Photo of LG KM900 Arena Touchscreen Phone Leaked
The handset is reported to come with an innovative 3D user interface named S-Class
Touchscreen fanboys have one more reason to rejoice today. Yesterday, we learned about Toshiba's TG01 Windows Mobile-powered touchscreen mobile phone, which comes with a wide range of multimedia features, and now we hear that LG will also come up with a high-end touchscreen handset. The newly spotted device from LG is KM900 Arena, a photo of which was leaked to the Web recently on a phone retailer brochure in the Netherlands, and surfaced on All About Phones. According to the news, the handset is expected to come along with a high-quality touch display that would also feature an innovative 3D user interface that sports the name "S-Class". The design of the LG KM900 Arena resembles a lot the metallic outlook of the Samsung i900 Omnia. On the other hand, the new LG device is a more compact handset than Samsung's, while its S-Class user interface would rather seem to sport similarities with Apple iPhone's UI. Other features of the new LG KM900 Arena would also include a 5-megapixel camera stated to bring along DVD-quality video recording capabilities, and most of you should already be familiar with LG's current D1 video. In addition to that, the new handset also includes DivX playback capabilities, another feature that should appeal a lot to users. The new high-end mobile phone will also include Bluetooth connectivity, GPS receiver and Wi-Fi capabilities, yet no other details on its specification list are available at this moment. At the same time, it is rather uncertain whether the handset will come along with multi-touch functionality or whether it will sport a capacitive touchscreen. LG might announce the new KM900 Arena pretty soon, maybe at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, so stay tuned to learn more on the device as soon as info is available.

T-Mobile Gets LG's KM900 Arena in Titan Black
The handset should become available later this month
LG's KM900 Arena mobile phone is getting ready to come to the market, and, as the date approaches, more and more info on the device seems to become available into the wild. Only a few days ago we gave you some details on the price tag the handset should feature on the European market, and now we learn more on the color schemes it will come around with. One of the carriers that should add Arena to its lineup is T-Mobile, and it seems that the carrier will also have the pleasure of offering the handset in a rather attractive color, Titan Black, which makes the LG KM900 Arena look classier. At the same time, the mobile phone operator is reported to plan on offering Arena to its music enthusiast users, thus emphasizing a lot the Dolby for Mobile music enhancement, the 3.5mm audio jack and the FM transmitter that the handset comes with. Moreover, the mobile music download service called Mobile Jukebox will also be included with the phone. As many of you might already know, the LG KM900 Arena is expected to deliver a 3-inch high-resolution touchscreen display, while the most attractive feature of the device seems to be its new user interface, which LG suggestively named S-class. What it can offer customers is a fluid response complemented by excellent visuals, thus being able to enhance users' mobile experience. The handset is also able to provide all needed functionality related to connectivity, location services, multimedia entertainment or imaging. Mobile phone users who live in the UK should be able to see the device available with T-Mobile before the end of March. And since the Titan Black color scheme is somehow said to be a rare one when it comes to Arena, it should undoubtedly attract some eyes, especially given Engadget's report that it would come for free on Flext 40 and Combi 40 plans.
