send ... more

    2 Stars Looks may be deceiving 07/02/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Application lock, Good sound

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow software, no room for new apps, poor battery etc.

    I bought this phone not long ago after seeing all the TV adverts and thought "that's the phone for me" wasn't i mistaken... The phone is slow when it wants to be and decides to restart when it wants to, the camera takes about 6secs to take a photo so anything that you want to take quick is impossible when you get a few sms's the phones goes really slow when going through them (just over 10 is enough) on the meny there are loads of icons which are all useless cause its just all the submenus put into an icon to get there quicker. The only good thing i can say that is good is that there's an ... more
