14 DAY TRIAL // 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.
