Video Tour: LG's S-Class UI on Arena

[tisniewaareh]

LG ARENA IS FUCKING BAD, I HAD ONE, AND IT WAS BROKE AFTER A FUCKING YEAR



[gogocro1]

what's the point of making feature phones these days? Android is awesome, and WP7 is also avaliable...

[leandro12345v3]

hello would like to know because my lg arena has no shortcuts google and youtube thank you hope your answer

[button4boy]

he fails to show that you don't actually need to "go back out to the cube" to change screen, you can just swipe across the screen... but yeah, I agree with TheNeckSmacker, my phone is quite a bit slower than this, really annoying!

[nafedz]

PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ answer, which version firmware is this? I have the same one but its like atleast 1 second slower than that kind of annoying.

TYVM DUDE

[rene36n6]

es un buen equipo, una chisma ese hp

[TheNeckSmacker]

I have this phone for about a month now. I think it's a very decent phone. Haven't had any problems yet, a good multimedia phone, love it so far.

[fullmetaljon]

couple of times the back button didnt want to go back

[ILuvYewh4Eva]

Is It Smartphone?

[xxjamesxx105]

@ILuvYewh4Eva i dont think so

[SimplyAnniex0x]

Do they still sell this phone in stores?

[sirisem]

like the roller dex

[sirisem]

i want it! its almost my birth day

[halo45121]

Would all of you nitwits stop comparing every fucking phone that comes out to the iPhone?

I like the iPhone, but shut the fuck up. It's not that amazing.

[BeckyForTheLULs]

@halo45121 I agree!

everything has to be "vs. the iphone"

I like the iphone too but theres lots of other phones i would rather have

[carrier2013]

@halo45121 Yeah, my mom has the iPhone, it is that amazing. Every other phone that comes out tries to copy and compete with the iPhone. So if you wondering why people compare, it's because this phone is an iPhone wannabe.

[halo45121]

@carrier2013 Not really. Apple is too restrictive and careful about the preservation of their own technology to allow the iPhone users to push the phone to its full potential.

And not really, again. In the physical design of phones, there are not many like the iPhone. Entirely touch phones can be a pain in the ass without glass-coating the screen and adding multitouch, which might get Apple's legal representatives' panties all bunched up.

[halo45121]

@carrier2013 As for software, few phones use a UI like the iPhones. Blackberry OS is out there, along with Android, WebOS, various linux-based operating systems, and most of those can be customized to suit the needs of the user, unlike the iPhone. And the App Store really isn't that impressive. More than half of the apps in the store cost too much and have no significance.

And I wasn't just talking about this phone, but every phone. The iPhone is just a phone, not a benchmark for the industry.

[carrier2013]

@halo45121 Apple's iPhone runs a lot more smooth than any other touch screen phone out there. You can jailbreak, which gives you free applications, and there are a lot of things you can do to it.

[halo45121]

@carrier2013 Eh, I was thinking without modification. And pirating apps is illegal. Regardless of how many apps I've gotten from Installous, let's keep the debate inside the law, eh? Haha.

Have you checked out some of the newer Android phones? If not, I highly recommend you use some. Nexus One is amazing as far as the smoothness of the screen and UI.

Palm is getting better, too. I'm looking forward to the Pre Plus for AT&T.

[Utubealbano7]

@reaver16. Excuse me but i dont agree... You've never tested the Iphone's multiplicity. Ipod, internet, video, camera and thousands of appls. What more do you want? To surpase the limit, make it a jailbrake and you'll see

[juanchitobolson]

exelentttttttttttttttttt my fabourite fone

[TheGonza92]

the best phoneeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shortguy4life]

@utubealbano7 the iphones a great phone my brother has it but some people want other phones. and if u have an itouch ur retarded

[niyabev]

@shortguy4life why

[felixhi5]

ese lg arena tiene flachs de lan tero que onda tan salbaje felix aleman ocon

[Utubealbano7]

@mtlchris9 , RavensysteM: this phone is a shit! Thats why i prefer iphone 3gs or whatever.Expensive? That's an excuse to say its better phone. I have tested almost all th cellphones and trust me guys nothing compares th iphone series

[Utubealbano7]

I don't get surprise when i look to a new phone and less to this lg Arena, instead, get the iPhone 3gs or th iPhone 4g when it comes this year; more expensive but a way too better smartphone...

[reaver16]

It's just expensive, but it would never be the better smartphone, it's the worst actually... iPhone is crap...

[diongardeur]

i want to buy this phone

[Utubealbano7]

Hi everybody.one important thing in life is being well comunicated with all powers: call, web, games, appls, weather, news and so more...with a iPhone 3g...

[Utubealbano7]

To RavensysteM: ...but this problem was solved ; and many other will be solved soon. It has progresed ti better: you can copy, paste... From the web.You can watch and edit videos and put it on utube and so more.The camera although is 3mpx will get better soon. Man! Have you seen "iphone's Ipod", or "maps" that let you know where you are and where you can go showing you all the streets and main places at your hand.

[mtlchris9]

so what, alot of phones can do that, and alot more, like the droid. and yea, the camera sucks big time

[mtlchris9]

hell the arena almost has better multimedia features than the iphone, and its just a feature phone

[Utubealbano7]

To RavensysteM: I understand your opinion but maybe you are a phone seller and know better that iPhone 3gs tecnology is superior than any smartphone's in the market. You regret about its price, "it" tells about its cost...No matter that when apple stared launching this cellphone, the bluetooth didn't respond to customer's needs

[RavensysteM]

OFC The Iphone is better because the LG Arena is not a smartphone at all! It has an own OS which hardly can modified but it IS still the smartest non smartphone out here after all.

And: 700 € is beyond good and evil...

[Utubealbano7]

To RavensysteM: I understand your opinion but maybe you are a phone seller and know better that iPhone 3gs tecnology is superior than any smartphone's in the market. You regret about its price, "it" tells about its cost...No matter that when apple stared launching this cellphone, the bluetooth didn't respond to customer's needs...

[mtlchris9]

not true, its technology is not superior. there are two phones (HD2 and nexus one, and soon the xperia x10) that have the snapdragon chip which is faster than the iphone 3Gs

[sarahmckinaz09]

i have just got the lg Arena but some of the icons are not n colour just grey? is that common is that a problem? PLEASE HEP!

[sarap900]

i got lg cookie and its really good budget phone. Nxt year i will buy lg arena if the price goes down.

[Utubealbano7]

The iPhone doesn't cost  3 times more, it's 200$ more and I ensure you it's worth it.The software iPhone 3G(s) has is undefeatable.Try and buy and you'll never regret.

[RavensysteM]

as far as I know

Iphone 3GS (you have to buy it in ITALY): 700 Euro

LG Arena: 200 Euro

Here in germany thats even more than 3x times...

[fogger456]

I consider to buy it.

[Utubealbano7]

The arena is a good equipment but is not better than iPhone 3gs neither than 3g's... Iphone's software is stronger and easy-to-repaire in case it breaks down. One's just clean the software and you got a new one! You got tons is applications and facilities you don't have with the Arena.Besides, Apple!! Anderson Albano, Rep.Dom.

[xSasuke16x]

but the iphone cost 3times more

[sha9torres]

than how to fix it?

[sha9torres]

i heard the phone crashes? Is it true?

[BGDHSF]

fsdhghsdgsdfgsdf

[seokyounghwang]

which one is better iPhone 3GS or this one, lg arena?

[CHiiLLer1990]

i have the arena and its very good, but if you have over 250songs the mp3player is very very slow.

the cam of the arena is better than the cam of the iphone.

the menu of the arena is clearer but the display is smaller.

i cant say sth about the games because i havnt got some. and the arena is cheaper!!!

i hope i could help you

sry for mistakes, i´m 14 and german

[Malacoson]

I like LG arena more :D

Iphone is more expensive too :/

I gonna buy i ARENA ;D

[dbskholicable]

hello! have you bought arena? may i ask if it lags and auto shut down? cos i was thinking of getting arena too.

thank you for helping!!

Jo

[Malacoson]

no lagg ;D

[yasmindalton]

i have the arena, and its so much quicker and more light. whereas the iPhone 3GS is big and bulky and the LG arena is so much more touchy if you get me, its just a reaallylly great fone. trust me you should deffo get the arena :D hope i helped

[thrush1991]

Iphone... Lg arena is annoying.. accelerometer is unresponsive and so on

[pwnagekills71]

lg arena

waaay better

[rockythepain]

@pwnagekills71  hey guyz plz help i cant choose what to buy: LG Arena or LG Renoir or Moto Surf or SE W995???

plz help!!

[xxjamesxx105]

@rockythepain lg arena

[08doppness]

i'm so fuckin' getting this phone. no exceptions hha lol =]

[haikallp]

dun wanna get the Samsung Jet?

[muffa08]

well i don't really like the jet, the touchscreen isn't as responsive as the lg arena cuz the jet is resistive and arena is capacitiv. And if you have alot of widgets on your homescreen you can barely switch between homescreens...

[haikallp]

ah, i see :)

okiee..was just suggesting..

i'm in a dilema..i dunno wether to choose arena or samsung jet cause i've heard the arena lags and have glitches :S

[muffa08]

I'd get the Arena, cause

1. it's cheaper

2. it's capacitive

3. you can download tons of games on it (dunno if i can also do that on the jet)

4. i just like the S-class UI...

[sha9torres]

while massaging. does it vibrate when i type a letter?

[ubercoolman7]

i saw this phone at some korean market in atlanta

[metal0dude6]

i have the N97 and it is soo awesome you should all buy that XD

[muffa08]

am I able to download widgets for the arena straight from the arena?

[PlanesAllTheWay]

gonna get this phone any other recommendations?

[z7f911]

i cant decide between this phone and the iphone , but this one is way cheaper in my country

why do ppl care who came up with what idea first whats important is who perfected it and gave it a reasonable price

so if the lg is as good a the iphone and yah its a clone of the iphone but waaaaay cheaper ill go for the lg arena

[youfreaker]

of course the arena is cheaper :P in my country you had a special version (armin van Buuren edition) wich has 16 GB intern memory. in iPhone 3GS 16 GB you pay like 800 euros 1euro is like 1,5 dollar so its WAAAYYY cheaper :P im prefer the iphone but thats to expensive

[carloken360]

for months already i was thinking on whether to get an iPhone 3Gs or THE Nokia N900. But since i already have an iPod Touch 2G, and i saw how good this LG Arena is, im SOLD! I finally decided to have this. I'm gonna keep my iPod touch cause i dont want to lose the goodness of the Safari mobile & the free games on the AppStore. LOL!

[muffa08]

does it have somthin like cover flo... like by the iphone or ipods?

[difrankie]

i bought it and im waiting for it to come, im just anxious about waiting! hope it fills up my expectations!!!

[PanLizba]

I'm getting my arena on monday probably!!! Can u tell me where can i get applications and if there is a facebook app?

[4ntti93]

perseestä

[GrimGimp]

w995

[AZNmangapro]

Did dis phone come out in america and if it did wat carrier is it for

[dimitrismpower]

iam about to buy the "LG KM900 Arena" and the "LG KC910 Renoir" but i cant deside(iam also thinking of the nokia 5800xpressmusic)...can anyone help??

[killatilla112]

nokia is best 4 music :D i got the non touch screen xpress music 5610 and the music player is brilliant :P

[gaastra12]

no its not, LG Arena's Music Player is soooo much better than the crappy laggy sluggish nokia music player. its so much nicer looking and has Dolby Mobile Surround Sound, and much more options and it looks awesome, being even better than the iphone 3gs music player.

[killatilla112]

iPhone is shit anyways :P cant even make videos i mean cmon :D btw im getting an Arena next month :P

[gaastra12]

cool :D i have mine already, and i must say im astounished. its amazing man, the feel to it. its just great. i downloaded some applications for it and i feel 100% close to it, like its my own personal device and not just another puppet like an iphone. and the camera is awesome for 5mp.

[Himaxbladers]

shit is your mom, dude...

[HokjeBlokje]

thumbs up i bought this phone today and its AWESOME ! :)

[John358]

Does the music player have shuffle function ?

[Raybanmonster]

Firmware issues, nothing is smooth. Radio is mono, UI is silly with this box turn idea. plays only DIVx mobile standard thus you need to convert div x vids using software provided. Bad log and order songs well using typical ID tags, WiFi not implemented properly, doesnt work right, cannot watch bbci movies (uk only) or YouTube video without massive frustrating tweaking, why limit of 999 contacts? why video recorded in 3GP? freezes & stalls a lot. Google maps doesnt update my location.

[gaastra12]

good phone but it lacks special abilities

[ianboykiddo]

i had this phone the a month now..and i'm loving it!!! :)

[JyLn24]

It is awesomeeeee !

[judyjoey123]

this owns the icrap.

[CardOnCard]

Wow.. This Phone is awesome ;d

[SundancerRanger]

i m thinking of getting one touch screen phone... is this phone worth buying?

[rrmvpdh]

lg arena of samung star? i don't know which one to choose

[slovenijjaa]

arena...

[Saharaplace]

Wow, it hardly works

[cooldude12345657]

is the lg S-class 3d GUI slow?

[Bryskie7]

its looks like its slow

[chrishernandez102394]

is this touch screen like the iphones?

[exdakira]

yep

[konarto]

iphone is de best

[nataalieeee]

wholy cow, this phone is pretty damn thick, but yeahh, it still looks like a good phone :)

[Mouroudaoui]

The touchscreen of Arena is better than the Jet

[SweetContour]

everyone who always think that whatever phone has even the slightest simailarity to the iphone there copying , is quite ignorant i mean give that phone a chance lol in my opinioun

[Mouroudaoui]

No LG arena is better than iphone :(

[audio119]

the arena's price is better then the iphone

[kentzuh86]

i have this and it works fine, the only disapointment is that it does not have any themes installed/supported :(

[MaxShamko]

they say the screen is scrach and bullet proof..

[safcdanny]

I'll let you try that feature out, haha.

[danniidisaster2009]

is this better than the tocco lite? i know it sounds stupid, but is it?

[X2pt]

haha iPhone copy

[megasoniclozer1]

shits on it

[cantell933]

haha. That phrase is old now. haha

[Knightaea]

oh !! I need it.

[pinkangellikeme]

today is my birthday and I have the Lg Arena but I dont know how to use bluetooth.

There is a password or something.

[CRAZY4MUSIC11]

Much quicker ui than LG Renoir

[storeseven]

LG KM900 is much much much better.

[2054386]

Which one is better LG KM900 Arena or Samsung I900 Omnia?

[2054386]

Which one is better LG KM900 Arena or Samsung I900 Omnia?

[JakeDewar227]

[BetaOverclocking]

This phone is awesome.

I have it ^_^

[uhhsowhatever]

to confusing

[MANUTD17CHIVAS]

when will this be released in US?? also will it be released for att?

[ChrisVVN]

I just got it in and I'm figuring it out. But for now:

It's not as slow as I saw in comments, I don''t find it slow, or at least not that much that it annoys me. Also, I read comments about the button in the upper right corner for 'return'. They said it wasn't working well. Not true either. Up till now I find it an awesome phone, it looks beautiful and has a lot of options!

[Ottyker]

I have that phone! I think is great! I like !!!

[enuhj13]

]]'['

[shakila97]

[cam9408]

i don't like how everything is set out!

[Wiredex]

I really love this phone, but is the scrolling really as slow as the one i see in the video above?

I saw alot of negative comments and is worrying me .

[NeosPunch123]

[coolfx350]

[TheSament]

[ash61961]

please be verizon

[GossipSinger101]

[Kaddix28]

[ShowNoMercy7]

[realist217]

lol ...im guessing ur an iphone fan??????this fone kicks iphone ass neday

[noranmarmarr]

Hey ! I really want to get this phone but im not sure if its good enough ! .. my last phone lasted like only 9 months . i had motorola z6 :s .. so shud i buy this one ? and if not why ?

[deadzonee]

I think You should buy LG GD900 :P

[StiDeeDee]

Well. It seems to be a good phone and LG-s usually last long... So if you have the chance to buy it, go for it.

[tenwhpanar]

I really want to buy this phone, it looks great, just have to wait for my paycheck lol

[Jswag7892]

what company is this phone for

[Don32136]

i have the iphone 3g and it owns all phones

[ShowNoMercy7]

Can someone seriously please i beg people tell me when this phone is coming to america

and if its already in america is it with at&t . I been waiting for this phone for so long, oh and there was a comparison of this phone and the new iphone 3g and the iphone is SLOW, it toke longer then the lg arena, arena toke like 3 sec while iphone toke like 8 secs no lie people!!!

[sskuy]

it took it 3 seconds to do what?

really think about what you're trying to say.

[ShowNoMercy7]

it toke the lg arena 3sec to the photo and internet

[seoul588]

I bought this phone and wanted so much to love it that I pretended the demo model didn't crash while I was testing it - which it did. Should have known..., I brought mine home and have been plagued by issues. It freezes all the time. I end up having to take out the battery which is a pain in and of itself. I tried to upgrade this thing online tonight and even that is a pain. It's going on 3am here and I'm ready to head to Korea and beat up some LG eggheads. Unfortunately the phone sucks.

[ribaldi]

Nice ideas but the rolodex scrolling needs work. It's pretty slow. And contacts should be easier to get to than going through pictures. Gotta have a way to get to an alphabet fast.

[afxotica]

LG Arena.....No "operating system". No apps. (It uses what is commonly known as UI (user interface).

[getnelson852]

Great review, can u tell me if this interface has a FILE MANAGER? I ask this since if you fill up the unit with over 500 or more photos, the scrool wheel will slow to a craw... very darn slow!! is that so in your test? thank you. Can i view photos using "list view" instead of Thumbnail, too slow...!!

[959tolis626]

What i'm trying to say is,don't tire yourselves comparing them cause it makes no sense.

And it has 8gb internal memory expandable up to 40gb with a microSD.isn't that enough???omfg!

[959tolis626]

Well guys,my arena is coming tomorrow and i also have an htc touch diamond.i also use a friend's iphone every day.every one has their own goods and bads,but,in my opinion,both the arena and iphone are toys compared to touch diamond or omnia etc.nice toys though...

[abadboy2797]

yup

[TheSnowMiser111]

is this for verizon?

[Zodicz]

all this talk about the Iphone 3G.

if you want a mobile that is purly better and i even think cheaper than the Iphone. then buy the Samsung Omnia HD.

iphone is like a Sony T630 if you compare it against the Omnia HD

[nefakithebest]

ok, I want this phone RIGHT NOW!!!

[geezermeezer]

how much hard disk space does it have?

[Swiperluck]

8GB

[geezermeezer]

thats not much, doesnt it go higher like 16GB or 32GB like the iphone

[Biggzy17]

i hate americans that say MULT-EYE-MEDIA

[mxpro2]

i love americans that say that brits ARE DICK _HEADS that say that they hate americans that Say MULTI_EYE_MEDIA

[chrislyon06]

The screen quality is AMAZING.

[bocherrini]

YEAH! Really, reaqlly high res screen for it's size, and tons of colours. I was really impressed by the display.

[liersie]

i have this phone, don't get it full of bugs rofl

[spk13066]

i sure do like slick little interfaces

[KONKANevolution]

:baba:

:(

[kavithewolf]

LG does great phones but looks fucking ugly compared to the iPhone or Palm Pre! these icons just resembles those fucking chinamobile!

[swanlakegirl1]
