After being teased and teased all the time, finally we will get the LG Arena official. Let us wait for the great reviewers out there to comment with their hands-on experience. It is interesting how much this phone will cost.
Feature wise, it is quite impressive.
- Tri-band GSM/UMTS/HSDPA 7.2 Mbps connectivity
- 3″ 800 x 480 WVGA 262K color touchscreen display
- 5 megapixel camera with DVD quality video recording
- FM Radio
- Mobile TV
- A-GPS support
- 1000 mAh battery with 300 hrs stand-by and 230 min talk time
- Wi-Fi
- “S-Class” 3D interface
"S-Class" 3D interface, anyone? I don't think this is quite interesting. Not a strong selling point. Even who cares if the interface rotates or dances or you name it. We want quick and trouble free, and finger gesture friendly operation. Let's see whether the "S-Class" interface performs as good as LG hypes about.
Now this baby should really be considered as an alternative tool for your mobile entertainment. Great thing is, it supports DivX, which is great for playing the DivX movies you had downloaded.
So, from competition, which ones are we looking at? Perhaps its upper class sister, the LG Prada II, is on almost equal footing, if not slightly better, as the "Prada" label may put some more appeal to fashion-conscious people. Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, hello? Where are you guys. We should wonder why these big guys lost speed to the challenger Korean brand.
The current closest type from Nokia, Nokia 5800 Express Music, falls shy with its mediocre 3.2 megapixel cam. 
The upcoming Nokia N97 can be a better -and predictably more expensive- option than Arena cause of the Qwerty installed in N97. Well N97 will always enjoy the reputation of Nokia brand.But in this heavy competition era particularly between cellphone manufacturers, if we are truly smart customers, it may be not the best decision for us to stay loyal to one brand.
