LG Arena KM900 press photo leaked... by LG

Guess LG UK apparently can't wait to show the world the new Arena KM900 -- it's published a high-quality press photo on its corporate blog ten days before the official reveal at MWC. This is also our first glimpse of that "S-Class 3D interface," and it's... definitely a spinning 3D cube with some icons on it. No further confirmation on those details we'd heard, but we'll see if this thing is more than just another touchscreen dumbphone wannabe when we get our hands on it.

"and it's... definitely a spinning 3D cube with some icons on it."

Wow, narcissistic much? That's one of the sexiest "dumb phones" I've seen in quite a while.

Why should smartphones have all the fun? I'm a retailer for AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile and
the #1 reason I have problems qualifying people is because they want what they can't afford.

And what is it that they want? A great looking phone with a slick interface without having to shell
out an additional $25-30 per month for data. Sure, data opens the door to a lot of other great
application and communication options, but think about how many people own iPod touches.

So long as the Arena supports WiFi, I see this being a strong seller and a great way for LG to
get back in the game.

I'm glad to see LG has been playing with desktop OS X as well as iPhone OS X.

It gives me a headache just thinking about how to use a "spinning 3D cube" as interface to my phone. The best dumbphone UI comes from Sony Ericsson, simply because it is very easy to use and not a gimmick like this LG phone appears to be,
