LG KM900 Arena Official Launch Date

We have heard official news that the LG Arena will be launching in the UK on March 2nd. The LG Arena is LG’s flagship phone for 2009 so it had better be something pretty special.

LG has this to say about the Arena:

We’re very pleased to be able to announce the launch of our flagship mobile phone for 2009, the LG ARENA (LG-KM900). This fully loaded multimedia phone featuring LG’s new and innovative 3D user interface (UI), will be unveiled for the first time at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

LG ARENA’s groundbreaking 3D UI is specifically designed to be a more fun and engaging gateway to delivering an amazing multimedia experience. A cube-based layout provides four customisable home screens for direct access to all features. Accessing music, movies, pictures and more is now easier than ever, with new and intuitive touch-based 3D menus. The rich 3D graphics bring LG ARENA to life with an enhanced look and also makes navigating through the menus even easier.

Sony Ericsson C901 Cybershot

Via Slashphone comes the Sony Ericsson C901 Cybershot, a new 5 mega pixel camera phone to be added to the Cybershot lineup.

The Sony Ericsson C901 will be a candybar style handset with 2.2 inch screen.

The C901 is a sister to the new Sony Ericsson C903 and the already popular Sony Ericsson C905 which Sony Ericsson released a few months ago.

The Sony Ericsson C901 can be used with GSM Quadband network, other features include a memory card slot, 2.2-inch TFT display screen, FM Radio, Bluetooth and built-in accelerometer sensor. It will be available in Q2 this year with 3 color options: Noble Black, Sincere Silver and Precious Peach.

Nokia N86 Announced, Launch Date & Full Details

Meet the Nokia N86, the latest N Series smartphone to be released by the worlds biggest mobile phone manufacturer. The N86 hasn’t been officially announced but it seems to have been intentionally leaked by Nokia to build up some buzz at the MWC this week.

The specifications include a 8 megapixel autofocus camera, obviously using Carl Zeiss optics, and a Xenon flash.

Other features include assisted GPS, a 3,5mm jack plug and a 2.6″ 16 million colour OLED screen, video and music player, Wi-Fi, TV-out, stereo speakers and A2DP Bluetooth.

It’s a smartphone with Symbian S60 3rd Edition and an 8GB internal memory and a MicroSD card slot to increase this to 16GB. The likely launch date is May this year in the UK.

BGR has full details:

The image above is extracted from a Nokia press document covering the background of Nokia’s business relationship with optics master Carl Zeiss. Little beyond the form factor can be ascertained from the document, though an image of the back of the phone does reveal a xenon flash to go along with that much anticipated 8 megapixel shooter. The screen looks to be a bit on the small side which makes us think it will not be touch-enabled but hey - baby steps. Nokia’s new Eseries sets are nice and all but this is the kit we want.

Samsung Omnia HD Launched

The Samsung Omnia HD and HTC Touch Diamond 2 were unveiled at Mobile World Congress. What do they have to offer compared to the predecessors?

At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, HTC took the wraps off their newest phones based on the HTC Touch design. The HTC Touch Diamond 2 (and the accompanying HTC Touch Pro 2) is a feature bump to the original, popular HTC Touch Diamond phone.

Like the original, the new HTC Touch Diamond 2 (specs) is a Windows Mobile phone with an improved graphical interface running on top. In this case, HTC has improved the already-impressive TouchFLO 3D interface, and the new HTC Touch phones will be upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6.5 later this year. This upgrade will be free to existing owners, and will for instance add Internet Explorer Mobile 6, Windows Marketplace and the new My Phone cloud service for mobile backup.

At the same time, Samsung announced their newest all-touch smartphone, the Samsung Omnia HD (specs). While the original Omnia was a Windows Mobile device, the new Samsung Omnia HD is a Symbian device running a touch-friendly interface. In fact, the Omnia HD will use the same Samsung TouchWiz interface that we saw on the original Samsung Omnia. The interface relies heavily on desktop-like widgets, and screenshots of the new Samsung Omnia HD show that the phone will retain this design paradigm, albeit on top of Symbian S60.
