It was a great opportunity for us to be able to take part in the launch of the LG Arena KM900 blogger event last night in London. We know from some of your messages that there’s been quite alot of interest in the phone since it was first announced during the Mobile World Congress (MWC), we’re happy to tell you all that the Arena will officially be available by the end of this weekend.
We were told at the event by LG Sales and Marketing Director, John Barton that the Arena will be arriving the UK mobile networks, Orange and T-Mobile, not surprisingly Phones4u and the Carphone Warhouse will also be involved in retailing.
“Vodafone is likely to stock the handset,” added John during the presentation.
Most of you will have seen the Arena in silver metallic casing and this has been confirmed to be the Orange unit. However, we have learnt that the T-Mobile version will sport a titanium black exterior.
Tariff deals for the Arena currently available for pre-order (via the Carphone) are priced at £35 per month on a contract length of 18 months.
We’ll keep everyone updated with photos and reviews of the LG Arena as we take a closer look at the demo unit we received last night.
When the phone gets opened, it will be sure to attract everyone’s attention, since a light will illuminate the transparent keyboard, watch the video below and see how it works.According to the manufacturer, the device will not be just a fashion accessory (I’m sure that’s what you are thinking right now ), but will also incorporate high-tech features and will come with a bluetooth headset which will be just as impressive!
