[MrsRozy12]

Lg phones are BETTTTER then iPhone..

[Chrisjuh184]

this is a shit phone i recommended dont buy it its very unstable crashes all the time or even turns off dont buy this !

[Jangofat1]

@Chrisjuh184 agreed. this phone is awfully unstable, it crashes 3times a day at least, no joke. buyd a htc hd2 and im so happy with it.

[cocopops399]

I dont know if i want this phone or the Samsung S8500 Wave...

[MrArbry]

veryyyyy great.

[MrArbry]

veryyyyy great

[pals28]

I have this one too! and its great!

[HelenaMoraaes]

i have one :)

[paroutdiok]

this phone is great...fuck the iphone...lg rules!

[joker57082]

the size just like a iphone this is a phone worth buying

[lalak5]

i wanted to buy lg gt 505 but i think i will buy this!

[Seebits]

Worst phone i ever had. Not recommended by me!

[TheBellzilla]

I completely agree, ive got this phone as well, it is the worst phone ive had so far, its frustraiting, it freezes, its slow...i could go all day about how much this phone is bad...dont buy the phone...i got this for my birthday in March, i think the only good thing about it is the camera quality. the camera is slow but the quality is great.

[jasmine71693]

if i have acrylic nails would i be able 2 use this touchscreen quite easily?

[MisseWilliams]

@jasmine71693 no the touch function doesnt work with a fingernail.

[natebocek]

@jasmine71693

your better off with resistive touchscreen

[EDX282]

I am selling the LG Arena Black in excellent condition with 15GB memory and free case and screen protector for £109.99 on eBay.

[syst3m08]

[OUTTOKILLU123456789]

iphone clone i can tell i have one

[thekevalin]

I admit I don't use it too much to watch the TV, but I love playing with it when I standing in line somewhere, thinking about nothing! :-D Seriously, I think it's a cool little innovation, as long as you're careful with it...it seems kind of flimsy.

[thekevalin]

[thekevalin]

Oh, my God, LG actually LISTENED! I have the LG Vu, and I really love it, except for one thing--no decent earphone jack. I've been looking at other brands to replace this phone, I've come to hate it so much...but they listened, and added a decent jack. Guess I'll be upgrading to the Arena, now. Yay!

[rsviesh]

@thekevalin yeah i love my vu but the lack of a jack is lame since the port you have to use comes loose and and you cant hear. but how much do you love the antenna?

[rgoehner]

Speak up!!

[stevio]

Would've been nice to see how long the web page took to load...that edit could've hidden mins!?

[Macinabit]

had one of these and the camera and photos is I would say as good as the N96 only draw back is the qwerty keyboard is a bit of a pig to use

[marekx371]

what phone do u think is good to buy rite now

[fililoll2000]

My bro. has this mobile, and he says my iPod Touch is much better. When he says that, I think it's real crap. Only advantage = front cam.

[GreenySVK]

all is smooth but i think that browser is piece of s**t. it pretty lags.

[GameerSpot]

lmao i know i am probably going to get thumbs down for this but i really only understood half the things you said. the other times you were either mumbling a bit or your voice was low

[bbelaj]

i understood everything, and i'm not even native english speaker... anyway nice review

[TheBeatJunkiie]

@HorseyLoverr why not ?????

[ravinity08]

who said you can't watch youtube on this phone? then how come youtube is working in my LG arena phone

[sakurachan19]

@ravinity08 could u please give me your own review of the phone if is not too much to ask im planning to get the pink one in a few days ...thank you in advance! =D

[blackdragon9998886]

plzz tell me where i can buy this phone at a store near me i live in canada ontario

[naal13]

I want this phone so baaad!!! And it has 8GB memory!!! Wow. That´s the same much as my iPod Touch!!!! Incredible!!!

Awesome review by the way!!!! 5/5!!!

[cagesafety]

looks a bit better in black & i have to admit its a VeRy good phone :D xx

[MAKAVELI2DAWN]

@cagesafety but does it play muzik loud???

[Voccaass]

Omg, this LG is copy of iPhone. I hate this mobile. Buy iPhone and not this bad copy...

[sparklingemeralds]

iphone is three times the cost of the Arena!

[AudiBoison]

believe what you will i like both.

[solimtokiohotel]

hi! how do you put in the picture in the music album at the scroll thing... the picture of the band??? sorry my bad english

[ejol007]

I have another problem with this phone.

when i connect it with wi-fi,

and i access youtube and when i try to watch a video, it said `Service Not Supported-Wi-Fi`.

can u help me with this problem??

[CAMILLAAAx]

you can't watch youtube-movies on this phone

[ejol007]

Correction :)

*SAY

[ejol007]

I Bought the black color of this phone.

and i like the white version. can i change it?? :))

u know, like u buy the skin at store and replace it.

and,people always saw that this phone always crash/hang.

well,the first day day i bought this phone.

it hang quite a lot when i uploaded tons of songs and videos.

but now, it does not crash/hang. i

*i know it sounds stupid

[Nehbur]

It's a shitphone. It's a Ipod ripoff 2 years later and it failed massively at it. Don't get me started on the stuff that's wrong about it. Never ever will I get anything from LG again. Too miserable to put a decent processor in a phone.

[0121BirmzFinest]

cant wait till i get this for xmas

cuz ent had a phone for 2months now :D

[Mariithh]

yes I ordered it last tuesday it could come anyday now:)

love it!

[Brachtser]

i own one... and i'm not really happy with it, i cant play videos in the internet, so theres no youtube for you :\

an there also arent many apps for it ...

[Mariithh]

why aren't you happy with it,

I know it doesn't have a lot of apps, but well, I had a wreck of a phone for the last year so I'm more than satisfied with it now i've got it.

and i can play videos with it, if I use WIFI. I'haven't had any problems with youtube or anything. maybe you should go back to the store and ask there. mine hasn't got a problem.

[Brachtser]

well youtube works now on my arena but i had to get a nwe software to make that possible

[swedengecko]

you know a phone is ment to talk in :P

[xJasmineGriffin]

@Mariithh i hate the phone . i have it 2 years know. it has a bad battery ! etc. etc.

[ascensionkiller]

there are so many things they just copied from the iPhone :D

[swmproduction]

tomorrow i get this mobile too!

[haikallp]

i disagree wif ConstantREA..LG doesn't sux..just that some of the models sux..

and there sucky samsung phones too..

btw, i'm more of a samsung guy..

[Malacoson]

Aswesome mobile!!! :D

[ConstantREA]

LG Sucks! Samsung rull!!!!!!

[sexyblondeangel88]

i have one (samsung 'armani night effect) and im so disappointed -.- im about to buy something else.

[ConstantREA]

Samsung armani night effect is a style phone, nothing special. I have F490, it`s nise phone whith big abilities))

[ConstantREA]

Samsung Armani fashion phone, the special features it doesn't have, it just allows you to look good) I have a F490 it has a function and look good!

[spud30000]

which i best, this or the crystal??

[stevie0301]

Obviously not... it has wifi >.>

what rock have you been living under?

[xxbbl3u3xx]

does it cost 2 go on the internet on this phone?

[biskitdabikkie]

i cant wait cuz i am gettin this fone on thursday and i have been excited too get it 4 like eva i shuld say it is waaay better then the i-phone

[RyaanM123]

Talk Crap, It Can't Unlock Itself In Your Pocket Cause It Only Responds To Your Finger As Its A ''Capasitive'' Touch Screen ... You Should Know That

[jakeman132]

Also, with regards to the accelerometer, can you tip it to the left and right? Is it multi-directional.

[3liteX]

Yes as you see at 3:40 its fliped on its side

[jakeman132]

I need a quick answer.

Does the Arena have a qwerty touchscreen keyboard, for texting etc?

I was about to get the Samsung F480 but was shocked to find it didn't.

[hoot13uk]

yes!

[jbe1996]

yes , it does have the qwerty keyboard.

you just tip the phone to the left, and then it comes .

[3liteX]

yes it does its on the screen pretty cool so if that helps

[monkeyfACE6911123]

Yes.

[babuangel]

what does arena mean?

[F0B3Y]

in spanish it means "sand" but in English it means something like a large place. Somewhere where u fight usually. I don't know just google a definition

[babuangel]

thank you for that definition, but i was looking for more of the meaning, why does it say arena? does the work "arena" in the phone mean something special to the phone?

[condeccs]

it doesn't mean anything, just a name, like the blackberry storm, nothing to do with an actual storm...

[babuangel]

i see, thank you. But for some certain reason, isn't Lg Arena's more expensive?

[haikallp]

hahas..

[zookluvstits]

i got this phone yesterday love it however the camera is shit! says 5 mega pixal bull more like 1mega pixal will be sending back

[cockoftheblock]

i have the just just had it a little under 3 weeks so far so good. it was kind of a toss up between this and the arena. i wont comment on the arena because i know nothing of it hands on. but what i can tell you is the jet works great for me. pics are fast flash is good. if things come out over saturated or white washed you just need to play with the settings to get the right shot. the arena looks like a good phone too. its hit the million mark already in sales. either way you go respect to both

[RiesDaPies]

guys, i have the lg arena, but when i turn on the "basic screen" the background is just grey. in this video it has colours, like green in the contacts screen. i was wondering why my one doesnt have colors as backgrounds. can anyone help me?

[dimitrismpower]

you idiot retards , rubbish is your brain.i have tested both arena and samsung jet and the arena is 10x faster and it has 10x more touch-friendly screen.the jet have better cpu , though , its very slow. if you dont know , dont talk ! noooooobies!

[larsenmark277]

Yea samsung jet sux

[chasbigbrother]

I looked at the samsung jet instore and thought it was crap... i got this and so far have had no problems wiv it and think it is a great touch screen phone!

[safio2007]

this phone is Crap .... samsung Jet is 10x faster than this shit

[RyaanM123]

Actually thats coz its the fastest phone ever made, even faster than the iphone so ...

this is a great phone for £300

Jet and this a re probably as good as eachother but i personally think this is better than jet AND iphone!

[skatingit]

the interface looks like a iphone theme

[PCthesecond]

I have this phone its soshit the camras rubbish takes a year to take a picture the buttons have stoped responding i canrt use the key pad and when it works its shit dont but it

[Epyongndm]

looks like your mother's ass , look better, the phone beats the iphone believe it or not , you guys are just like those vista guys lmao

[iPhoneMusicChannel]

OMG iPhone Wanabee!

Tho, my iPhone 3Gs is faster and 10x more smooth... This phone is a cheap rip-off

[thekevalin]

@iPhoneMusicChannel: Some folks don't

want to pay a shit-load of money for an

iphone...which can't, by the way, be insured

thru ATT, the Arena can. That got real

important to me the other day when I lost

my LG phone! Besides, my dad has had to

replace his iPhone three times in the last

year! That's not so great, from what I can

see.

[Thuglord79]

looks like a cheap iphone!

[2p5isjet]

Thuglord, no one calls iphone a phone, so if you don't know about decent phones, don't talk

[Thuglord79]

hahaha..

[Dancerbility]

i have a lg viewty and the battery life has been really good have had the phone on constant as i use it as my alarm.. for 18 months and the battery is still very good..

[cooldude12345657]

when will at&t release this phone?

[tarsam24]

hi can any one tell me about battery life its good or not

[Dancerbility]

my viewty has an excellent battery life and i have had it on constant since i got it 18 months ago i re charge it now and again and it is still going 18 months later i would say that their batteries are really outstanding

[goodstand11]

This or the enV Touch

[farii87]

which one is best this or samsung jet plz tell me ........ n wht abt the sound is it loud.......???

[INFERNOWARP]

this 1 is a very good and actually affordable jet seems a bit better bigger screen CPU and stuff but cost probably like twice as much

[hamzahalabi]

samsung jet is better

[juber459]

this or the cookie?

[flavaflow4]

this one is better

[tropicalfilms]

can you have phone charms on this phone

[Rachelsxdreamz]

is this better or the lg viewty smart?? plz help x

[tropicalfilms]

yes it is better

[KB93ABED]

no, this one is much better than the viewty, i had the viewty, its gd but slow

[BuBu112286]

Do you guys have difficulty typing msg using dis phone?

[bobby4500]

lg bl 40 ftw

[TopKatKiran]

which phone should i get, im stuck!!

1. lg arena

2. nokia 5800

3. blackberry pearl ?!?!

considering camera, internet speed etc, which ones better! help =S

[nviktor14]

Blackberry Pearl's camera is only 1,3 MP, and the 5800 has just 3,2 MP, too. By camera, the Arena is the best with 5 MP and autofocus. Arena's browser is very fast, has multitouch, but a bit instable. 5800 has wery bad materials, and Blackberry isnt a good choice. However,get the Arena:D

[TopKatKiran]

ooh ok, thanks! =)

[nviktor14]

You're welcome:D

[9820131575]

should i buy this or samsung jet pls help

[nviktor14]

Arena 'cause Samsung Jet's TouchWiz system is very slow and unstable.

[vkr400]

can you watch iplayer and youtube over 3g connection on this phone?

[nviktor14]

iPlayer: I'm not sure but I think not.

YouTube: sure, trough wi-fi or normal internet connection just use the browser.

[danceruss1]

this or the iphone ??

[nviktor14]

It's harder.

Arena is stronger in specification, but it's not that flexible.

Arena: camera, wi-fi, hq materials, s-class and music

iPhone(3G or 3GS it's all the same): AppStore, touch, operation system, and the "iPhone brand feeling".

However, Arena is cheaper, and that's making the Arena much better choice than iPhone.

[2054386]

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

[nviktor14]

Arena. Squarely.

arena: display, divx, music player, s-class user interface

omnia: windows mobile, camera

i think Arena is the better choice.

[pinkangellikeme]

is internet all free?

[JakeDewar227]

I hope it comes to Verizon!!!!

[AsianKid1028]

if u drop this phone will the glass shatter like the iphone?

[nviktor14]

most beautiful phone ever. iphone is a piece of cake for it.

[kopele578]

Hahahah you re right

[NewFreshHipHop]

this or the samsung s8300?

thanx

[d1268]

is the internet and that all free?

[vulcan0111]

Lol its pretty much the same as the iPhone

[QDIZZYBEATZ3]

Thats so much like the iPhone

[QDIZZYBEATZ3]

CANT WAIT....

[jonlee29]

This device has an awsome video camera which is by far the best out there... better than some handy cams...

[EXOinsider6]

Camra ..

[JA15XD]

Arena looks a lot better too and has a better camera. Also feels more solid in my hand, and made of better materials. with a really nice brushed metal finish on the front with some shiny chrome like material. Superb! Good video by the way :)

[gospelboy23]

i jus got this fone its AWESOMEEE!!!!!!!

[guusknelissen]

First phone I've seen which has multi-touch like the iPod has

[BamZapp]

lg arena or iphone 3g im saying iphone 3g as i cant afford the 3gs ?

[chokeslammer4]

is it responsive?

[JA15XD]

the touch screen is exactly as responsive as the iphone, asi have owned the iphone 3g, and sold it in the end after 2 months for the arena due to the arena doing everything the iphone does and more stuff which i needed which teh iphone didnt have.

[nylecrane2k7]

Is the wifi on the Arena free in your house?

[JA15XD]

wifi is free yer, no paying for wifi :)

[TheSament]

[jonlee29]

[G4MB1T12]

the icons aint even close of being "wannabe iphone"

if u really buy this phone and try it

[sahab999]

its a really good fone but samsung omnia is better...

[nathan0401]

[G4MB1T12]

it does have zoom but

it got a good camera

and really good camera options

but in the video you cant zoom while recording

[cvargas364]

[KWStringKing]
