The LG KM900 Arena phone is the model that immediately attracted attention before it hit the market. This fashion mobile phone is not similar to any other model from LG. The device is positioned as a multimedia flagship from LG.
The introduction of the touchphone is explained by the fact that, despite the mass production of mobile phones with touch controls, none of them has a perfect interface that would meet all the requirements for entertainment and work, and could become a real competitor to the iPhone.
LG's developers have presented a self-developed shell called S-Class UI at the international exhibition Mobile World Congress 2009 - this can be called a real breakthrough of this company. It is on this shell that the new touchphones from LG are based, one of which is our LG KM900 Arena.
Despite the similarity to the iPhone, the touchphone does not pretend to be a competitor to this device, since they are completely different models. The real competitors of LG KM900 Arena can be called such models as Nokia 5800 and Samsung WiTu, LG KM900 Arena can really constrain them on the market.
Housing
The LG KM900 Arena phone comes in two colors: silver and black. However, according to the developers, it will appear in other colors on foreign mobile markets. The design of the LG KM900 Arena phone is classic, the impeccable combination of plastic and metal makes it more stylish and original.
The bezel of the screen and the back panel of the device are made of metal. The area around the camera's eye is made of plastic as well as the bottom end of the body. Thanks to this balanced combination, the mobile device looks more noble.
Unlike other phones from the company, which are made of plastic, the LG KM900 Arena has virtually no marks or prints. True, this does not apply to the screen.
The metal did not affect the weight and dimensions of the mobile device in any way. On the contrary, it lies very pleasantly in the hand. The dimensions of the LG KM900 Arena mobile phone are: 05.9x55.3x11.95 mm, and this is with a weight of 105 grams. So you can easily put your mobile phone in your pocket or purse.
On the back of the mobile phone is a five megapixel camera with LED flash. At the top there is a standard 3.5 mm jack for connecting a headset, the phone's power button, which is also responsible for activating the screen and the back cover latch.

On the left side panel there is a USB connector covered with a sliding flap. You can connect branded headphones and a USB cable to it. On the right side panel there is a button for turning on the camera and a paired button for adjusting the sound volume.
On the front panel above the display there is an earpiece, light and distance sensors. The proximity sensor locks the display when the phone is brought to your ear. And the light sensor automatically adjusts the backlight depending on weather conditions and time of day. Although this device is positioned as a music mobile phone, it has only one built-in speaker, so you will have to use headphones to enjoy stereo sound.
The screen of our gadget deserves special attention. The screen resolution is 480 x 800 pixels. True, its diagonal will not allow you to enjoy all the delights of capacitive technology and the matrix's ability to display up to 16 million colors. But if you use the phone indoors, the picture comes out very juicy and bright.
Disadvantages of the display appear in sunny weather, when almost all colors fade out. You can also use the manual setting mode to adjust the brightness of the display.By default, the phone is set to automatic configuration mode, which allows you to save energy.

The central button is designed to call the menu, and when you press it for a long time, shortcuts of all applications that are installed in the mobile phone appear on the display, and the two side buttons are designed to work with calls.
