LG to launch Arena KM900 next week

LG Electronics is all set to launch its new flagship multimedia cell phone, named Arena. Arena will make debut at Mobile World Congress expo in Barcelona to be held next week.

The Arena KM900 handset features a new LG user interface based around the concept of a cube. According to the company, the user can switch screens within the three-dimensional interface by turning from one face of the cube to the next. Underneath the main display are four icons that provide quick access to functions such as phone calls and e-mail.

The phone is the latest in a line of handsets from major manufacturers that feature highly graphical user interfaces. Many of them have taken design clues from Apple's successful iPhone. Like the iPhone, the Arena also has a large display that occupies most of the front face of the phone.

Other features of the handset include Dolby and Divx support, HSDPA data at 7.2Mbps, Wi-Fi and GPS.

The Arena KM900 handset is expected to be officially unveiled on 16th Feb.
