The LG KM900, also known as the Arena, is a mid-range smart phone. The main selling features of this handset are its media features, large, high-resolution 3" touchscreen and the touch interface which goes with it. LG designed a new user interface for this device, which centers around a rotatable 3D cube, with different groups of functions on each face. The Arena's media features include a 5 MP camera, 480 x 800 pixel screen, DivX and Xvid playback, full-size (3.5mm) headphone jack, 8 GBs of internal storage and wireless access. The features of the KM900 position it as a potential competitor to the iPhone, and gear it toward those looking for similar media and interface capabilities.
