I got this phone as an upgrade and was extremely happy with its sleek appearence and good initial reviews.
After about a month of use it all started to go wrong with the touch screen becoming unresponsive or becoming stuck on one button. The off button then wouldn't work either. I took it back and got them to reset it all which they assured me it would correct the problems. It worked for about a week before reverting to being unresponsive.
This phone has been the worst phone I've ever had and is very frustrating. I've still got a year left on my two year contract and have reverted to using an old phone rather than the LG Arena.
I'd choose a different phone if you are deciding to buy this one.

The first thing is that this phone uses Dolby Mobile in its music player. It is ASTOUNDING. I've had an ipod touch over two years, and Dolby kicks *ss and wipes the floor over the ipod.
Music: I had no problem transferring my MP3s via the software although i would recommend Windows Media Player its so much faster, and it kept all my files/folders/artists in order as i know them on the ipod. (If you have AAC files you will need to get itunes to convert them to MP3).
Camera:The still camera is incredible and the post-tweeking of your pics presents endless possiblities. The dvd quality video camera is also extremely good quality.
Movies: To be honest, if you don't want to play around with video conversion software, dont bother, as you will become very familiar with the words 'Not Supported'. But there are some very easy to use software packages such as Cucusoft DVD converter or AVS DVD converter. You can only convert to certain types of files (i use H264). Also the player will not play movies with sound file sample size greater than 16-bit or with a bit rate lower than 16kbps or a sample rate lower than about 32000Hz.
I cant praise this 'phone' enough. Its the only satisfactory piece of kit that can handle music, movies, photos/video, has a memory card slot and can make calls(!) that i know of. I will of course use itunes for downloads, but they will go straight onto this handset.
The browser is also very good. Navigation is a little fiddly but ive gotten used to it.
Lastly, as far as i can tell, the arena is no faster or slower than an ipod touch to operate.

This is a great phone. Took a while to get used to it as touch screen is very sensitive but they'vbe built in some user friendly features like it vibrates each time you touch the screen so you know you've hit the right button. At first you feel like your fingers are huge blundering digits (if you have medium to long nails this is NOT the phone for you) but well worth persevering as it has a nice intuitive feel. It's light weight and slim but packed with really useful features like swipe screens and optional qwerty keypad in landscape view. The camera is very good and takes beautiful photos. The only downside is rubbish internet browsing but that's down to the technology rather than the phone.
Highly recommend this phone.

I honestly don't see how anyone can give this phone 5 stars when it seems incapable of performing the most basic functions required in a phone ie making and receiving a call. Read more

Good, but extreamily pricey.
This is a very good phone, but it does look a bit like an iPhone and is very expensive for what you get. Read more
