Incidentally I think the UI is quite popular.

If anyone is thinking about buying this phone, I just want to say. The phone looks great but the UI is terrible. It is not user friendly and is not well thought out at all. It is so bad that I bought the phone and only use it for 1 month and gave it to my sister because I can't stand the UI and most of the phone functions. My sister now after using it for about 3 weeks can't stand this phone either.

Some firmwares are working very well and some not. That is the reason why you will observe some position & negative comments for this phone from the user with different firmware version used.
All the bugs originate from the firmwares can be fixed easily yourself by using the tricks shared by the user or flashing it to a new firmware.
If you want to know more the functionality and performance of this phone use in your country, go to this website: http://www.mylgarena.com/index.php (under "Problems/Troubleshooting" > "Firmware").

PS: My overall rating for this phone is 8.0.

i boght arena beafore 2 weeks. Device is just great, UI is so fast and in many ways phone is like iPhone. There are many GPS programs in java for this phone like MGMaps( http://www.mgmaps.com/ ), or Wisepilot ( https://www.wisepilot.com/nav11/site/portal.jsp?­action=71&unit=LGkm900 )...

I have this phone for over 5 months and I have problems with screen freeze, and it turns off by itself some times. Is there any way to verify what firmware I have on the unit? v10p or v10c? how can I find out? If I need to install v10p, how can I do that? Take it back to the place where I original purchased? Or I can installed them myself.

Thank you in advance,
